That post deserves to stand on its own.

I loved the whole experience of working in the zoo (eventhough I still find it abit difficult to scoop poop), the fact that I am surrounded by people who are equally passionate (or more) about animals as I am! It's exhilarating. It's definitely not something I can get elsewhere in the entire world! I don't get dissed about the wonders of working in the zoo, I don't have to repeat myself when I have to answer the questions of 'why Zoology?' and reminding people that vets and zoologist are two completely different job scopes.

Plus and negatives, really. I just rather not know anything that has to do with politics in any way possible. But it's inevitable and it's something I have to learn to accept and deal with.

Since I've failed my physiology unit, I really am questioning my past self for being silly. Yet at the same time I understand why I brought myself here. But really, failing isn't worth anything. If at all, I did learn that I regret pushing myself into physiology when I had close to zero interest in. :X

Okay. I'm tired.

New semester. I've got to piece myself together to survive this "final" semester.

Short term goal (within 2014):
- Graduate uni.

Short term goal (by end of 2015):
- At least one more internship in another zoo.
- Temporary Residence.
- First job.

Semi long term goal (within next 5 years):
- Get a job that pays moderately.
(Zoo or air stewardess)

Long term goal (hopefully within 8 years):
- Masters at James Cook
- Assistant Researcher

The power of being 21.

I feel like thrash talking. But at the same time I know that it's not good to do so. Yet it itches me so bad.

"The bird house was the most horrible place I've ever worked in. I don't know what kind of people they are. They seemed really snobbish when I was there and weren't friendly like every other sections I've worked in. They all look as if I owe them something when I am actually helping them with their work, especially that one guy.

Oh ya, I only have one day in each sections because of my allergy. I don't know what it is, but it makes me itch really bad. So now I am spending most of my time in the office. Yeah, I can't spend too long with the animals, this allergy is really bad."

I reworded them in my best ability in depicting what she looked like while telling me those things. Lol. Her face. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.. where do I begin?

I absolutely loved the bird house. I thought everyone there was really friendly and easy going. Everyone there jokes with each other once in a while. Also this guy that she mentioned, happened to be my favorite out of everyone in this section. Being there, I sort of understood how she got that cold feeling from them. It takes time to feel comfortable in a new place, maybe she just happened to step in their section at a wrong time. Plus the fact that they had quite a packed schedule, they would be rushing and focused alot on their work. I guess I knew when to ask certain questions at appropriate times to allow them to open up a little more which made it a little easier for me to settle in here.

The itch. I would assume its the same itch I get almost everyday. It was really itchy, but I knew what it was and I just bared with it. They were mosquito bites. Its the lush greenery of this zoo which is so similar to a forest that the absence of mosquitoes would feel out of place. I learned that wearing long sleeves was the best solution. Leaving any skin bare will mean itch for the entire day. It's really sad to know that she is happy working in the office than actually working out in the field doing hard work. What a waste.
