Its been a while...
So I haven't updated this thing in like five years. Alot has happened since I last posted, here is a short recap:
Soon after my last entry I finally went to Europe. Ironically France was a disappointment, but Belgium was unbelievable. I got my heart broken... well I guess destroyed would be more accurate. I lost myself in a world of intoxication for about a year and a half. Formed some life changing relationships with people I hope to know for the rest of my life. I struggled with my identity, changed from an art and design major to a zoology major. Lost some important people in my life, gained even more. met some of the most interesting and wonderful people ever. Grew very fond of birds. Graduated college and left marquette with a heavy heart. Got a job with the San Diego Zoo Conservation and Research Center working on San Clemente Island. I work with captive san clemente loggerhead shrikes. I've been out here for almost a month. It has been a hard transition, coming out here, but things are looking up. I can't say that I have a better idea of who I am now than I did five years ago, I can say that I am more comfortable with the uncertainty though. Looking back on my old journal entries makes me feel very nostalgic. It makes me long for things I can't have and it makes me wish that some things never happened. But oh well, such is life. I couldn't imagine being where I am now when I wrote those entries, so who knows what lays ahead of me in the future. I don't even know who goes on this thing anymore, or if I will after this for that matter. It is lonely out here. I am meeting people, but I guess it is just a transitionary part of my life right now that makes me nostalgic of everybody that I have left behind. Being homeless 12 days out of the month in San Diego is miserable, I don't enjoy living out of hostels, but that is going to change in a couple months. Its weird having a full time adult job. I guess it really hasn't set in all the way yet.
Anyway, time to go eat some amazing mexican food. Maybe I will be back, maybe I'm just passing though. hard to say at this point.
