I guess it's been a little while...

Well, I guess it's been a little while since I've written anything in here. No sick tigers right now, or any other good excuse for why I've been neglecting my journal, but i guess it doesn't much matter. Just been busy trying to get the new year off to a good start both at work and around my house. It's kinda hard though when you have to say goodbye to people right after the holidays (or anytime for that matter...) Three of our recent graduates from the zoo school are getting ready to move on to their respective first jobs in the field, and it's always exciting, but also the end of yet another mini-era in Cat Tales History. But all endings frong fresh beginnings as well... We're getting ready to move some cats around to new exhibits, start thinking about some of the landscaping changes we might be able to do even before spring is really here. Feels like lots of excitment around the corner, and we just had 5 new students start a week and a half ago, so we have new energy and a few extra bodies to help in the neverending workload. I'm also energized by a very entertaining debate I took part in last night between my roommate and I and a new student who just moved up from Texas. (I almost didn't capitalize it, which isn't good with any state name, but especially that one. They would probably prefer it was always writen as TEXAS!! :) Anyhow, none of us ever got heated over the subjects but there were very different viewpoints on things like religion and using guns to maintain control. I learned a lot from it though, like the fact that they never have any school shootings in Texas because if some kid started shooting other students, the teacher would just pull out from behind the desk and "Cap Him" before they could do much damage. I guess there's always more than one solution to any problem right? I'm just glad the conversation never turned to politics! We'll have to save that one for later... Well, I guess I don't have too much more to write at the moment, so I should try to get to sleep early for another adventurous week at work!
