Dream Job on Hamilton Island

Anyone for a Dip?

Like this hasn't already been blogged about out the wazoo...

My parents came up to me on the 12th and promptly exclaimed, "Krista!  We have the greatest job for you!"

"Okay, what is it?"

I'll make a long story short: It's the best job anyone could ask for.  You get to explore the Barrier Reef Islands off the coast of Australia for six months, they provide all your accommodations, and to top it all off, you get approximately $102,000 USD.  All you have to do is blog about it, and post videos.

*insert jaw drop here*  No, it's not a fake job (though my sister still swears it is).  Here's the website.  Believe it, or don't believe it.  But at least check out some of the video applications. Some of them are good for a laugh if nothing else.

Needless to say, every English-speaking person and their mother is applying for this job.  And I get the feeling Tourism Queensland will end up picking someone with marine biology experience, which I just happen to have none of.  Go me.

If the inspiration for a really good one minute application video hits... I might.  For a lark.

Spring '09 Commencement

Wait - commencement isn't 'til May.  Drat.  I guess I'll just have to take the courses I signed up for.  I'm looking forward to it though (yes, I'm a dork, I know); particularly the internship, which, if all goes as thus planned, I'll be the editor-in-chief of the student newspaper.  And let me tell you - I've got plans for it. Big plans for it. Not that I'm dissing Phi Theta Kappa members, but my school seems to be overrun with them, especially when it comes to previous student newspaper content.

Oh, society.  Quit trying.  I'm not going to bend.  You'll just have to break trying to get me to.
