I can do that I rarely do because I have to have a certain amount of time accumulated by the end of a 5 week term and it doesn't leave much room for play BUT I have some hours "banked" that I can use for whatever I please

Hurrah!
Have a rest.
You deserve it.

I'm taking a program for xray I love it so much! I'm hoping to graduate and then move on to radiation therapy.

Neat! What confusing rules, though.

Any more questions, father of Tidgy?

Who can tell me what a sea lamprey is, and how it came to be an invasive species in the Great Lakes?

I know a sea lamprey is a primitive type of jawless fish, even more basic than sharks in some respects, they are parasites that suck the blood of their prey with a round, jawless mouth ringed with teeth.
I know nothing of why they are in the Great Lakes, but http://www.umesc.usgs.gov/invasive_species/sea_lamprey.html
may help explain.
Interesting.

I know they're an eel type of fish with lots of teeth that are in like a swirl pattern but I have no idea how they came to be invasive

Not eel, no, no, no.
Look a bit like eels, but not related.(distantly).

I watched a documentary last night

Anone else?

I can give you a very accurate taxonomy if you like, but I don't know about the invasive bit.

There are. The board that certifies us states that we can only "work" (work includes actual classroom time AND clinical time) 40 hours a week. And we can only work up to 10 hours a day. We HAVE to go to class 2 times a week and clinic 3 times a week. You can only miss 20% of either class or clinical before you're excused from the program. So however many extra hours we can bank is dependent on how many classes we have to take.
Very confusing stuff. Took me months to get it straight.

Well, I think you've explained it splendidly.

How about the other prominent invasive species in Lake Erie?
(It's not a fish )

I could cheat and google, but I won't, is it a frog ?

That's an indirect kill, though... suppose it still counts.

It does here.

Zebra mussles

Entered through canals and the outpour of water from sea-going vessels

Not an Ostrich? I don't think that's an actual thing.

In 14th place and getting 2 points to carry over to the end of the year is.
@JoesMum
thanks for your input, but you've vanished recently, hoping all's well in your world.

I only knew because they're invasive in MN also and for some reason I spent time learning about Minnesota's invasive species. I think it started by reading something about worms (also invasive in MN)

Thanks, I will google and learn.

Correct.
A myth started by the Roman Pliny the Elder and still continuing to this day.
They do lower their heads to ground level and look around and with a mirage effect it looks like they've buried their heads,but they never do.
