So!
I had an amazing summer working at Assateague Island. I worked and lived with amazing people. BEST SUMMER EVER! I had an amazing semester working through some new challenges and working on new projects with students I knew but had not worked with before. I got to help a professor with researching changes in vegetation in northeastern North America, I got paid to do it and I will get to present the results at a big conference. AMAZING. I completed a Master's Degree is December. SAY WHAT?!?

But now...all of that is over. School is done and I have completed my degree. I will continue to help the professor as needed to complete the research and prepare for the presentation. 

But now...now I begin job hunting. ugh. I've been working and reworking and reworking my resume and updating all the sites I have it posted to. Its painful. I had it analyzed and its plain to see that all that time I spent in retail is going to hinder me..(back to the drawing board). I don't want to be in retail, it's not for me. It was alright when I started out. I was happy to have a job to help pay the bills. But it became my personal hell. But I got out. I went to Assateague for three months and actually got to do work that I wanted to do and thoroughly enjoyed and that mattered to me. And then I did some research at my school. I refuse to go back to retail.

Needless to say...I'm stressing out big time. I know I haven't been looking for very long (only a few days) but every time I redo my resume (and it's been a complete overhaul each time) I get more and more stressed out. But I refuse to go back to retail.

Never. Again.
