Stunned

I have amazing news! I got the internship at the National Zoo. I am still numb from the news, I can't believe I got it! They want me there by the 20th so I have to find a place to live and get out there in 2 weeks. I am shocked, terrified, and sooo excited! I will miss everyone, I fully expect people to visit me or it will be a very lonely 6 months. It will be easier since Dawn is planning on moving with me for the summer and then we will go from there.

I will be coordinating the Golden Lion Tamarin Free Range Program. This means setting up the exhibit, overseeing the release of the radio collared family of 6 into the zoo, overseeing volunteers who will do daily behavioral research, and weekly write ups about the tamarins' activities. I will also be working in the small mammal house and possibly other areas of the zoo. This is a famous program and I am stunned that I will get to be a part of it. I am in disbelief that I managed to snag such a highly competitive position.

Eeeeeeeee! I am so excited! Off to look for an apartment.
Huggles!
