Coming to a Close

Hello. So this will be my last post for the summer. I just finished my internship resulting in the best Conservation Committee Plan EVER..lol. It will become a part of the Mahussc Land Trust and Androscoggin Valley Council of Governments reports, and also a stand alone plan to help on the local level with individuals that are interested in setting and planning a conservation committee. After 6 revisions, lots of meetings and coffee it is DONE...17 pages later :) I'm going to have to say that I will miss this town, the people I have met will be forever in my mind and the lessons I have learned I will try to carry with me. If anyone ever gets a chance to visit Maine..along with the many places such as Acadia National Park, Booth Bay, ... Bethel should be put on the list. This town is literally the "beautifulest mountain town ever!" I will admit that blogging was kind of fun...when I had the time. I am continue with another blog while I'm at school. Remember to BE GREEN and REUSE, REDEEM, RECYCLE! Hope your summer was fun and that you continue to love life and most importantly LIVE IT :) Bye-Bye!

EPIC Adventures!!!!


Hey! Sorry its been a while I have been extremely busy with meetings, the conservation plan, working at Rite-Aid, and HAVING FUN!!!! This past weekend the Androscoggin Watershed Council held the opening event to the TREK ACROSS MAINE! The trek is a program designed to raise awareness of the Androscoggin river. It is a month long trek that goes from one end of the Androscoggin to finish in the Atlantic Ocean! I of course can not participate in the whole trek but I did do the beginning! Needless to say it sounds a lot easier than it looks....canoeing for 4+ hours. But it was fun because we got to see loons, moose, blue herons, fish, etc. I also got to talk to and meet a Senior Biologist who works for the Loon Center of Biodiversity; he talked to us about what his job consists of....catching and banding loons. After we finished canoeing I then drove three hours that night to go camping and canoeing with my friends. We went rafting in West Forks...and it was AWESOME!! I almost fill out of the raft twice but it was sooo much fun! I got to jump out of the raft and ride the rapids with my life-vest!!!! We spent about 4 hours rafting and then I drove to see more friends and than later that weekend drove home to work at Rite-Aid!!!!

Rite-Aid life is okay. It gets kind of boring doing the same thing everyday and week..but it is money. I just got my background check back and it was cleared....which I knew it would do since I haven't done anything wrong. So now I have to fill out a form to get a licence and then 3 weeks and I BECOME A PHARMACY TECH!!!!!!

Thurmond the cat and Page the mouse are doing good. They stay away from each other which is good given that I don't want the cat to hurt Page. Ummm...other than staying busy with my internship, Rite-Aid and having fun....I'm just reading a lot....42 books so far this summer!!!!!!!
