J-Lo

Because having a job and trying to finish my masters degree, along with attempts to maintain important relationships and stay sane was not enough responsibility in my life, enter Jack Lowell, aka J-Lo.

He was given to me by a coworker, and now lives on my desk. As this is my first pet, I have spent far too much time researching everything about betta fish: when to feed them, how much to feed them, when to clean their bowls, etc. As this weekend was my first time away from him for longer than a day, I was pretty sure I was going to have done something wrong and walk in to a dead fish this morning. I may have dreamed had nightmares about it. But somehow he survived.

If this is how I am with a fish, who knows how I will be when I have kids.
