June 14, 2008 - Journal Entry


Two new volunteers came yesterday. Jewel and Amanda. They both seem cool. Jewel seems really shy and unsure of herself around the baboons, but I'm sure that will change. Amanda was here before two years ago. She seems really chill, thank God. I don't think we could handle another nutcase like Ryann. She goes to Tufts but was abroad here for the spring semester (with one of my acquaintances from Penn) so she decided to come back once she was done with school.

Yesterday I had afternoon cleanup for the first time in a week because I was housemaster. Gabby and Ryann were scheduled to be on it with me. I figured that Ryan would have no idea, because she pays no attention to the schedule. So Gabby and I found her to make sure that she knew about it. She told us that she is allergic to hay and that her "bronchial passages would close up and she would have to be rushed to the hospital". First of all, given that all of her stories are probably lies, I didn't even want to hear it and just walked away from her mid sentence. Secondly, she was sitting in the hay all day in the hoks and she was fine. I was so irritated. That's the last straw for me.
