Excitement

It's official! I am going to Buffalo, New York for the summer. As of this time last week I was 98% sure I was going to be an intern with the NRCS (for those of you that don't know that stands for the National Resource Conservation Service). Then today I found out that I am 100% for sure going. More specifically I am going to be a soil conservationist in the Student Trainee Education Program. I'm going to learn everything there is about working with farmers, ranchers, developers, etc., about what government programs there are that will help them keep the land healthy or make it healthier.

I'll be living in or near Buffalo - I'm really unsure of where exactly. I probably wont have a real place to live until my mom and I move me out there in the middle of May. Hopefully I'll be able to find a furnished apartment - even if it is just a studio- that is somewhat cheap, although I don't think I would mind just having an air mattress and a folding table if I really need to, as long as I have my computer.

I'm hoping to not take my tv and take my guitar instead. This will be the first summer in 10 or so years (at least it seems that way) that I haven't taken classes or gone to or worked at Camp Hantesa. I'm not even going to make it to the Woha campfire - it's just too far of a distance for me to go when I'm almost done with my internship.

Although I'm scared, worried, faced with the fact that it doesn't still seem real and I wont be near my friends or wonderful boyfriend and family for the summer I'm sure this is going to be a great experience. Hopefully I'll figure out if I'm headed down the right path or not.
