protein synthesis

during protein synthesis the tRNA is used in the ribosome but its not stored in there, i'm assuming that its floating in the cytoplasm but i could be wrong, i'm just not sure here else it would go does anyone else have a definite answer to this question? i can't find one anywhere else.
