Time for a New Job

     I loved working with animals at the wildlife clinic so much that I have decided to go into Zoology.
Wait a sec, the postman just got here with delivery from my community college, maybe it's that environmental associates I worked my butt off for? NOPE! It's a certificate in liberal arts that I didn't even ask for. I am getting tired of waiting for that decree. This was disappointing. Oh Well.
     Anyway, at the clinic, I loved doing intakes and figuring out the puzzle of what's wrong with this animal and doing the math to administer the proper amount of medication. So much so that I will endure more chemistry and biology classes in order to be able to work more with animals.
-Huh, apparently the certificate is also a Michigan Transfer Agreement thing...okay so I guess I did ask for that.-
      SO, I had been looking for a new job in my new world of animals. I'd been applying for veterinary assistant and kennel attendant jobs. I did find a wonderful job at an amazing animal shelter in the area that does everything they can to make sure the animals know they're loved until they find a new home. I get a daily pack of dogs that I am required to do certain activities with such as take them for walks, play with them outside and read to them in their kennels. They will know the tales of Harry Potter. I couldn't love the job and the people I work with more, even if things get a little crazy and I feel stressed, I can just sit in the kitten room or the fat cat room and get covered in floofs and relax.
      Classes have also started up again recently and I've been on kind of a Harry Potter kick lately and have been comparing my professors to those from the books based on teaching style. I have Binns for Pre-Calc, Lupin for German, and Russian McGonagall for my Biology class. Lots of homework out of classes is a little stressful but I am super excited to be looking into going to Northern Michigan University for Zoology, I have a tour scheduled in October. Even more exciting though, I found out that everything from my community college transfers (unlike The almighty University of Michigan cough cough). So I'm spending the next year taking more basic classes to get those out of the way. Whee.
