Frustrated

Remember that mood I described yesterday? Yea, it only got worse today... And the I went to fight. Never fight when you are in that sort of mood. Especially when you are new to the sport. And have armor that doesn't fit right. And are already feeling tired and sick. I am so frustrated with how easily I got tired and how flustered I got, especially when I was fighting Dayen. I should be tougher than that. I should be able to relax and just enjoy and learn. I'm sick of being so irritable. And I'm sick of Mom and Caitlin commenting on how irritable I am, and asking me what's wrong... I don't know! I guess I'm simply stressed. Finances suck right now with Mom not working. I'm not getting the grades in school that I want to be getting. I'm gaining weight. I don't know what excact situation my job at the zoo is in. I haven't been sleeping well. I'm lonely. Have I whined enough yet? I can't fix these things right now! So how do I fix this mood I'm in? How do I relax?

Speaking of stress... Tomorrow at 8:15 I'm taking my drivers test... Wish me luck. I'll do fine on the driving portion I'm sure. I have about a 70% chance of passing manueverability. As I said, wish me luck... Having my liscence would really take a weight off my back.

Sigh, well hugzzzzzzzz...

From a news article I read about crazy jobs.

Whether you're a dolphin trainer or a dog-walker, a career with animals always has the potential to be unique and exciting. Take Sophie Bean, who calls herself an "animal behaviorist," specializing in parrot health. Believe it or not, animals have emotions too. Bean claims that many factors may influence the mood of your pet parrot, including "the position of their cage, the lighting of the room, the sounds around them, and the temperature of their environment." It is true that parrots can be extremely intelligent creatures. The African Grey, for example, is able to reason at a level equal to that of a three year-old child. Just like people, these birds can become quite upset or disturbed. This could require the help of a behaviorist like Bean to set them back on track. So stop assuming that your parrot likes watching Animal Planet or prefers that you keep your house as hot as the Sahara. Only a behaviorist can tell what your pet is really thinking.

Keep heart! Things will work out!
-A.
