\u00a0This notion was dispelled when Vania yelled from down the hall, &#8220;does anyone else feel the bumping.&#8221; \u00a0We immediately ran outside, but by the time we got there, the shaking had stopped. \u00a0Another recent adventure was a weekend sea kayaking course and trip to Prince William Sound. \u00a0This, alas, was not part of my SOS work, though it was funded by my first paycheck. \u00a0In addition to becoming certified by the American Canoe Association, we saw numerous glaciers and waterfalls, a seal, and a kittiwake rookery.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, I am so happy to be working in this incredible place. \u00a0 Here&#8217;s hoping that the adventures are just beginning&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Jordan S., BLM, Anchorage, AK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week has been an exciting week for the four SOS interns in Anchorage, Alaska. \u00a0Our training is complete, and we have been putting all that knowledge to use as we scout for populations from which to collect. \u00a0We were &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/?p=2473\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":270,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2473"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/270"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2473"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2473\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2530,"href":"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2473\/revisions\/2530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
