Squirrels :)

This week, I almost completed my goal of touching a squirrel. I was on my way to class and stopped to watch two squirrels chase each other around a tree. When they slowed down and were just chilling next to the tree, I crouched down and pretended to have food in my hand. The one squirrel slowly zigzagged towards me, thinking I was about to feed it. It was only a few inches away from me, when a girl walked past me and the squirrel got scared and ran back up the tree. You cannot imagine my disappointment. I have dreamed of petting / domesticating a squirrel (or a rabbit) the entire time I've been here. I have chased an unbelievable amount of rabbits around Pollock, have teamed up with three of my friends and tried to corner one, but it never works out. This time, I actually got so close to one of my dreams, but of course it failed yet again.

I have recently developed an obsession for collegeacb.com, although it is not as strong of an obsession as the one I have for squirrels. I recently found a post discussing Penn State wildlife. In case you don't spend any time on this website, pretty much every other post is about fraternity and sorority rankings, which are organized into tiers. This one, however, focused on the tiers of Penn State wildlife. I don't remember the specifics of it, but what I do remember is that both squirrels and rabbits made it in the top 2 tiers, which of course made me very happy. Chipmunks (they're back, by the way!!!!!) ranked lower than I would have thought, but I don't care about them as much anyway.

I hope this post doesn't seem ridiculous. My obsession is pretty legitimate and I think I even mentioned in one of my earlier blogs that I will most likely end up talking about squirrels at one point. Furthermore, some of the things I have found on campus are just as ridiculous as this post, so hopefully this is not too weird for you readers,
