Missing the Arnold
I miss Boston and the Arnold. It's the middle of October, and I still wish I was in Boston and getting up at quarter of six every morning. I miss going in to work. I miss the friends I made while I was there, and the good times we had. It was a wonderful summer.
Today I got the opportunity to volunteer at the Penn State Arboretum. We ended up removing invasive plants. And wow, was that familiar. It reminded me so much of this summer and our intern project. It felt so good to be outside, playing in the dirt again. I missed that, the sheer physicality of the work I want to do. I enjoy being outside and making such a visible difference in the landscape.
So, I miss the Arnold.
And I'm worried about getting a job, and my ability to do so. My resume is very good, but I'm still anxious. This is a tough job market, and I have doubts.
Today helped with that. Working outside with plants always makes me feel less stressed, and I love that so much. I know I definitely made the right decision with my major, and my choice of profession.
