Epilogue

I can't believe it was an even 90 weeks...huh, anywho. So the Monday after graduation I was flying away again to the exotic location of....Lincoln, NE. Well, I'm from the mid-west, so you can imagine the chance to be back there when I saw the job post was tempting! I had my interview at the Lincoln Children's Zoo and they hired me on the spot! Everything went great and I think I'm really going to like it there! I will be caring for a string of animals including: Amur leopards, North American river otters, Chinese dwarf crocodiles, wallabys, and most importantly, Humboldt penguins. The penguins are to be the new star attraction for the zoo and they will be my responsibility to have ready for some amazing keeper talks. After some web searches, I think I'll be trying to break some new training ground with these very ADD birds, so we'll see how all this goes! My life is in an uproar right now trying to scramble to get myself out there. Hubby is unfortunately staying behind until he finds a job, but that shouldn't be long, I hope. Anyone wishing to see the success of an EATM grad should stop by the zoo and see me! The penguin exhibit won't open until maybe September, so come see me then!
