hamsters never learn. he likes to climb on top of his wheel and then slides off it, and every time he does that, he is putting himself into the risk of having his leg caught to the bars of the cage. i saved him once and it's easy for us because we know all we have to do is to lift him up a little and his leg will just free itself. but he is small, and he doesnt know the science of gravity. and he keeps doing it and doing it and great, now he is crippled. he must have squealed last night but I didnt hear him and thank goodness i woke up early today. the situation could have been way worse. right now i'm waiting for the clinic to open. he probably needs an x-ray. and im going to miss my classes. i've just emailed one of my prof explaining the situation and i think most people would just think that my reason is really lame. some might laugh after reading that email even. like what, you woke up and its leg got caught? a hamster deserves so much of your attention? i had half the mind to tell her it's a dog or something, but why should my hamster deserve any less attention just because it's small (and cheap)?

now i know why my mom never fails to take urgent leave whenever i'm sick and stays up all night to change my towels. cos i really matters. 

it might sound odd, but i got an inkling of the importance of having 2 parent.
