I Shouldn't Be Typing This Now....

...because the pile of gradschool work sitting next to me on the hotel bed just screams out for my attention.

But let's face it, it's been a month since I last typed and there is a lot to share.

I am currently in a hotel because I have been flown down to Georgia to finish off my wildland fire-fighting training and prescribed burn training with the Nature Conservancy.  They offered me a job in southeastern GA for a yearlong land management internship.  This means I am no longer subbing, janitor-ing, or cooking at the restaurant.  I got another big girl job in my field...

After MANY hours of online training, which competed with my "current" (at the time) jobs, gradschool, and life in general, I am happy to say that I am very close to being certified as a Fire-Fighter Type 2.  And after running off to Colorado next week to visit my dear friend from undergrad, I will drive down to Georgia for good as a preserve assistant in this internship.

I don't know what this next year will hold, but I guarantee challenges, and lessons.  I know I will learn so much, and I know it is good.  Wish me luck, and hopefully the next time I check in, I can tell you more about the preserve. (Hopefully I will be caught up on school work by then too!)
