LNT Master Educator

I just spent the last 5 days in the backcountry of Philmont getting the LNT Master Educator certification. This job is so awesome: so I just got a $1000+ certification for FREE, and I got PAID during it! NOLS, eat your heart out! So now I am preparing for my boss to show up, getting materials together and the office cleaned up and my drivers certification for Philmont in line, then I am going to be going on a ton of training. Anyhow, I will continue to update as the summer goes on.

Another semester down, another summer coming...

Well, I am out of college for real, and I am headed back to those famed Sangre de Cristo mountains of New Mexico. This year I am the Environmental Education Coordinator in the Conservation Department of Philmont. I am gonna be there through August 22nd. This summer may be the roughest one yet, as I am going to be leaving my girlfriend and the love of my life behind, not knowing what the future is gonna bring the two of us. Right now I don't know if I am going to return to North Carolina after the summer, or if I am going to extend my contract till November. It all depends on what the Peace Corps says about my getting a position with them and where my girlfriend ends up getting a job (in the US or overseas). It is a really stressful time right now. I wish I knew where this life is heading. But for now, I have a job to think of and a move to get on with and a summer to prepare my mind for...I just pray that God continue to give me strength and guidence.
