A blessing

I really really like almost everyone in my department. I get super excited about seeing them at seminars and other events. This is such a huge blessing. And I'm nervous about embarking on whatever comes next.

I applied for a job in Seattle that I'm completely unqualified for yesterday. It's a really cool job - ocean acidification ecologist for NOAA. Of course, I don't really want to move to Seattle. A bigger city? No thanks. But we would make it work for the right position, and this would definitely fall into the 'right position' category.
We'll see what happens. I have to get a job now. I won't be a student for the first time since January of 2005 (minus a few short-ish breaks). Whoa.
