Three hundred lives of men I have walked this earth and now I have no time
The above quote is from Gandalf, for those wondering. There is no way for me to have lived three hundred lives of men...or is there?
Anyway, my main reason for using the quote is because I have no time anymore. I thought this job would afford me more time but there seems to me always something to do especially after my accident took place so that I could get everything in order for my new car to be taken care of and then I do have my job to do so it has just been more hectic than I first thought.
Some more bad news, they seem to have not reserved an assistantship when they accepted me into grad school at Fort Hays State University so my fate for this fall still has yet to be decided. The most I can do is still prepare for it the best I can while establishing back up plans to take care of it just in case I don't go this fall. I will probably end up taking a another field job or might find a temp job in Norway...why Norway? I don't know, people tend not to like Arctic climates while I tend to adore them and the different kinds of life that can colonize them. But if any of my foreign readers know of any temp positions in the wildlife/environmental field within their countries that would take Americans, I would be gracious to know them.
Other than that, I have just been enjoying nature as I should. Got to see my first endangered species in the wild, the red-cockaded woodpecker. Saw it with my boss on Tuesday and it was awesome. The experience of seeing it in the wild versus the zoo is so much more than I could of expected. Here, you watch it being itself, acting the way it should instead of pacing in a cage. I understand why zoos are important but seeing these species in the wild really brings home to why I am doing this. It puts into perspective why this is a cause worth fighting for. It reminds me ever more of why I chose to take up this fight and fight for those who can not fight for themselves. It has restored my vigor and determination to succeed, and succeed I will.
