Well I haven't updated in a while, because I've been trying to figure out to do with my life. I am working in Rocky for 4 more weeks, and then... it's over. Odd to think about. I just spent half a year here, and then it's just over. I have to move out of my apartment no more than 3 days after my last day of work, which means October 5th I need to have Focus packed up, with a destination in mind. Here's the new deal:
Applied for a winter fire position here at Rocky. Probably won't get it, since I don't have my Red Card (fire training) and a gazillion people are applying, but it doesn't hurt to try. The job I guess is pretty hard, and cold, doing fuel reduction all winter, but I would get a lot of training so I could maybe be on a real fire crew next summer.
Decided to seriously pursue the grad school thing for January. My friend Maria told me about Montana State's masters program in Land Rehabilitation, and I really like it! Trying to make connections with professors there but not getting far. So I'm applying to Montana State, and also U of Michigan again for the Landscape Architecture program. I am also tyring to get a late application in to Colorado State for restoration ecology, but we'll see if they let me. Sortof considering Minnesota, or maybe Univ. of Colorado, but probably not for this spring. I am not crossing my fingers for this spring though, so I continue the job hunt!
Job hunting mostly in Colorado, not much going on in Michigan in the way of enviro jobs. I started half-assed looking at apartments in Boulder and Fort Collins, since I think I'm going to stay out here if Montana or maybe Michigan grad school doesn't work. I really want to learn how to snowboard so I figure Colorado is the place to be. ;)
This weekend: Scott's birthday, so we are going to party of course. Working overtime Friday, probably hang out with Neil, maybe start bouldering again? It's hard to have fun when you are frantically trying to figure out your life!!
