I had some microwaveable waffle for breakfast, hoping I wouldn't regret not having a shake when I was going to be out until afternoon. I rode the bus to the zoo and did my ethograms in the rain. The yak was out, but the coyotes weren't active at all.
I did more clicker training and prepared enrichment for several birds. I also went out to gather browse in the cold and wet. There was a lot of cleaning and organizing to do.
Today, I talked to the zoo director about finishing up my internship. I asked if I could continue coming to the zoo at other times during the week besides Friday, so that I could gather all the hours I need for my class in time to write my essay. We discussed how I'd enjoyed the work, and learned a lot so far.

In the end, the director said I could be done with my internship today. I only needed a few more hours, and he said that since I'd worked hard and been so willing to volunteer, he was willing to sign off my final hours. That was really nice of him. I hadn't been counting bus riding time at all, but if I did, I would have met my hours a long time ago.
I walked to Wendy's to grab some food, then rode the bus to my fiction writing class. We read and critiqued the final short story today. At times I haven't liked my fiction writing class, but it has had its enjoyable moments too.
I finally came home from my long day to find an email from my adviser in the English department. It said that a space had opened in Advanced Fiction Writing, which I'd been on the wait list for. She'd given me until 3:00 to get into Advanced Fiction Writing. It was too late now. Oh. I hadn't thought to check my email while waiting for class to start.

Since I hadn't had a shake this morning, I made one for dinner and did homework for the rest of the day. I had quite a bit this week, but I've managed to get through.
