End in Sight

Starting tomorrow is my last work week at Tonto. This time next week I will be moved into the apartment - for reals. I am both jubilant and just slightly nervous, since (at the moment) I'm not sure if I will have a follow-up job. The interview at the Science Center seemed to go well, but apparently they have a much more in depth hiring process than I expected, so I'm still waiting to see if I've been deemed worthy of a second interview.

Other than that, things have been business as usual. I have one more tour left to give. Yesterday Shawn and I went to hike up Piestewa Peak - one of the many mountains in many municipal parks in Phoenix. It's no Katahdin or anything, but it's the first mountain I've really hiked up in awhile and the first one in the unrelenting desert sun. Luckily we were smart enough to start earlier in the day - before the thermometer hit 100 degrees - so it wasn't too bad. Plus, I saw a chuckwalla!


Now it's off to work I go. Happy Earth Day!

    Yeah. Definitely bizarre hiking up a mountain again. I felt that old fire again, the kind that makes me want to run up to the peak and just stand there in the breeze. We should go out for a week and hike somewhere. A week should be enough time to get the feelin' back.
