guinea pig?

Woah. So i'm actually surviving this place so far. i dont even believe it. today i did my observational day where i tagged along with 3 other rangers to a cruise ship to watch them do their stuff. and holy crap... it wore me out just watching them. i love the pace of everything. oh yeah, and im not so worried about food anymore. the more the better apparently. my new worry now is speaking in front of 250ish people about anything i can scrounge up for a presentation. ive got a ton of brainstorming/reading to do over the weekend. oh, tomorrows my birthday too. no work! im going with some others to kayak and camp for a night so it should be interesting in bear country. what better way to spend your last birthday? (kidding)

yesterday rocked: i went swimming! we had to learn the man overboard rescue and guess who got to be the lovely little guinea pig. yep, correct. but i had an emersion suit on so it isnt all bragging about my manli/womanliness. BUT i did have a leak in my foot/flipper so it got a little cold. its been raining constantly since ive been here but seriously. rain. does. not. matter. this place is so beautiful, water really couldn't get me down. wait, i take that back. we did have 10 minutes of sunshine during our swim yesterday when a killer rainbow stretched over the bay. and i floated on my back in the otter position and got a tan on my nose (the only part sticking out of my emersion suit).

Work is absolutely fun and crazy so far. im in desperate need of sleep due to a 5 - 5 work day so until again... have fun =)
