That'd be cool...

I got off of work early tonight so that I could do a ton of homework, but before I started working on it I decided to check all of my e-mails really quickly. At first there was nothing interested, but I decided to open an e-mail from my professor with a subject line "Education Internship." Upon opening the attached file I found an information sheet for a bird of prey education internship at The Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota. As I read through it I had this feeling of, "wow.. that would be great" so I went to the website, where I found another internship available there entitled raptor care and management internship. After reading through that one, I was really excited.

I've been slowly looking at possible internships or ideas for the summer, and as of yet I haven't found anything really interesting. Tonight I wasn't even looking for anything, and I found something that I think I would really love.

Now I realize that I haven't even applied for the internship yet and even if I do, it doesn't mean that I would actually get the internship - but as I already have 4 months experience at a bird of prey park (in Germany) and am really considering going back there for another few months (if they'll take me back), wouldn't it be awesome if I got the chance to get this internship during the summer as well?

I've been considering taking my career in the direction of education and showing animals - maybe even raptors (though I never originally thought that's what I would want to do). Wouldn't it be awesome if God had that in store for me?

Like I said.. I know it's a long shot and there's a very good chance I won't get the internship, but I think I'm going to try my best to get it.

I was just so excited over the mere possibility that I had to tell someone about it.
