Self-Confidence
Apr. 18th, 2018 08:18 amI'm doing well in my internship. When I started, I was worried I wasn't going to be able to keep up with the other interns, which quickly turned out not to be the case. According to the senior intern, I'm pretty fast, though that may be as much due to other interns not focusing on their work as it is due to any natural skill I have.
Regardless, while I'm enjoying it a lot, I'm having to find another position soon; the internship lasts for the spring and I want to work over the summer. So far, I've applied to a few positions, mostly things in the Southwest. I've always wanted to live there, and it's actually warm down there. There are a surprising number of carnivore technician positions, but few in the area I'd like to live in--but it's seasonal work, so I'll be moving around anyway.
I did get a phone call back from a position in Massachusetts, so I may be moving up there. It's near Boston, which is nice. During the summer it should be nice and warm, and I can collect beach glass and visit my brother, who has gone to school at Brandeis.
I'm also considering volunteer work. There are a few positions that technically don't pay anything, but give you free room and board. You aren't ending up with money, but you aren't worse off and you get stuff out of it. One of the ones that's caught my eye would be in the South Pacific, on Johnston Atoll.
Personally, I'm okay. The weather doesn't suit me well, but I'm dealing, and I'm not too depressed.
Also, the dead raccoon, from earlier? I called it in two months ago and it is still there.
