Well ok, in another 3.5 hours......
Hello Family and Friends!
This is just a quick post to welcome you all to my second favorite month of the year! (PS my favorite is October/autumn in general :) The end of July was a bit turbulent, but all is well, no worries. The majority of life wouldn't be as great if we didn't have those moments of difficulty, right?
The end of July means we are closing out on the busiest part of our season here in Atikokan. We only have one more "peak," which consists of 8 crews coming in on August 4th...looking forward to it! Things are finally started to slow down and the focus has turned to thinking up wrapping things up. Along those lines, I have begun to write my notes for the next person in my position...hope they like reading novels!
My personal focus has turned to preparing to go to school in 15 days...yikes! This fall I will be attending Fall Camp, which is a Michigan Tech program for Wildlife, Forestry, and Environmental Science students (I'm in the 3rd group :) The program is still 14 weeks long (a regular semester) but we start early meaning we are done early -- at Thanksgiving! The program is held at the Ford Center, which is on Michigan Tech property about 45 minutes south of Houghton. I will live, eat, and have class at the Ford Center, meaning for the most part I will not in Houghton this fall :( My address is up on the Contact page so feel free to send me mail! I will be an RA in the residence hall at the Ford Center, which I'm excited about, and look forward to living amongst my peers.
I come home on the 13th and then off to school on the 15th...in case you're wondering I'll be home 43 hours total :) I can't believe how quickly summer has gone by! It feels like a just started the job. Great times and good people make time fly I guess. I really do hope that you all have been having fantastic summers. I'm sorry that I haven't kept up with you all as much as I had planned. Hopefully I can talk to you soon or even seen you while I'm home!
Well, as I say.... it's another day in paradise! Enjoy the life you've got and embrace the situations you find yourself in. You never know what's in store!
PS - PHOTOS!!!!! I have FINALLY posted photos from my WFR class and of my time thus far at Northern Tier for the summer. Go ahead and take a look in the "May 2013" and "Northern Tier - Summer 2013" albums for new pics!
PPS - Shout to my friend Michael as he turned 20 yesterday!
