My life has become incredibly boring in the past 2 weeks.

After I had mouth surgery, I was on a bunch of pain medicine that basically melted my brain. It was quite difficult to do anything but sleep. :( that was lame.

So now, I am in no pain, and I can really do whatever I want...but I don't. Lately, my days have consisted of learning as much as I can about the US government (for an online class) and studying animals. I've had the desire to be a zoologist since I was able to think about that kind of stuff. Then, when it came time to really think about what my future looks like, I felt like I needed to come up with an idea that might please people more than hanging out with some sweet animals all the time. So, I kind of picked a random job that sounded kind of cool (and I might like) but really I just said it all the time to make people (mostly my parents) happy.

After going to the Amazon, and seeing lots of animals (especially at the zoo) and reading Life of Pi (you should read it, if you haven't) , I remembered how much I like animals. So for the past week, I have been trying to read all the books on animals from the library. Well, I was only going to read 2, but I couldn't stop. So, I like animals....but doesn't everybody? doesn't everybody dream about being a dolphin trainer? about being around animals all the time?

so you know...work in a refugee camp or a zoo? huh...kind of similar, kind of. whatever.

I don't what I am going to do with the rest of my life, but at least I know how I am going to be living it.
