Second of all, an update on life.

I'm am in my senior year of college, I will be graduating in May, I can't believe that is coming up so soon. I spent last summer doing research on copepods in Newport, Oregon and I presented my research a tri-beta (BBB) regional conference. BBB is a biology honors society. I won first place for oral presentations, and my friend Kat won third place. I get a grant to present at the national conference next May in Colorado.

Thirdly I HAVE AN INTERNSHIP THIS SUMMER!!!

I'm really excited about interning at the Oceans of Fun in the Milwaukee County Zoo this summer. It's unpaid, but of course there aren't many paying opportunities that give you animal experience. My friend and I both got it, so we are pretty excited to be spending our time working around sea lions this summer. Hopefully this is my foot into the door for what I want to do with my life. Some of my professors have expressed that they feel I'm selling myself short, they want to see me go to graduate school. I may go eventually, I don't see why I have to go right now. I don't quite understand why they aren't happy for me because this internship is giving me the opportunity to do what I've been wanting since I started college, and why I chose to get a Biology degree. Anyway, in the end, it is my life, and I'm excited about the internship.
