I just can't get you outta my head.

So I'm thinking of going back to school for the Conservation Law Enforcement certificate I didn't go for last year. If I get it I can intern at Denali and maybe get a job there protecting the last great wildlife sanctuary in the U.S. I mean, Denali is HUGE. It's over 6 million acres. Hell, it is larger than the entire state of Massachusetts and it's in the heart of the Alaskan mainland. I'm talking Grizzly bears and wolves as common occurrences. But yeah, this may be another one of my wild goose chases so ignore me now. However, I am going to pursue the certificate because it's only $2500 and 8 months of my life. But I'd feel soooooooo much happier protecting nature and wildlife than building houses for the continued growth of human populations >:(

Yeah, I think I'd like living out there. At first I wasn't liking being out here in Guilford because of the isolation but, now I kinda like it so long as I have good food and books (and the occasional guest). I can't wait to plant a garden this year and then tend to it after work. I swear when the weather gets nice I'm going to bivouac myself in a pile of earth and leaves for like 3 straight days! But yeah, anyway....

Oh and in case anyone is wondering, the problem I'm having with regular police work is that police agencies (at least the ones I've contacted so far) seem so damn unforgiving of my past indiscretions. I mean wtf? I was <16. How was I supposed to know that these decisions would impact my future life so much. I mean, hell, I never got charged with a felony so what's the big f-in deal. Yeah so I have a bunch of misdemeanors... I was a fucking minor. I've come sooooooooooo far since then. Ah well, screw em if they can't see that people can and DO change for the better sometimes. :)
