Epiphany
Epiphany. Oh I had one today. I had one once before. When something clicks and you get this sense of calm and you know what youre going to, and its amazing.
I have had two goals in life:
1. work with monkeys.
2. live in Europe.
I can check those off. And I was wondering what is the next goal? I am so goal oriented.
I dont want to be a linguisit, I want my Phd but not in linguistics. And I miss having primates in my life, but I cant be a zookeeper. I need to more then that. I wanted to do primate linguistics PhD but nothing like that exists.
OR SO I THOUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! And then I found the most amazing program and its pretty much brand new (albeit in FUCKING IOWA...but I dont give a shit) do LINGUISTIC RESEARCH (NON INVASIVE AND AT A SANCTUARY WITH AMAZING FACILITIES) ON GREAT APES! I mean its like the puzzle pieces fit together. And I said outloud..
"There you are...Ive been looking for you" and I know this is what I want. I feel like this is the feeling I am going to get when I meet the many I marry. A calm sense of knowing.
And I am a fucking ideal candidate. I emailed them...and I cant wait to hear back from them. I really dont mean to toot my own horn, but this is what I have been working towards...since, well honestly, forever. And they would be a fool to not want me. Especially since its a new program, I could really do great things. I will do really great things.
I feel like this is so right. Well it may a little premature...but like I said I had this sort of epiphany before, and that was right too.
But yeah. School is great. Europe is great. I am having so much fun.
I am going to hangout with a friend of mine who moved to Berlin to do his painting (from Baltimore) next week and we are going to go to Prague...and then in NOv I am going to see Ila in Norway. I am excited! Oh I have the week off, that is why I am going all around.
And I have a pumpkin candle (searched Europe over for it) and it smells nice.
And I just watched August Rush and it was such a wonderful movie.
I am happy. And excited. And content. And know I can do amazing things at the Great Ape Trust, I mean, ground breaking linguistic research. Wow. It blows my mind.
How are you guys???????
