Something exciting that I currently have going on is that I am the Animal Department Intern at the Greenville Zoo. This means I am working at the zoo helping zookeepers with cleaning, training, enrichment, and diet preparation for a variety of animals. I've had a lot of amazing experiences already, and I would love for you all to check out my zoo intern blog at http://tailsofazoointern.blogspot.com/.
I've definitely been experiencing some post-DCP depression. I miss my friends from Disney so incredibly much, and it's so hard with them being scattered all over the country and the world, to keep up with one another. I've also had a hard time adjusting to this "homework/school" thing, since I haven't had homework or tests in eight months... So, needless to say, that's been an interesting adjustment I've had to make. I also just miss being surrounded by people like me, who love Disney. Not too many people here get super excited to hear about the new improvements they're making around the theme parks!
I think the best way to sum up my Post-DCP experience is that it's different. I started a completely new internship at the zoo (which I'm loving), and am back in the swing of my school schedule. It's fair to say that I feel like my heart is split in half and I'll never have it all back in the same place again. Half of my heart lies in Clemson, with my friends, school, and extracurriculars, and the other half lies in Disney, and with the people, memories, and experiences I had there.
The DCP is certainly a life-changing experience, and I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to have had my life changed for the better because of it. Please continue to keep up with all of my adventures at Tails of a Zoo Intern, and if you have any questions/comments, please feel free to reach out to me! Until next time, always keep on dreaming!
