It's 2011!

Somehow 2010 zoomed on past, and here we are in 2011! I was going to do a recap of 2010, but then I realized that all you people already know the major things that happened to me this year! Moorea, UCLA graduation, & Disney World! One really important thing in 2010 was that I decided to pursue my childhood dream of being a marine mammal trainer! It's one of those jobs that kids always want to have when they grow up, but then they do grow up and get real jobs. I always wanted to be a trainer, but figured that it would never happen. Now that I've had some experience though, I know it is possible, and so I'm going to go for it!!! I know I won't be making money, but that's not really the most important thing for me in life. I just want to be happy, and enjoy what I do. I want to wake up every morning and be excited to go to work and see what will happen!!!

Maybe one day I'll be working with all of these guys!!!! :)



As for 2011, it's just getting started! I've got just 2 more days of work at Disney (SAD!!!) and just 5 more days in Florida! I'm flying home on Friday and then I have a week at my parents' house before heading down to San Diego! I start my internship with the Navy Marine Mammal Program on January 18th! I love my job here at Disney, but I'm excited to start something new!

Here are some goals for 2011!
1) Exercise and improve my swimming ability. (I know people always say they will exercise, and I'm the same way, but I legitimately need to exercise and hit up the pool if I'm ever going to pass a swim test and get a paying trainer job.)
2) Stay in contact with friends. (I'm really awful at keeping in contact with people, so I'm going to try and work on that this year!)
3) Apply, apply, apply to jobs! (I always get deterred when I don't have the "required qualifications" but everyone keeps telling me to apply anyway because you never know you won't get the job unless you try!)

Happy 2011 Everyone! :)
