Whatever Wednesday!!

It's Wednesday!!! Yipee!!! I thought maybe after two days of nothingness I would attempt an actual post about something you all may find interesting to read. While trying to write something meaningful I will try and be as brief as possible!!!

My Mom had given me a request form for an Expedition Guide for the Earthwatch Institute. I sent it out and I just got the guide in the mail yesterday. It is the coolest thing ever. They are a global volunteer organization that connects us regular Janes (and Joes)to field researchers all over the world. You can sign up for trips (commonly 10 or 14 days in duration) and be a part of a team who is working to uncover artifacts in Italy, save elephants in Arfica or record fossil finds in Mexico!

There are tons of expeditions for everyone whether you like to scuba and want to put that to use or you are interested in world cultures. You can even stay in the continental US if you feel more confortable on your own turf. Of course you pay your way, but what an experience! For me this would be amazing and it is going on my list of "things to do" in the next few years (once I can afford it:) I am still learning about this organization and hoping to get some time to read the guide in full today or tomorrow. If you would like to learn more about these incredible programs visit the Earthwatch Institute website

Tonight I start my part time library position. I am very excited, tho a bit nervous. My nerves usually are a good indication of a positive experience, so I am hoping that holds true! I will have to update you all tomorrow on how it goes! Now where did I put my tweed skirt, grandma's sweater and my glasses with the chain so I can wear them around my neck??? tee-hee. :)

I installed Stat Counter on my blog about 3 weeks ago and it is the coolest thing! It's amazing the stuff that you can track and find out about your blog traffic! I am not into the whole "Big Brother" idea, except when I am Big Brother..or in my case Big Sister???? hahahah! (insert maniacal laugh here)
