My parents don’t even know how good of a deal they got when they
bought my rain coat. Its pockets are
bags of holding! For those of you who
are slightly less geeky, they are like one of Hermione’s bags, enchanted to
hold an impossible number of things. For
example, I thought I had lost my last pair of safety glasses so I was borrowing
Dan’s spare. A couple of days later I
was rummaging through my pockets, which I constantly keep my hands in so they
don’t freeze, and… they were there. Maybe
my coat has been hexed or something. It
does have a mischievous personality.
Like, I always keep pens in my pockets but I cannot find them when I
need them. But yes, good find! I only hope it lasts as the brambles we’ve
been weaving through are starting to take their toll.
I’m very glad I had the coat today because it has not stopped
raining since we left at 6:30am to take our Pesticide Applicator Test. I think I passed the core part of the test,
but the right-of-way exam was extremely difficult. Many of the questions touched upon things
that were only briefly mentioned in our study materials. Will have to wait and see; it’s too close for
me to feel comfortable about it.
After the tests my group went to Riney Tract Conservation
Area. It was a long haul, but we were
determined to at least put a dent in the Cedar population there because we
didn’t want to let Marcus down—so that is exactly what we did… not let Marcus
down, the other thing: put a dent in the Cedar numbers. We had very little time when we showed up on
site, but we made sure those Cedars understood who was in charge.
And now we’re
here. Tomorrow is our last day
together. Richard, Chelsea and Dan will
be scattered to who knows where. I guess
I will be too. I’m going to miss Richard
and Dan bantering and Dan tormenting Richard and Chelsea about how great chain
stores are. We were a great team. Night all; got a long weekend ahead and I
need my rest.
