A New Chapter

Survived another week of Covid-19 2020. the economy is crashing around us and the US has more cases than any other country and continues to rise, including the deaths. our president is an idiot but what else is new.  people from new york and mass are driving to their homes in maine to isolate themselves but naturally they are bringing the crap with them. unless its essential to travel somewhere don't freaking do it. beaches and state parks are closing in Maine because people are swarming to them and hanging out in groups. i am trying to find hiking trails for my next 9 days off that aren't going to be swarming with tons of people. Like i get you want to be outside thats great but be cautious of where you are going. highly popular places aren't going to cut it. there are plenty of off trails that aren't as well known. i did have some highlights, i got several compliments from people manager positions and all about how awesome i have been stepping up helping all the area...

Last week was the first week the coronavirus pandemic situation really started to hit the United States, physically, mentally, economically you name it. It is effecting everyone in different ways whether health or financial its a huge impact. My job switched to curbside service not letting anyone in the building except employees.

Along with going through some personal things in my relationship i finally graduated Penn Foster after 4 years and it feels damn good. February 22 was the actual day i was done. Externship was a lot of work but i really enjoyed it. the large animal was really fun and i learned a lot. I remember i was at work on that Saturday and got the email and just hooted and hollered in excitement. The doctor i was working with was happy for me too. it is a huge relief off my shoulders for sure. the next thing is to sit for the VTNE this summer. It's better to keep the information fresh and going then wait and take it later on. Once i am done i can really just relax. The test cost $320 which is beyond ridiculous but I have someone who will be helping me pay which is great. The weather is getting warmer which is great because ill start back up hiking again. I did some snowshoeing this winter but the sn...
