Ranger 146

To show that I am not the only seasonal biologist out there going through this, here is one of the classic websites that I'm sure is in every bio tech's Favorites menu. I like his photo: No cellular coverage!

Ranger 146: My Life as a Seasonal Wildlife Biologist
(Also many excellent job links!)

In other news... I had a bad day. I had the bad interview, I was yelled at by the bad woman-hater, my achilles aches badly.... And I finally heard from Colorado State. Bad?

DENIED!

Frankly, I was shocked. Don't wanna toot my own horn, but my grades were excellent, Dean's List and graduated with honors, excellent references and work experience... It's not even that I wanted to go anymore - I pretty much decided I wouldn't enroll this fall. But the fact that I didn't get in!! Then I look at the reason: They ran out of open spots. Doh! It doesn't help that I had thought my application was finished in October when, in fact, I was missing one letter of recommendation and turned it in very late (May!). So I salvaged some of my pride knowing that they didn't have many open spots in the first place, and I still kick ass. They don't know what they are missing.
