I cannot even begin to express

...how badly I want this semester to end.

This spring and summer will be really pretty awesome. For spring break, the fiance and I are going on a road trip out west, and then when the semester ends in May, I am going off (hope to God) to an internship somewhere in a state or national park with the student conservation association. Hopefully one of the positions I applied for selects me. I've got several that I have applied for, including cutting trees down in Washington state, backcountry patrolling in Utah, and revegetation work at Devil's Tower. The only one I've applied for that I don't particularly hope I get is this one with the Army Corps of Engineers in Alabama. Working outside every day in southern Alabama isn't my idea of a great time. Still, I had to add it to keep my options open. I hope I get that one in Washington. It's relatively near to a buddy of mine who lives in Tacoma and it'd be badass to go hang out. Plus, it's a chance to basically get an expense-paid vacation to somewhere else, and all you've gotta do is some manual labor.

How hard can it be?

Famous last words.
