Well, yesterday was my last day of work. It was thunderstorming all day, so unfortunately we couldn't do any fieldwork to have me go out with a bang. Instead, I spent the morning entering in all that vegetation data, hanging out with the biologist in our office. After lunch, I laminated all the pages for this little guidebook I've been working on all summer - how fitting, to finish it on my last day!

As we were filling out my "exit paperwork," my boss gave me a little gift bag full of goodies - some water bottles and such from the office/FWS, and then she personally bought me a hoodie/sweatshirt of the local city - how nice! (:

There were lots of goodbye hugs...I'm going to miss these people.

Last night I picked up my mom and brother from the airport, and now we're spending the day in the City (where I had my conference), visiting the Mall of America and such. Tonight we're going back to my "hometown," because the fire guy wants to throw me a goodbye party!
