So, yeah life is good. I had an amazing experience in Turkey. ITs such a dynamic and interesting country, Istanbul is filled with new smells, colors, religions, sounds, tastes, oh man it was great. It was such a clash of east and west of muslim and christian, it was amazing. The conference was great, the silver foxxx and I had a great time.
I am back now. With no tickets to fly anywhere; which is probably good, I havent stopped moving in a year in a half. And I am back at the zoo researching now. And I start as a keeper 2 days a week next week, and I am sooooo fucking excited to get back in there and work my little butt off. Just two days cause I should be working on my masters thesis full time and I am still getting paid by the EU to do it!! I worked hard at school, but not in the way I work at the zoo. I am so excited.
And I am so happy. Life has treated me well, I cant complain. I like who I have/am becoming as a person. I love chimps, I love that I set my mind to something and I do it. I love that I just up and got a masters in Europe, and I love that I am back with the chimps and everyone at the zoo is happy to have me back. It makes me feel good. I hope this feeling lasts!
Ok I am going to an art auction where they are selling art made by animals to raise money for the American Assosiation of Zookeepers.
Oh and the silver foxxxes friend is a curator at the NATIONAL ART MUSEUM (he is GerMAN) and he and I are going to hangout, I am excited! He seems very smart and fun, and its good to have friends in redick high places like this dude. We are goign to the zoo cause thankfully he does not want to talk about art, and I do not want to hear about art, as I am not big into art! So we are going to talk about animals! WOOT!!!
HOpe all is well me loverlies!
OH AND THE WEATHER IS GREAT HERE, perfect fall. A touch of crispness in the air and the leaves are fiery orange and the candy corn is flowing (what I missed most about being in Europe)..oh and my bday is coming up!
