#baby tortoises ^^ #good news
There hadn’t been one single baby tortoise sighting in more than a century on the Galapagos Island of Pinzon, until a small group of the tiny, shelled youngsters were spotted this year.
The recent births are helping to pull the critically endangered animals back from the brink of extinction after they were nearly laid to waste as a result of human activity.
This is huge news for a species that has been struggling to survive for a century, relying on humans raising young tortoises bred in captivity until they are large enough to not fall prey to rats and predators.
Some horse pictures for you, @missbamf
We had great weather today, so I was able to take some pictures of Endor, the stable owner’s horse. This is the horse, I’m allowed to ride whenever I want to. He’s a little rascal sometimes, but also really sweet.
Trank you so much for telling me all of this! I'm actually really happy with my decision. Right now I'm in my third semester of Japanese studies. At my university we are required to pass our Japanese language courses by a certain time in our studies (especially the first one) and I've come to realize that I would just need more time to really learn this language than I have at University. I'm still going to keep studying Japanese but just for myself and with the help of a friend of mine, but it's really not going to work out for me as a subject to study at University. So that's basically why I've decided that a change was necessary, even when some people in my life (for example my father) don't understand at all that sometimes the first thing you choose to do may not be the right thing for you in the end.
I'm sooooo happy for you for passing those tests! Great job ^^ I'm still really far away from graduating university, especially since I decided to change my subjects with the beginning of my next summer semester. So I'm always really excited for people who've made it through their studies because it's kind of a sign for me that I, too, will eventually get through it. :D
Thank you very much, and you know what?! I spent and wasted three years at a university pursuing a degree that I just couldn’t get. I ended switching completely and starting over with court reporting. Honestly, I feel a lot of people switch their degree plans. Sometimes what you thought you wanted to do at 18 isn’t what you feel like doing anymore at 21. Don’t feel bad at all for changing things. Ultimately what matters is that you’re happy doing what you’re doing. And if it’s what you WANT to do, then do the shit out of it. You know, one of my court reporting mentors said she did so bad in court reporting school that her teacher told her to give up and find something else to do, that she was wasting her time, not learning the skill fast enough. And guess what, she ignored that teacher and kept at it, and she graduated and ended up becoming the president of the Texas Court Reporter’s Association, which are the people who administer the CSR examination. So she took longer than some, she ended up being bad ass anyway :)
