My bouquet of experiences is continuing. This week that means I’m back in school! One more week of learning, and what’s exciting about it is that we’re learning about how to learn! Well, good to know that, since I’m nearing the end of my current academic endeavors. I’m glad I’m not missing out on this essential piece of knowledge. And as we learn, we also learn about excellent pieces of art. Such as the one that was at the center of our learning today.

Well, then, on to learning new things once more!

Check this out: This is little Professor Nephew trying to conduct research and see how a bunch of small little field ants get along with one representer of the larger species of their kind (they actually don’t, he found out). If we do a little recap, you may remember that a couple weeks back a friend of mine got an ant working place as a present from someone else. Back then I was fascinated immediately and pretty soon thereafter thought an ant working place such as this would make a pretty perfect present for young Professor Nephew. And indeed, I don’t regret having given him this present. Though I do regret (an antsy little bit) that he decided to put two different kinds of ant people in there, because with all the biting on each other’s legs and such I wonder how many of the ants are actually going to survive this night … I guess Professor Nephew’s research results will tell him in the morning!

My sister took me to a lady’s night tonight, and it seems to me that we were rather lucky people. Not only were we treated as VIP for the simple fact that my sister provided part of the stage decoration, no we actually were really lucky. You see, it was actually a really hot and summery day. Too hot for the ice cream vendor, indeed, because the ice cream was melting, and shortly after we’d gotten our share of the delicious treat they had to close everything and stop selling. So, yes, I consider it great luck that we were some of the few people who – on a hot day – were able to get something fresh and cool!

Look who I found on my bed today. This lady’s called Sandy. And it’s not like I invited her onto my bed. But I guess it’s the nature of people like Sandy – they usually don’t care much about what other people think. They usually do what they want to do when they want to do it. And I guess, we real people have to learn to take these furry people the way they are – if we want to keep our lives as peaceful and quiet as they can.
