I was feeling really down earlier about my money situation - I skipped class, and was lying in bed half-napping and half-freaking out, when Chase came in the room and said "I have something for you!". Suddenly, he dropped the tiniest little kitten onto my bed! It was like taking a shot of pure sunshine. She snuggled and cuddled me and made me feel sooo good! This little kitty is the most affectionate kitten I've ever met in my life, and she loves to fall asleep on my bed and in my arms. I've only known her for about 3 hours, and my RA is going to flip out and kill me when he finds out, but I absolutely adore her and I want to bring her back to America so badly. I sound insane, but if you saw how lovey-dovey she was, you'd go crazy too.

This is how I feel now:



I'm going to call Delta's International Pet Line tonight and see what they say. It's a long shot, but it doesn't hurt to ask. If I can't keep her, her family is living inside of my dorm building, so I can give her back to her family. But she's a kitty! And she likes to sleep in my bed with me awwwwwwww. She has a tuxedo just like Ray, so I'm sure they'd have International Friendship if they met. And by marrying him, she can get her kitty green card! Yay! Her name is a source of argument because I keep insisting that she should have a Russian name (Sasha? Katya? Koshka, the Russian word for female cat?) but Margaret keeps insisting Veronica or Kathy. I hate the name Kathy, it reminds me of that horrible comic with that fat woman always screaming about shoes. Veronica is tolerable, but still if I adopt her, I'm choosing the name. And if she turns out male, his name will be Skrut -- it's the name of a gnome from a story we read in class, and sort of a silly inside joke. Or Misha, short for Mikhail. Or Pushkin, after the author. We'll see! I just hope that if I am able to bring her back, that it's not expensive, or that I could pay Delta or the US or whoever at a later date. Gosh, kittens make me retarded.

Also, my roommate lent me $40 and saved my life.
