I'm also auditioning for one of the best acapella groups on my campus called Tone Def, so hopefully everything goes smoothly! I think I'm going to sing either At Last by Etta James or Stay by Rihanna as my solo piece

And congrats Roxanne!
Congrats Katie!

And back to the panda cub - IT'S A BOY! And the other half of the National Zoo's panda pair - Tian Tian, is the father. The cub is doing very well and gaining lots of weight. He's also getting furrier, so we should have some really cute pictures soon!
That's wonderful!

Aw, can't wait for the panda pictures!

I remember a few years ago there were triplet goats at work...which isn't super uncommon, but the one was really tiny and weak. I spent three nights at work sleeping outside of his pen to make sure to feed him every few hours - I had to milk his mother and feed him because she wouldn't stand for him, and his brother and sister didn't let him sleep by them so he ended up curled up in my jacket for warmth. After three days, he got stronger and could walk around, his siblings let him sleep with them and his mother started caring for him, but after all that, we found out he had an underdeveloped digestive tract and wouldn't ever get any stronger than he was, so we had to put him down. That was a really rough day since I'd been with him round the clock since he was born and I was really feeling good about pulling him through...then all of a sudden all the work and time I put in (plus I got attached to him) didn't matter.

Yes, it did matter. You had no control over the fact that he had an underdeveloped digestive tract, but for the short time he lived his life, he felt safe, warm, and cared for, not abandoned and alone.

Giving care to any creature doesn't ever "not matter", regardless of the outcome. Your frustration is understandable, but don't ever think your time or effort were wasted.

^Yes, what they said. Caring for another creature always matters.

Yeah, I know, but they were going to put him down a few hours after he was born, and I said no, give him to me, I'd get him going. He did have a couple happy days, but I can't help but think it would have been better to just euthanize him that first day.

This was him, I only had a couple pictures.

awww....look at that sweet little face!

You can't beat yourself up for the decision you made. You didn't know about his digestive problem right at birth, so you made the decision that seemed best at that time.

So I just finished watching the new Pixar/Disney movie "Inside Out" and it's soooo good! Has anybody else watched it?

No, I haven't, but the Scorpion cast continually referencing it on Instagram is making me want to.

You should, it's really good It was really interesting to me personally because it had to do with the human mind and psychology, which is what I will be studying at university

I saw it twice! It was so well done, excellent concept and executed perfectly. It's Oscar material I'm sure. And this from someone who has a 4 year Psych degree and years of experience watching animated films.

Yes! Definitively Oscar-worthy

Seeing this makes me really excited for my psychology courses at uni!

I saw Inside Out in theaters! Agree with everyone else that it's really well done.
