I looked up at the alarm clock waiting for the time to hit 10:50 AM, 10 minutes beforemy shift at the zoo began. Just one week ago, standing in my beige button up shirt and jeans, I was named the head keeper of the zoo.

Didn’t you think of filling the car up with gas before we left?” I really didn’t appreciate Nathan’s attitude considering this was one of the few vacations we were able to take together. He was a neurosurgeon and I’m a research scientist, so it’s safe to say that we are both extremely busy people. We were supposed to go on this extravagant vacation to Paris, go sightseeing, eat carb-filled foods, and feel free, but as soon as we got to the airport yesterday one of Nathan’s patients went into criti...
