Hi Ho! HI Ho! Its back to work I go!

Wow it has been a long time. I've been so incredibly busy I can't find time to clean up my room never mind make my way down to the computer lab. Haha. But Today is my first day off since break so I made may way over to my blog.

So First off my break was great. Flying was a pain. I flew into a blizzard on my way home and out of a blizzard on my way back. While I was home I spent a lot of time with my family, which is always nice and a lot of time sleeping which was really nice since sleep is not always easy to find. It was pretty cool just being back in a place where you know everything. On my way back from Mass, I got stuck in Phoenix overnight because the US Airways flight attendants all decided to go on strike. Which was really inconvenient because I got back to the base a day late, which means I had to use one of my three leave days :(

Though I liked Utah, It is really nice to be back to my home base. The living conditions in Sacramento are so nice, I definitely appreciate them more. I get my own room so instead of sleeping in a room with 10 people Its only my and my room mate Maggie. And Its nice just being able to go out. If I want I can walk to go out for dinner or I can catch the Light rail and go into Sac with my friends. Its really nice that there are ten teams on base because its such a fun variety of people to hang out with. I went into Sacramento Last night for 2nd Saturday with about 10 people from all different teams. 2nd Saturday is once a month Sacramento's stores and art galleries all stay open late and people play music on the streets. Before that, Mike, from my teams Dad brought us all out to dinner because he was here on a business trip. We ate like Kings.

The only Thing sucky about being on campus is that we have Duty about once or twice a week. Which means we have to stay on campus all night cleaning the halls and securing the base, its just like a watch but ours was on Friday night this week and its gunna be on Saturday next week. Bleh!

Oh wow I have so much more to write to everyone! I've been working at the Sac Zoo, which is amazing and I'm starting my training to get my Red Card Certification for Wild Land Firefighting tomorrow, But I'll save those little stories for my next post BECAUSE Dadadaa Da (drum roll please) I FOUND OUT MY NEXT PROJECT!

So On February 8th we take a two day drive from Sacramento all the way up to VASHON ISLAND, WA! Its a pretty big Island in the Puget sound off the cost of Washington. We will have to take a ferry to get there. Apparently we are going to be staying at another Summer Camp, but this one, instead of in the mountains is on the beach literally. I am SOOOO freaking excited. I know its going to rain every minute of every day but whatever!

We are going to be building trails and also building fire lines (huge trails that fires can't hop) around the community for 8 weeks! I can't wait. Its pretty cool because I really wanted to go to the northwest but because we are FRT I didn't think we would be there, But now LOOK OUT WASHINTON!

This is an aerial view of camp Sealth where we'll be living.

And then here is the island!

Ok well that's all for now folks!
