  First, the moment you all have been waiting for, Phillip has been selected for orders to the USS Germantown (LSD 42) home ported in San Diego, California. Okay, so we do not know exactly when yet (probably February), but at least we know where. I knew you would want to know that first. Here is a picture of the USS Germantown and I have added a link to their ship website to my links to the right of this.
I am so excited! I get to get out of this place! urlLink USS Germantown (LSD 42) Picture from www.navy.mil&nbsp; urlLink Well, I took a mythology test last night about Norse (Viking) Mythology. Once again, we could bring a cheat sheet, so once again it was easy. Now we have started on the mythology of India. I still have to finish my midterm for history by Friday. I still have not got to the store to pick up my pictures or get the whipped cream. I had better do that soon before the strawberries get yucky. Well, I have nothing planned for today except the inevitable studying and midterms. My friend Trish is doing her finals this week. She took some classes in the mid-spring quarter that are ending this week. That is it for today. Tomorrow is the last day for pet week so get your pictures and things to me soon.
In addition, as we continue here on pet week, here are some pictures of dream pets. urlLink My sister said she always wanted one of these Jack Russell Terriers. urlLink My sister also said he always wanted a pug. urlLink And for some reason Sarah says she wants a monkey. urlLink I want to get one of these, a dachshund. I'll name it Oscar Meyer. Or maybe Dodger Dog. (Picture from www.angelfire.com/ar/carenuff.jpg)&nbsp; urlLink How Old Is Your Dog? Contrary to popular belief, after the first year of life, a dog is equivalent to 16 human years. After two years, they are equivalent to a 24 year old, at 3 years a 30 year old, and each year after, add 5 human years to determine your dog's age. (Taken from www.akc.org)
