I've been checking in on this blog every once and a while and am sad to see that I have no followers :( oh well that's not a big deal. People can read without following, and I'm not writing this for the enjoyment of others. It's mostly a way to blow off a bit of steam. I've always liked the idea of someone reading the things that I read - so hopefully someone does happen on this eventually ;)


I've been doing a bit of research lately on this volunteer association that's based out of Africa. It looks so cool! I'd get to go and take care of lions. This would include things such as walking them through the Savannah, preparing the food, and assisting the head vets. It would be quite an amazing experience. Not to mention would look good on my resume should I continue on to vet school some day. Aside from that going to Africa would be so much fun!


A lot of my family has been pressuring me to take a couple years off and go traveling. (Funny how most people get pressured into school :P not me) After some thinking on this matter I've come to realize that the reason I do not want to travel is that you are always moving and there isn't one place that you can call "home." On this note, one of the things that most appeals to me about this trip is the fact that you stay in one place for the entire time.


The site also talks about the things that you can do in your free time. Stuff like swimming with elephants and going into town to hike. I'm so excited! Now I just need to converse with a rep from African Impact to see what time of year would be best to go. Also how long I should stay. I'm thinking six weeks but you don't want to overstay your welcome.

That's about all that's going on in my life right now. Also tomorrow I'm going shopping with Stacy. Get to check out the new section of Chinook that just opened and then catch a movie. Should be fun :)
