A Mixed Blessing

Well, my plans for the summer have fallen into place. You may be relieved to hear that I will not be going anywhere. Apparently the animal behavior manager at Toledo zoo never got my application despite the volunteer coordinator assuring me on multiple occasions that he had passed it on. I am mildly disappointed but in truth, I think it may be for the best. I love show staff, and Jim made it very clear that he is ecstatic to have me back. I have a nice raise and will actually get back pay for the raise for the past two months. I start back onto show staff on April 1rst. This also means that I can follow up with the research manager at Cleveland about doing a behavioral study for my senior honors project. Basically I will be doing the same thing I would have been doing in Toledo but without having to go so far away for it.

And also... Never fear Rausumea! I get to stay and play all summer!

It has been a very long day. I feel... really crappy all of the sudden... Dizzy and disconnected. I think I am going to go pass out.
