Anyone else a college student?

One positive side when it comes to the weight of school work crashing down upon my head: I get to spend more time handling my snakes ((Not that they don't get handled when the semester is over!)). But when I sit and do homework and prepare presentations and write reports for hours, they're good company. Its just longer periods of time spent with them when the semester isn't in session and I'm working 24/7.

Makes me happy

Not that any of you care. Just had to post.. It was a good thought when I started thinking about the stress of what is ALREADY due. Its just a bit of randomness for you :P

Haha, I actually do much the same thing with mine when I do school work at home. It helps me to take breaks inbetween, and what better way to take a break than to do it than to put a snake back in its enclosure, clean it, change the water, and then take out someone else?

I do the same thing with mine. Snakes are good company since they'll just hang out. It makes the work a little less unpleasant.
