So far So good.
Well so far the nature center likes me and says I can stay and just today the Zoo called me and said I got a 4 out of 5 on my evaluation which is good and I can stay. So both jobs are aorking out well. Grandted I am still poor and I am missing one pay check which i am vigerously hunting down because its for liek 200 bucks, but all in all so far so good.
Also I found a volunteer job doing fish research. I will do one of two things or both. I am aiming for both but we shall see how time works out. First I will be looking at Otoliths in Shoal Bass. The Otoliths is a fishes inner ear and from that inner ear you can tell exactly how old that fish is to the day it was hatched. You can also tell where it grew up and how good/bad that day and in other fish that year was. I am very excited because so far there are only like 18 papers on Shoal bass in the world which means that I have a chance to be Published! Granted I will be working with Mr. Long (the fish guy) and his name is the big important one but mine could be there too! Next is Trout sampling and looking at trout where they are setting up nesting sites in GA. Trout are picky fish and are hard to breed and now after we have been introducing them for so long they have started breeding by themselves. They want to know where why and how. Yippie stuff to keep me busy!
As far as grad schools go I just wait now. They have all my info and I am just waiting to hear yes or no. I want it to be Yes but at least now I feel like if they say no I will be ok. I have 2 jobs I like very much and maybe some new fish stuff. I still want them to say yes though.
