I am in love.

That’s my long term goal. My plan for achieving that goal is as follows:
I have been doing research for 6 years online on this wonderful website that has been the most helpful during my journey of wanting to study Primates. While researching I have realized that, without experience, it would be impossible for me to take an internship, job, or even volunteer position without having saved a hefty amount of money for housing and food, etc. Most of those positions don’t pay and I am broke as shit right now, dealing with about $20,000 of student loans.
If I get a Masters in Education I could teach abroad [specifically at a University in Kurdistan] and make $100,000/yr + government housing and a private driver.
If I pursue a Masters and do this I could go there for a few years and have enough saved to pay off my student loans and then either get a Masters in Primatology or just move somewhere in Africa, Europe, or Asia to intern, volunteer, or research.
So that’s what I need to do to achieve my goal. The good thing is my student loans will be deferred if I go back to school.
Now…to get into grad school with my shitty GPA…..is my issue.
A new species of monkey was discovered in the Democratic Republic of Congo called The Lesula (Cercopithecus Lomamiensis). This species is apparently well-known to local hunters but unknown to the outside world until now. Scientists say it is only the second discovery of a monkey species in 28 years.
BRB while I research the fuck out of the Lesula.
orangutans attend ‘jungle school’ so they can be returned to safe forests.
Orphaned by hunters who hack their mothers to death, or victims of loggers destroying their forest, these wide-eyed, innocent orangutans have found a sanctuary to protect them.
And their unlikely new ?mummy?? Former air-hostess Lone Droscher-Nielsen and her Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation.
She has dedicated her life to saving orangutans whose habitat is being razed by bulldozers - without her, it is unlikely that any of these babies would be alive today.
Now they attend ?jungle school? so they can be returned to safe forests.
