Environmental Ed Day
Wow, so it's becoming more and more clear to me that the majority of my job consists of protecting teenagers from the myriad of outdoor and work-related hazards that could cause them bodily harm. And that includes zoonotic diseases, an overview of which left me more than a little queasy.
Moral of the story? West Nile is nasty stuff, and you do not ( Read more... ) -
First Week on the Job
So I just finished my first week with the Boulder County Youth Corps, my first week of training. Here are some general observations thus far:

A minuses can suck it
I'm counting today as my first day of summer. A good day, if not terribly exciting. I got my work boots and gloves for Youth Corps, did my grocery shopping since it was my turn to cook for Heroes night, and that was about it ( Read more... ) -
The semester draws to a close...
Life is going very well right now. A lot of things have fallen into place over the past few weeks, and now that I am finally done with school I am able to really enjoy the state of my life at the moment. I start Youth Corps in June, and I can already tell from the one day I spent interviewing kids last weekend that I am going to love it. In the ( Read more... )
