Hey. I got a job!

It's a great job! I'm really excited about it actually. I was hired by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (again! wee!) as a Lab Technician for a biodiveristy project that's ongoing in the Marittimes. I'm going to be the species identifier! That's my favourite part! And I think having two government jobs under my belt before I finish my undergrad will also look really good to employers - at least, I'm hoping so. The project is really fascinating, and would make really good Honours project material. I think I might dive right in and get that over with sooner rather than later, so I'm not so stressed about it next year.

But apart from the research being awesome, I'm moving away to boot! It's going to be my first time living away from home, so I'm PUMPED. Don't get me wrong - I love my Mum to pieces - it's just that I need some space and time to myself. Oh, yeah, and having no homework while I'm doing this job means TIME FOR ART! WOO! I'm hauling my entire collection of art supplies with me so I can finally get some work done on my books and drawings. This semester has drained me, I swear. It will be nice to work for a while without having to worry about grades. AH, yeah.

Which reminds me, I have a couple drawings for a picture book I'm doing as tribute to Dr. Silva, my first real employer. She was so sweet, and really helped me get this job. I should finish those ASAP so she doesn't forget about me before she gets the drawings in the mail '~'. I'll try to post some of those soon.

Anyway, I was just so excited, I though I'd share the news to whomever reads this. Thanks for reading!
