i think the reason i'm not really putting much energy into caring about grad school applications and my 1 acceptance/rejection letter is because really all i want to do is work on a wildlife foundation and raise baby tigers. for the last couple years i've been all like yeah social work! but i don't think i could handle a 9-5 monday-friday office

you just nailed everything that i've been feeling over the past few years! when i was halfway through the english program i took an anthropology course and realized how much i'd like to be outside digging up cool stuff. and traveling and incessantly watching animal planet makes me want to be around animals CONSTANTLY. i know how much you watch animal planet too. so i decided to take my year off to decide what i really want to do, but i think it's already too late to get a career involving science, unless i did another bachelor's in biology or something... which i don't want to have to do. i think the answer to our desires is to volunteer. but in order to have time to do that, you gotta land a good job first. which might be where our social work/publishing aspirations come in. bleh. who knows. i miss you.

p.s. does this mean you're gonna be home this summer??

yes it does, probably. i haven't gotten my letter from UW yet, but i don't know that even if i get in that i'll go out there. i eventually want to move out west somewhere though, but maybe not just yet. maybe you and i can get good jobs first and then move out together to work with cute animals all day long.
miss you lots. i think i might be home next weekend for a little bit. we'll see.
