TNC

So...for those praying, sending happy thoughts, etc...I just wanted to let you know I got the job!!!!

I had my interview on Wednesday with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and she called me today to let me know she wanted to offer me the job! I go in tomorrow (Friday) morning to sign the paperwork and get myself set-up. My start date should be July 6th. :) So I'm excited! I won't be internship/jobless this summer and I'm getting paid so I'll have money for the school year. I won't be so broke! The sad thing is I'll make almost more money in the 2.5 months I'm at TNC than 9 months full-time at Borders. So sad...It's pretty funny because she name dropped a professor at CSUMB and he was one of my letter of recs for grad school (I told her that). Then she mentioned at the interview that she knows Bren's reputation because she's worked with Steve Gaines (current Dean of Bren) and Chris Costello. Costello has been my prof for the last two quarters. LoL I ALMOST used him for one of my references for the job, but thought since he's so economic-y that it wasn't appropriate for the position. I used another prof instead. Shame, but oh well. It didn't hurt my chances. :P She also knew Judy (mentor/professor/boss), which was also nice.

In other news, I got my last grade for my enviro law class and it's a B+. : Sad it's not an A or even A- since that'd mean no more B's, but...Oh well. I suppose I should be happy since it was being taught by a law professor from Duke and it's not like the final was super easy, but still!

I'm also all moved back in. Now it's just a matter of remembering where I stored something...My fish all made the move back also. They're doing well in the tank and didn't look to have suffered any lasting trauma from being transported back in a big bucket with colder-than-normal water. My fish and suckerfish turned really, really pale. Apparently since the shrimp can't get any paler (they are clear!), they turned white. My male shrimp molted in the bucket, which obviously says the bucket wasn't too bad. The tank looks the same, but I took out the big plant on the right since it was basically dying. I took all the shoots it sent off and made a grassy area in that corner instead. The shrimp hide in it pretty well, but they still prefer the plant on the left since it's pretty big now. My sucker fish still don't do anything, but oh well. It's kind of normal now. My female shrimp (the big one) molted today and, last I saw, wasn't pregnant again, but the male has been chasing her around for about 2 days now. She lost her eggs 3 days ago so this is the longest she's gone without having new eggs. I expect by the morning she'll have more.

Anyway, time for bed. :)
