Poor Swarley died today. We were having an ammonia problem in the tank, so we moved the fish to a container with safer water yesterday. They seemed to improve, and we thought they were in the clear. Apparently not. When I got home from work he looked fine, then an hour later he was motionless on the bottom. Poor boyfriend has never had fish, and he was quite attached. We went out after classes and bought much larger tank with a filter and heater. Clearly he wants Fitz to live. Boyfriend also wants to get several more fish. I just wanted one fish in my gallon tank, and we're going to end up with a whole school. It's kind of adorable though.
The internship hunt is getting stressful. I have an interview for a position back home on Thursday morning. While not ideal, I thought it was a good option. Then, I was offered an interview at the health department here in town. I don't know if I'll have that interview before I have to say yes or no to the one back home. Furthermore, there is another position in local rural hospitals that would be paid and include travel expenses. I could live here in town, and be paid to make occasional site visits. Obviously that would be the number one choice, but I don't want to turn down a sure thing to wait for something that might not work out. I'm sure I'll have lots of competition for a paid spot. I should have just entered a program that requires a thesis instead. A couple hundred pages would be a breeze to finding an unpaid summer job.
