I have moved back up to Northern California to work with giant gartersnakes! I swear to you they are birds...:) These first two weeks we have just been building snake traps. And apparently we will be making them until mid-April when we actually "deploy" them! It was fun at first, but now I'm going a bit mad. And dreaming of that first paycheck. It basically comes in a month after the start date so I'm kind of twiddling my thumbs and peeking at my bank account from behind my hand. But after this initial assault on the savings/credit card I should be able to save up again. Yay wildlife field!!! I'm also spring cleaning the one million things I

It's only day 17 of the new year. I can still say happy new year. Time is an illusion anyway... Anyhoot, finished up my condor internship a little over a month ago. I am currently hiding in my parent's house (they don't know I'm here). Ok, I'm kidding they definitely know I'm here. I am currently studying to take an exam so I can substitute teach! Do I really want to substitute teach? No, I'm afraid of kids. But the test is good for life and I figure it's a good thing to have. Besides I might actually enjoy it once I get over the "I don't know what I'm doing" hurdle. (Also I'd stick to 3rd graders and later grade art/science classes maybe?)

I decided to write a journal! Internship I love condors and it is rewarding to push my body (5-12 compiled miles of mostly uphill hiking a week while carrying gear pack!). But I have realized that all-out wildlife management may not be for me. Maybe if I was more in charge of operations? I don't know. I'm probably just done with internships. I want to be up the ladder! Experiencing things you are curious about is good though. Now I know I don't want to work in environmental education (an internship I also liked but did not love) or general wildlife management. When I was at my more research-oriented job I thought it might not be for me. In
