Birthday and Stuff.

So My camera as it turns out, did get damaged in the fire and doesnt work, so i have to get a new one, so i havent been able to take any pictures of the burnt room really.
We've been cleaning it up pretty good, and its almost empty now.

Other than that, my birthday is on friday. Ihave one class that day, my piano class, and i get out around 12:30. Then CJ and I are going to head to the zoo for the day. I am pretty excited, I like my piano class, I love the zoo, and spending time with CJ, so this should be awesome.

Saturday CJ's family is all getting together for his (belated) birthday party, and i guess some for me too? His family always gets together for birthdays and such. Saturday night should be good too, a bunch of our friends are coming over to have a party for my birthday.

Not much else has really been happening, just school and everything. Im taking a piano class, a 'classic movies' class, criminal behavior, constructed self (freshman inquiry) and a mentor session with it.
I like mopst of my classes, but i hate my movie class. its at 6 to 9:30 on wednesdays, and all we do is watch these boring silent movies that i hate, and then you have to write a paper on it. LAME.
My other classes are pretty good though.

I also have an appointment to give blood on february 4th, and i should be switching to a new dorm soon!!

:D

Fire!

Ok, so as alot of you have heard, yes, cj's house caught on fire.
for those who havent heard the story yet ill tell it, and for those who have, they'll be more info as well.

The Story:
cj and i went to petco last friday night. we were having a good ol time, and thought, instead of just getting a new fishtank, lets get a lizard.
so we got a small anole lizard like bob, the one that i used to have. We picked out the lizard, and asked one of the employees to help us pick out the rest of tghe equiptment. We got a plastic 'critter cage' bit enough for him to be comortable, but still small enough to fit in his room. we ended up setting it on his big huge computer desk in his room.
we also got a small heating lamp to keep him warm, as well as the crickets to feed him.
So...
we got home, set it all up, and all was good. we left for dinner to amigos, and then came back and set everything up further, making the desk look nice and clearing our things off of it, so we could fit both the lizard, and the fish tank on there so it would look nice. we left the room.
We played guitar hero world tour for a while with Nick, Becca, Jake, Casey, Jesse, and Erin.
cj went back to the room to check on the lizard. all was fine. he left the room.
so, 20 minutes later, my feet were cold, so i headed back to the room to get my slippers, i opened the door and the room was in flames and engulfed with smoke.
i ran into his parents room saying "the room is on fire!" so they went and got the fire extinguisher, and put it out. the whole house filled with smoke and all the kitties were scared. as for the lizard, well im sure he is dead.

so, heres the updates...
nothing expensive, important or sentimental got burnt. The damage origionally consisted of the burnt desk, curtains, broken window from the heat, as well as the ceiling and walls being blackened, and the paint was bubbling from the heat, and everything in the entire room is now covered in ash and soot, and is stinky.
The insurance people came today to take a look to see the damages and all that, and what his parents thought was around 2000 dollars in damage, ended up being about 7800. as it turns out, they have to replace the whole back wall in their room. The insurance is covering all costs, we just have to clean everything out of the room and wipe it off/wash it.
i hope its done soon!
ill have some pictures of the burnt room up soon. ill take some pics and post them by next week.

were just glad i went in there and found it when i did, because if i had waited much longer the whole house could have caught.
everyone is ok though :)
