Hey Zooamores! Long time no see. I accidentally took a hiatus from blogging. I often get caught up in the tornado of life, both the college/internship tornado and the “I just graduated college/I have a job/I don’t know what I’m doing with my life/I’m tired” tornado (the latter being my situation for the past 8 months). However, it’s my day off, I’m refreshed and inspired! Instead of questioning it, I’m running with this new burst of motivation. 2019, baby!! I am currently a full-time Animal Keeper at the African Safari Wildlife Park in Port Clinton, Ohio. I’ve been there over 8 months now and time has flown! I graduated from The Ohio State University in May 2018, and started work less than a week after I graduated. My goal was to be actively creating Zooamore content, but I developed a bad habit of not doing it, and that became my new norm. I was working 50+ hour weeks and spent most of my time after work recovering (i.e. reading teen fluff and sleeping). I did not feel like driving to a zoo on my days off to film or photograph animals, preventing me from uploading anything current. My hope for 2019 is that I will take better care of myself (physically and emotionally), so that way when I am inspired to create, I have the energy to do so. Here’s to 2019! I do hope you stick around for fun animal videos, pictures, and blog posts that hopefully do a decent job of explaining my thoughts.
