Back in the US

Well, I am back in the US! I am still pretty sick and spend most of my days laying around my parents house watching cable and eating as much cheese as I can. Man I missed cheese. Telling people that I left African hasn’t gotten any easier, but most everyone has been super supportive.

Despite laying around a lot, life really launched back into high speed the instant I got off the plane in Kansas City. I started sending out resumes to a bunch of Zoos after being in country for 2 days. I had my first interview with the Des Moines Zoo 2 days later. GAhhhh…too fast! Next Friday I am going to Des Moines for a second interview with the zoo. I got a new cell phone, and a car!! It's terribly cute, it's exactly the same as the one I had before I left, but it is 2 years newer and a beautiful blue…because we all know how I feel about blue :) I got a crazy good deal on it because I bought it from a high school spinster librarian who hadn't advertised it well and was getting desperate to get rid of it. My dad went with me and was super impressed by it…and it just got new tires! Can you tell that I'm a little excited about it?

Ok, well my mom is taking me to lunch for omelets with TONS of cheese :) so this is the end of Cameroon updates!

P.S. My iPod finally has music on it!!!
