Hello! This is SeaWorldGurl1. I know y'all remember me saying I was going to leave the ZT community... but, I've had a change of heart.

When I said I was leaving, I really meant that with school work, volunteer service, following my dreams, swim team, and everything else I just didn't have the time for forums anymore! I've had my break for quite a few months now and I think I can handle this again. Things have slowed down now with swim season being over and my freshman year coming to an end.

I'd really like it if the staff here at ZooMania could forgive me for leaving so suddenly. I know that I made a huge mistake and I'm willing to make up for it.

I won't be on as much as I used to. Far from it, actually. I'll probably only have enough time to pop in from time to time to comment on topics. I'm afraid I won't be designing animals anymore, nor will I be hosting a 'show and tell' topic. (I also can't make it onto MSN anymore. I'm sorry.)

BUT. I'd really like to say that I've realized how much I've missed this community and the wonderful friends I made who always supported me and my dreams.

I'm also proud to announce that our swim team was the City Champ and the ladies team was the Regional Champ. We had two girls and one guy go to state.

I have also been talking to a killer whale trainer at SWF for awhile now. One of the ladies at the place I volunteer has a cousin who is a killer whale trainer, and she was kind enough to give me her e-mail. I truly believe that things happen for a reason and I'm meant to work at SeaWorld.

I got approved for Zoology next year... which is only available to juniors and seniors. But I'll be taking it as a sophomore! I'm also going to take Honors Biology, AP Biology, Pyschology, AP Environmental Science and many more. And for those of you who don't know, AP classes are college level classes.

I hope that I can be forgiven and I'd really love to come back!

You don't need to apologize! In fact, real life does this to everyone never should you have to apologize for something that has to do with your dreams, especially if the internet is what's taking up your time =P

Still, I'm glad you will finally have time to visit us again and I hope that as time permits, you'd be able to be as active as you once were!

Welcome back!

Your friend, catc

P.S. I'm glad everything is working out with swimming!

Welcome back! There's no need to feel bad. :)
Excelling in real life is SO much more important than hanging out on message boards! XD

Nice to see you again!

Am I awake? * pinches self *


Woo!! I am!! Welcome back to the ZT Community!!
No need to be sorry. Real life is alot more important and comes first.

Yay welcome back!! Of course real life is much more important, you don't have to be sorry :) It's great to see you back!

Haha, aww. I didn't expect to be missed this much! XD

I'm glad y'all understand. I'm glad to be back!

How could you stay away from ZM forever? Clearly it is the best place on earth! :P

Thank you!
