What's next?

I keep meaning to post but getting swept away by life. I cannot believe that we are more then halfway through August already! Before I know it, it will the end of October and the internship will be over. Everyone keeps asking me, what's next? For once in my life, I honestly don't know. I am going to look around a bit out here and see if there is something that can keep me for a bit. I was feeling very strongly about this but now I am wavering. I very much dislike where I am living. My house mates are annoying and inconsiderate and it is such a long commute to the zoo. Plus they are raising my rent. Sigh. So relocation to a more pleasing place would be necessary. I need to save money for next year's trip to Ecuador and hopefully Kenya though and I cannot help but think that the best place to do that would be back in Ohio. Permit me to be emo here for a second as I muse that I feel like I no longer have a home. I quite belong out here but neither can I see myself being satisfied with settling back in Medina... I don't understand the empty ache inside myself and I am at a loss as to how I can soothe it. Dawn is moving back home tomorrow and with her goes any semblance of a close friend out here. Sure, I have a good time hanging out with Jennifer and the handful of volunteers that go out, but I always feel like I am on the edge of things. Ah well, the good news is they keep me busy enough that I hardly have time to notice. I am currently working a 7 day stint while Jennifer is in Brazil. 60 hours + a week, factor in at least 2 hours commute time a day, and you get one worn out Hannah! But I still love it. The monkeys recapture my heart everyday without fail. Being a part of this program fills me with inspiration that it is possible to save them. It can be done. And so I move forward....

Huggles!
