Rain, rain, and the future unknown

So it has been rather wet and damp in Duluth the last few weeks. I sometimes wonder if there will be any moisture left for the winter because we will be needing snow very badly after last winter's lack thereof. I have been talking a lot with many of the wonderful researchers who work at Hawk Ridge, and speculating a lot as to why some of the owl populations are low this year. My theory is because of the lack of snow that this area has had the last few winters. I mean, if their food source has no where to go for warmth and protection, their populations will naturally be low.
Anyway, there has been a lot of learning happening this semester, and not just at school. The weather has started getting that cold, crispness to it which I absolutely love. I am looking forward to snow and to snowboarding. On some level, I know that it will be busy, but I am going to try and keep things on the low key so that I can successfully pass my level 2 exam.
Everything else is coming along, although I am so torn about internships that I want to do this coming summer. I feel as if there is a little more riding on it. My goal was to do interpretation this past summer and to do more education and rehabilitation this coming summer. I am still torn and the whole process of applying and getting resumes ready isn't helping make my decision any easier. Oh well, life can't be easy every day and if it were easy to get where you wanted to be, would it still be worth getting there?
My good friend Brad is back in town for a short time and I am really excited to see him. I feel with all the people that have graduated this past year that I miss seeing them around school. I am of course sincerely happy that they are off doing what they do best, but I do miss them all. But Brad is back and I will get to drink some brews with him tomorrow and then hang out for a bit on Friday before he heads on his way home to family and friends there.
No other news here other than I am super busy and have, as always, a ton of work to do. Hope you all are well and pray that my test goes well on Thursday.
