11.75 Hrs

I worked today. Saw the sunrise and set...but I got paid for it, so it made it worth it even more. Did a live feed, nation wide interpretive talk with another ranger I work with to CT for a conference (about the tide pools).

Pretty exhausted. No coffee too. Just carb load.

Snowboarding for the first time this Sunday with a really good friend from college. Can't wait to spend time on the slopes and with him! He's awesome!

I leave in 41 days. I pretty much have to pack my entire room (because I will be moving out for good, and my mom plans on moving to a smaller place). That'll be fun...

"There are two kinds of people in this world that go around beardless—boys and women—and I am neither one"
A quote that has plagued the minds of the male rangers at my work, they are so silly, but awesome people to work with.

I win!

So I was picked out of over 700 entries for this photo contest! (first photo contest I've ever won I think!) http://www.nature.nps.gov/PhotoContest/Winners/ Check it out!!

Six more weeks until I leave for Skagit. Just got a sick house in La Conner with three other students. Pretty excited!

Waking up at 5 tomorrow morning to do a live presentation via the internet on tidepools to a NPS conference on the east coast.

Back to brushing up on anemones and sea grass...

Ocho

Eight. That's how many more weeks I have left here. Eight more weeks until I arrive at my new home in Mt. Vernon, Washington. Eight more weeks until I begin my journey to becoming a Ranger.
I'm getting a camper shell for my truck, which I am quite excited about even though it's raping my bank account! Not to mention I'm working on getting a house with three other students (ranger house what what!). I'm really excited and each week I'm getting closer and closer.
More to come soon.
