The End of the Begining

Tomorrow is my last day working at Nolin.  I can’t believe how quickly everything went by.  I feel like I was just getting to Kentucky and so nervous about starting my internship and now I have met some amazing people gained great friends and I am heading back north home for a couple of days. 
Today I not only worked my last full day as an SCA Water Safety Intern I also applied for the first time to be a park ranger for the Corps.  It was completely random and I don’t except much of my first application but I applied.  That is something I have learned from this experience.  Just go for it, if I decide later if the I get the position that I don’t want it I can always say no.  But I at least have to try.
With the help of everyone at Nolin especially Danielle and Chris once I told them I was interested in getting a ranger position I accomplished everything on the checklist for hiring.  Thanks to Dan I managed to get some water safety contacts out on the boat (well more than some).  Thanks to Carl I now know what a Gypsy Moth trap looks like and how to check them.  And Jason you are the reason I am going back to Vermont with some very random sayings and having had tons of laughs and also a minor issue with taking picture of docks.  And Deryck thank you for saying “ so if I offered this position to you right now would you accept it?”  It was the first time I did something totally unexpected of me and I learned so much about my self and what I want to do.  Everyone that I worked with was amazing and considering how many I worked with I can’t even try to thank them all.
Who knows if the opportunity presents it self I just may be back to annoying you all again soon! :) <3
