one week down, one to go.

well world, it's been just one week since my sweet left the country and i've generally been doing pretty well. however, i've started to become one of those people that looks to strike up conversations with strangers (aka "lonely"). i rode my bike all around town again today and went to the zoo. it was lovely outside, not as hot as it has been of late, and i tooled around the zoo for a bit, checking out the animals and whatnot. i started conversations with people in the ape house, in the african safarijourneything, and over by the sign that tells you where to go. i almost struck up a chat with a zookeeper, but she looked pretty busy observing some gray's monkeys. i would say nerdy things like, (looking at the chimps) "wow, there's no way we're related," attempting to comment sarcastically on those who don't believe in evolution. people don't mind if you talk to them, if they don't like it, they just ignore you.

later i bought some plants.
