Local South Senior High School student Hannah Olausen has been accused of animal cruelty and downright stupidity because of a recent issue regarding a full grown african tiger, some kelly green paint, and an after school environmental group. "hannah is the type of person to make anything fun" says a close personal friend, when it comes to fun, ms.olausen should rearrange her priorities. The story started out with Olausen taking part in her high schools "green tigers" environmental initiative group. The group meets after school and they have different weeks during the school year in which students may participate in environmentally friendly activities, like biking to school etc.
ms.Olausen being a part of the group wanted to make a difference (like a lot of hipsters do) by being environmentally friendly her friends were helping the earth so much by riding their bikes and only paying attention to car emissions that hannah felt like she had to one up them. Ms.Olausen went to the Minnesota state zoo and lured a tiger out of the cage (because she obviously has the skills to do so, i mean doesnt everyone?)and brought it home. The next morning she woke up, did her regular morning routine, but instead of taking that extra ten minutes to wash her hair (because shes environmentally friendly by saving water)she dyed the fur of her new tiger green.
When ms.Olausen got to school she unbuckled the tiger from the backseat of her car (safety first, you cant ride a bike with a tiger in the back, so much for going green) and she showed her classmates what she had accomplished, needless to say they were exuberant (who wouldnt be excited to see a kelly green colored tiger at 8 in the morning). The school officials didnt think they had enough room for the tiger in the school, so it was sent back to the zoo, but It turned out to be a stunt that most think will last for many years to come.

That Was Some Adventure Huh?
When i was three years old, i went to costa rica for nine weeks. My father was on sabbatical and my sister and i were along for the ride. We were going there so my father could teach sociology to the costa rican students at a community college in monteverde, costa rica. It was my first vacation and i was going out of the country, you could say i was excited but that would be an understatement. The plane ride was long and the farther south we went the hotter it got.
When we arrived we were in awe of the beauty of the island, the people were beautiful, the plants were beautiful, just everything was crystal clear, and magnificent. being a toddler i thought it was a whole different planet, i had asked many questions and i was very curious. We took a bus to Monterverde to the house we were staying in. We were living with a whole family, they owned a cement factory and there was a little girl that lived next door to us that i could play with.
Everything was fantastic, we had a babysitter, but there was one problem...none of the people we lived with spoke english very well. My babysitter didnt speak english at all. we had plenty of VHs tapes and kids shows taped from Tv that i could watch. I was pretty well occupied while my father was at work. one day whilst my father was at work my babysitter decided to rent us a scary movie to watch since my sister and i watched scary kids TV shows, it seemed okay to her. Our babysitter rented "people under the stairs" which is a rated R movie about people that kidnapped children and hid them under the stairs of their house and they are basically crazy cannibals.
when my father got home and saw us watching this movie, horrified he tore us away from the Tv. We were shocked that there were movies like this because i was 3 and my sister was 7. we were used to watching goosebumps and space jam. My father tried to explain why it was wrong but the language barrier kept it from being a very fluid conversation. We all ended up getting along well, but we all needed to learn more about each others languages before we could really be comfortable after that incident. That was some adventure huh?
