Total Awesomeness

framlingemI am SO very glad I didn't skip off Environmental Studies today. (The main reason for this was I overslept on Tuesday, and I felt bad about missing two classes in a week - not because of any desire to actually go to the class. When I do, I usually sleep/read the textbook. Nicki, this is a secret :p No telling Mum about Big Sister's lack of work ethic, because Big Sister is running an A in this class despite skipping - or maybe because of it! lol)
At any rate, Prof.Quayle C. wasn't there (and won't be there next week either, so I have three more hours free next week! Yay!), so the (cute and intelligent but totally unattainable) TA introduced our guest speaker, who is a biologist with ACRE (http://www.swgc.mun.ca/acre/ - can't do that nifty link thing).
This is precisely the kind of work I'd love to do, and oh yes, they take students to work over the summers, doing river inventories and stuff. How awesome is that? So I stayed to chat with her afterwards, and sold myself, and somewhere along the line Guiding got mentioned, and it turns out she's a Brownie Guider, how cool, and she took my email address and is going to give it the Comissioner for the region and see if I can go camping and stuff.
Squee!
(And the job's right here in Corner Brook, which will make finding a place to live over the summer SO much easier, if I get it.)
Job options so far:
ACRE (inventorying or working a kid's program)
Gros Morne (anything I can get)
L'Anse-aux-Meadows (as bilingual tour guide)
Coles (because, you know, books)
Being a bilingual Environmental Studies student is a GOOD thing when searching for a job in a unilingual province which gets a lot of its money from ecotourism. Yepyep.
At any rate, Prof.
