My roommate and I have been trying to keep things alive in our room this year. It is turning out to be quite the challenge. You wouldn't think it would be so hard to water/feed something but turns out it is. In the beginning of the year we carefully (or not so carefully) nurtured a mint plant named Franklin but to our dismay, he bit the dust and we reverently spread his remains around a tree.
Then we attempted raising Triops. They are a sea monkey-ish aquatic creature that start from eggs, hatch, grow, and then lay their own eggs. They were a lot of fun and it was extremely exciting to watch them hatch and grow. They are now all deceased but they actually lived longer than their proposed life span.

Here is their lovely home |
| If you look very closely you can see a mini Triop. It's the little white speck thingy. |
And here are grown up Triops. Their names are Jimmy and Josie <3
Now we are growing grass. It has grown very swiftly and lusciously. Hopefully he will continue to grow as well as he has so far. Oh, and his name is Gilbert.
Here he is with his long scraggly hair. Stephanie and I decided that he needed a trim.
This is after we gave him a lovely flat top.
And then we gave Gilbert a bow!
How cute is he!!!
