I'm still here...

You may think I dropped off the face of the planet or something, since I haven't posted in a while.  But this past week has been quite busy.  I'm taking a summer course at a zoo and learning all sorts of fascinating things, but it does take up quite a chunk of my days.  I'm learning so much though and it just reaffirms everything that I've been thinking about career-wise, which is a pretty cool feeling.  It's amazing what happens when you really find your niche.

But anyway...I'm not sure what the point of this post is, other than to let you know that I am still alive, even in the midst of this rainy season.  Perhaps I will dig up something to make this post meaningful...

...Well, I've been seeing and hearing and thinking a lot about bears this week because of my class, so maybe that will spark something.  The more I learn about them and read about them, the more I want to make them the major focus of my studies in zoology.  They are such magnificent creatures, full of power and mystery.  I've been reading a book about this guy who goes out into the woods and studies grizzlies and he talks about how humbling it is.  I feel like you would be closer to heaven out there.  It's definitely something I want to do someday.
