So, in addition to work I have decided to pick up a couple volunteer jobs. One is at the Seabiscuit Wildlife Rehab for birds. And the other is at the NC Aquarium. I like the call the aquarium my "testing the waters" experience to see if I like working indoors with wildlife. "testing the waters"...te he... Anyway, I go there on Sunday for my orientation.
The bird Rehab has been great. Here is an status that followed my first day there:
"5:50am - Wake up and grab fishing gear.
6:20am - Pray for Fish
6:30am - Two croakers in my bucket.
7:30am - Giving the fish the mom arm in morning traffic
8:30am - Feed Fish to Pelican in Rehab
9:00am - Wrassel a loon outta a babypool
10:00am - Work Church Bake Sale smelling like loony-fish
I do love days like this!"
I assume that everyday will be this fun at the rehab place. And so far it has proved itself to be so. I have gotten to assist in a medical exam of a crow, and feed the babies. I was feeding some baby birds blueberries and mealworms with tweezers when all of a sudden a mockingbird came out of a tree and sat on my hand...then just helped himself to what was in my bowl. I FELT LIKE SNOW WHITE! BWA HA HA! The wildlife all coming to me...
Anyway. IN ADDITION to my work and my new volunteer work, I am looking for my next job. July has arrived, which was the time I was going to start job searching. And as it turns out, I have a problem. I just want to do everything. I want to do an Americorps program and Gradschool...but I can't do them both at the same time. It turns out that I can get everything I want if only I am patient. OH BOY! That is the hard part. Pray for me as I look into this further.
