I just realized that I haven't posted in almost a month!  Things have been so hectic!

I'm toughing it out for the last 2 finals I have for the semester... I am definitely ready for this semester to be over to summer can begin!  I move out of my apartment on Friday (very excited) and then headed back home for the summer!

The other day I was looking at potential job opportunities I may have when I start applying for jobs for after I graduate in December (crossing my fingers).  Most of them were not very exciting; apparently environment and safety go together in the workforce so it's a good thing I have experience with both.  I then came across a job for a paralegal working with an environmental lawyer.  Then I started thinking, if I'm going to be a paralegal I might as well be the lawyer and make a lot more money.  So my potential idea is to eventually go to law school in about 2 or 3 years, so I can get some workforce experience beforehand and save up some money.  There seems to be no better way to protect and preserve the environment than to actually be a part of the political world that determines the fate of the environment.  So one day I may be literally running (politically of course) for the environment.  Of course I won't know for sure my decision on this until after a year or two.  Updates will be posted.

So this summer I will be working on my PADI Divemaster training (this will be 2 years since I signed up for the course :( )  One part of the training is that I have to create an underwater map and what better place to do that than in Cozumel, Mexico!  I will be leaving June 4 and staying for a week- hopefully diving almost every day.  For other sections of my training I have to know all of the basic actions for Open Water divers and I have to be able to explain them in a way that pertains to a novice diver, so I may be using my friends as guinea pigs for that one!

Hopefully I will remember to update more during the summer.  No 5K's on the agenda as of right now, but hopefully there will be shortly.  I had family stuff for a week and then I was sick for a week so I have to build my endurance back up.

Til next time!
