On the Hunt!
Well. It took me a few years (6.5 to be exact) but I finally graduated from college. And I only switched majors twice, and went through 3 different schools! Admittedly, I did get my AS during those years, so I guess that counts for something...right?
As I am writing here, most of my friends are on their way back to school. My little brother went ( Read more... ) -

Holy crap...in 5 1/2 weeks, after 6 1/2 years, I'll finally be graduating from college. Ack. -
I live in Maine...
...aka "State where it snows a LOT". I don't know the exact amount, but in some areas of campus, I can no longer see over the snow piles. Granted, these are from the plows, but even in the non-plowed areas, it is not a good idea to go walking because you will be eaten by the snow monster and never be seen again.
I was supposed to take the car into ( Read more... ) -
Remember what I said last time...
...about this summer and how I was gonna work with lions and tigers and giraffes and cool stuff like that? Yeah. ignore that. I just got bumped to the fucking Children's Zoo. Now I get to work with ducks, goats, sheep, and...wait for it...CHICKENS! Oh boy! I *can't* wait. Ugh. If I hadn't already put down a security deposit on my apartment, I'd be ( Read more... ) -
Later Unity College, Helllllo Boston!
So it is the end of the semester here at Unity once again. I think I have passed all my courses, though not as spectacularly as I would have liked...but Comparative Animal Physiology was just a bitch and as for North American Wildlife Identification...well I just don't memorize pictures very well. But all that is done with and now I am packing up ( Read more... ) -

Soooo....as I am no longer working at the CNM, I am free to post more of my little rants. You may recall the first one was about our quail exhibit. This one focuses on the aspect of animal care. The CNM has approximately 80 animals on the floor and anywhere between 20-40 animals on reserve in the back. When I say animals, by the way, I mean small ( Read more... ) -

So I get a lot of questions about my job from people, which is understandable given where I work. Recently, over on one of my other sites, I started a little journal about the various aspects of my job and the things I encounter every day. I thought I might share it over here with you as well. Hopefully, I'll be posting more and more as time goes ( Read more... ) -
at work...
This is some of what I do at work. And yes, that is a chicken on my shoulder. Chickens are all the rage this year; they're this year's parrot. Didn't you know?

Writer's Block: Lights Out
During a hurrican in the 2005/2006 academic year, my dorm's power was knocked out. Our bathrooms were in the center of the building, which meant no windows, just artifical light. So, with no power, we were forced to shower by the romantic light of glowsticks...our school (UNCW) had stockpiled a bajillion glowsticks since we are located on the NC ( Read more... )
