Journal #25 : : Summer and College Anticipation

I have a little less than eight weeks of summer left and have been enjoying every moment of it.  As my last journal previously stated, I have an internship at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo at Burnet Park in Syracuse, NY.  I've been enjoying every minute of it and get to work with some awesome people and unique animals.  My favorites to work with are probably the siamangs, patas monkeys, lemurs, and fossa. I will hopefully get around to uploading more pictures sooner rather than later.  I've also been working at my other jobs caring for cats and dogs, and now horses! Very excited, but it's been a difficult summer...we've lost some very special animals and the losses keep coming.  

With working seven day weeks, I don't get too many breaks, but I have had four days off already and look forward to my week off at the end of this month.  My family and I are going camping in the Adirondacks.

Also, looking forward to returning to college in Buffalo for my sophomore year.  I've already ordered books for a majority of my classes (13 books for my one class...ewww).  Organic chemistry looks scarier, but I'm hoping it's easier than it looks Hopefully it'll all be well worth it.  

And might I say, I'm looking forward to this new Harry Potter movie that will be coming out on July 15.  I already have my midnight tickets and am currently rereading the last book!

If anyone ever has any questions about what I've done while working with animals or otherwise, you are always welcome to leave a comment or note me.
