*great big sigh of relief*
So many things just happened to fall into place all in the matter of a day. I was hired today for a position spanning from May-October as a herpetological research assistant. Meaning, I will be spending my summer trapping, tagging, releasing and tracking seven species of turtles in marshes around the chicagoland area. (the kind of work that makes a nerd like me giddy). Then I find out that my graduation application was processed (seeing as I turned it in almost a year too late) and I am in fact on the list for graduation in May. Then my professor gets back to me and tells me that I do not owe money that I was worried I owed and also has a connection for another job for me if I so desire. Soo needless to say, I'm having a pretty damn good day.
