This past year, I finished up my second to last Core Requirement for my major in college. I am an Interdisciplinary Studies major (dance minor). IDS is the studies of all things as seen from various angles and perspectives. Instead of seeing something solely through the eyes of a single academic discipline, an IDS grad can look at the same problem through a prisim of disciplines and find an "out of the box" solution.

Basically all it means is that I am a Jack of all Trades, but Master of None. So I can do a little of everything, but not one thing exceptionally well.

For the final paper on this couse, we had the opportunity to write an open subject research paper but detailing the interdisciplinary needs of the subject. Being the fanatical geek of all things Okapi, I obviously had to choose that as my subject. So this is my 11 page report on the Interdisciplinary Needs of Okapi Husbandry in a Modern Zoo. Don't be scared at the length though, this is a college essay so its double spaced and includes cover sheet, abstract and reference page. So out of 11 pages, really its only about 4 pages of actual content.

I am happy to report that I received a perfect A on this report and my final grade for the course was the highest of my class. I was the only student this semester that scored higher then the maximum points allowed (yay for extra credit).

Please sit back, relax and enjoy my Okapi Study. You might learn something. If anyone else is writting an essay about Ungulates or the Okapi specifically, please use the data herein but credit me as appropriately. I can send y'all my real name if needed.
