At this point I don't really know what I'll do next. I'm leaning toward heading back up to Alaska for the summer (and maybe longer). Hopefully if that ends up happening someone will have a spot on their commercial fishing crew for me. Even if I can't fish, I can't say I'd be disappointed to just hang out with as much family as I can and maybe finally get my chance to spend a summer taking photos instead of doing the dirty work.
Ideally I'd like the next step in my career to be in the direction of working a little more closely with mammals, but I'm willing to do something else interesting in the interim. Maybe I'll find a calling I didn't know I had! If nothing else, I could stand to gain more experience in a lot of areas.
For now I'm content to ride the waves and see where I end up next. At times like these I feel incredibly lucky to have so much family to fall back on and a place that I can always go home to. I try not to be a drain on anybody, but knowing that you have people to stand beside you (and behind you and all around you) when you need time to figure out what's next is indescribably comforting.
That's all for now! Just wanted to give a short update. I'm going to try to get into the habit of using this thing now that I'm not on Facebook as much. I feel like I have much more freedom to ramble on my own blog ;)
