. . . STILL ALIVE!
Man, I am awful about updating this poor journal.

Okay, general updates:

I drove back from New Mexico in two days. Not bad, not baaaad. ^_^ Of course, I was chugging caffeinated drinks the whole way.

Sadly I did NOT get the coveted Alaska job I mentioned before, which would have been doing vegetation surveys. Too bad because I could've stayed with my aunt who lives in Anchorage and it would have worked out PERFECTLY. Argh. I also got narrowly turned down for a greater sage grouse job in Idaho. C'est la vie!

Right now I'm unemployed and have just enough to make it through the summer. I just sold a bunch of Nirvana ponies (you know, the rare variant ponies from Argentina and places), which definitely helped. Also, I applied for a job in Montana that's basically a volunteer position (seriously, only $300 a month! though they do provide housing) but would be worth it because a) I'd learn a lot about trapping lizards and mammals and such and b) I'd be getting in with the Montana department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks, and getting in with the government is always a good thing.

So that's the job front. On the school front, well . . . I'm really confused about what to do with the upcoming school year to make transfering to a 4-year school as easy as possible. More about that in a different post, there's too much to get into here!

On the pony front, I just started writing again (as in, yesterday) and am happy with the story so far. I also want to start on my JLA fic again, Watching the Watchers, as it just got it's 40th review on FF.net and I feel kind of guilty about abandoning it. (For you Boostle people: Read it, it has Ted! Lots of Ted! And it will have Booster in it eventually!)

Okay, that's it for now! Um . . . still alive! Woo! *pumps fist in air*

Glad to hear you got back from New Mexico alright! :D I'm sorry you got turned down for the jobs, though. :(

Ugh, school is confusing. I hear ya there. D:

I'll try to comment if I can remember my login!

I should post the fic with no name on FF.net, but... >_> I'm afraid of weirdos.

Yeah, I hear you on that, for a while I had anonymous comments turned off because some weirdo kept pretending to be two people and argue with himself about . . . Sailor Moon. In the feedback for pony fics. What is that all about?

I'm not too heartbroken about the Alaska and Idaho jobs because, really, getting on the "short list" of candidates was pretty good considering I only have had one year (actually only two quarters!) of college. The sage grouse lady told me if she had two spots open, she would've hired me and that she'd pass along my resume to a quail guy (I think she may have forgotten to, though, I never heard from any quail guy), so that made my day.

Still, it would have been pretty hilarious living in a town called "Atomic City", population 30, with one bar. ;)

Atomic City? That's awesome, LOL!

Argh, I wish that people would follow through with what they are supposed to do. I totally bet that the quail guy would have called you if he had gotten your resume. :(

On one hand, boo for not getting the jobs :( I've been there many a time, and it sucks. :(

On the other hand, yea for you writing again. I need my MLP/JL crossover story finished! Munchy hungry!

Munchy hungry! Munchy EAT!!!

Yeah, I just wish the current jobs I applied for would call me back, even if it's just to say "no thanks." Raaawr.

I now regret not using the "kill duckie" icon on that post, so I will recify it here.

I'm sorry the jobs didn't pan out. That stinks. :/ Hopefully something better will turn up soon.

Yay for you writing again! :D I re-read Watching the Watchers last night. Had forgotten a few things, as its easily been over a year since I last read it. *flails* Poor Question.

Yeah, when I go back and check on these things I always think, "Wait, I started it WHEN??" Always longer back than I remember. :P

I'm sorry the job thing fell through. But ah, if it wasn't meant to be, so be it. You'll find something else. :3

Re: School -- come here. Our Animal Science program is fun. We have sheeps. They go "baa!"

I miss Watching the Watchers. So much. ;_;

Cal Poly, SLO. :3

The sheeps, they are so dumb. But so cute. The babies all play "king of the hill" on a rock that isn't even waist-high. X3
