Update on my Ordeal with the Zoo Internship Lady
Hello readers. You may remember that I wrote an entry about a month and a half ago about an extremely narrow-minded response by an internship coordinator for my local zoological society whom I contacted inquiring about accommodations for an internship next summer. Well, I meant to post an update on how I responded to thisContinueContinue reading “Update on my Ordeal with the Zoo Internship Lady”
The Life of a Party Animal
Well hello readers. It’s Gilbert here again. As Mom told you in the last entry, we are back in school and though Mom has had a lot of reading to do, she says it is nothing compared to last semester.

I just cannot win, I tell you!ContinueContinue reading “Some Thoughts as I Return To School”
An Address from the Queen
Hello readers. This is Snickers, the adorable feisty cat that Allison hardly ever mentions in this journal. I know this is probably because a large segment of you humans think dogs lead more interesting lives than cats, so she wants to cater to the largest audience possible. But since she and Gilbert have had moreContinueContinue reading “An Address from the Queen”

A Wise College Decision
Last Saturday at my college, there was a preview day for incoming freshmen to register for their classes if they hadn’t already, tour the campus and seek advice for how to be successful in college from older students.
