Leap Of Faith

So I spoke with my supervisor this morning. No, I didn't get to present my idea, that will be Tuesday. I got my term extended back out!! I have no idea if it'll be for a few extra months or the full six. A huge weight has been lifted, I hate being in limbo. Although, I'll admit, the thought of moving somewhere new did sound somewhat appealing. There was actually an internship I was looking at that was 40 minutes from my parent's house in Mass.

I applied for that internship, but it starts in march of 2011. That's the backup plan. Hopefully, after working six months in the Grand Canyon, I'll be able to get a job. I did say that about college, though. Four years and two degrees, hopefully I'll be able to get a job. I'm not sure what it takes nowadays to actually get employment. A few gray hairs and a PhD?

So it's Friday, July 4th weekend, and I live in Grand Canyon National Park. Perhaps, this one time, my leap of faith actually was the right thing to do. Ironic, isn't it? A leap of faith, both metaphorically and literally. For those of you who don't know, Faith is my middle name, and yes, this was a gigantic leap.

Maybe if my parents had known those 21 years, 51 weeks ago that I would end up like this, perhaps they wouldn't have named me what they did.

And in one week, I turn 22. I felt like this was a good time to add to my bucket list.

Addition: Hike to and camp at Havasu Falls! All I need is a cohort willing to hike 10 miles down into the Canyon, rough it for two nights, and hike back out. Anyone up for an adventure?
