Oh, I can't even tell you how refreshing it is to have an expiration date. And I don't mean and end date like I am dying, but a end of shelf date. It's been a difficult winter. No real job prospects to speak of and there was a second there when I thought my prospects for a summer job would be the same. Cue one of my ":people" and I am off to Yellowstone National Park to be a Park Ranger Interpreter for the summer. (expiration date May 11) I haven't been a park ranger before so this is exciting and terrifying all at the same time. Exciting for the reasons anyone would be excited. Terrifying because I am so scared I am going to let my "person" down. I love my "people". They bail me out every time I need them. I hope I always return the favor.
It will be hard to pack up from home and head off again but it will also be a relief. At home I feel on guard all the time. It's stressful to feel like you have to be a certain way. It's hard to explain but maybe I can put it more plainly at another time. Aahhh In 6 weeks I pack up the car again to start off on another adventure....
