I've been busy lately. I applied for the AmeriCorps all the way across the country and have been all fluttering about getting ready. That's my kind of life--environmental work in Arizona, camping for days and days in a row, volunteering, with other people. I've always wanted to visit Arizona, but everybody told me "There's nothing to DO in the desert!" I don't care--I just wanted to go there and groove on everything out there. This'll give me a chance to get outta North Carolina for a change.

I just wanna go out west. I figure this is just as good an excuse as any to go. Everybody wins! I get to live the kind of vagabond life I wanna live, and the environment gets a lot of help as well! New trails are built, invasive species are removed, habitats are recreated. Hooray!

I've apparently gotten a lot stronger lately, too. O____o My mother told me to move the couch and I lifted and moved it all by myself. I guess eating spinach really does have its benefits.
