Me and the 570 lb stubborn bear

Posted by Picasa Today I went to work at the Game Commission to get ready for the Bear Check Station next week. Starting Monday is bear season, so I'll be working with the bears that come in on Tuesday and Wednesday. Should be lots of fun. Definitely will be interesting if that bear in the trap in the pic is shot. He sure was a stubborn bear. Didnt want to cooperate at all when we wanted to tranqulize and tag him. Then he didnt want to leave the trap when we were setting him free. Who knows.

okay this is my first attempt at using this. i thought id try it out now so i know how to when it comes time to actually be traveling and because i am not at all motivated to be writing the many papers i have due during the next few weeks. as of right now i have only 77 days to go until I leave Pittsburgh and head down to the Bahamas. I am so excited and cannot wait till I'm sitting on the beach getting some sun, but time definitely does not need to speed up since I still have the rest of the semester to complete at UPG. I need as much time as i can get to write my papers which i need in order to graduate.
