One month in so far and my time has been spent a few different ways. Our office has had a shortage of front desk help so I was offered the opportunity to help out for the month of March before my internship started in April. More qualifications have now been added to my resume due to this great opportunity and I am much more familiar with the staff. The majority of my time has been spent working a lot with GIS to plan and prepare the sites we will visit this year for Range Health. There are a few perks of staying in the same office for a second year. 1: I already know everyone. 2: my desk was already set up from before. 3: I am already familiar with the organization and location of many files that are required to finish my Range Allotment Packets that I have created for ease of use during the field season. 4. I did not have to pack and unpack my possessions. Having a two month break between internships was a little tough financially, but had its own benefits for outdoor activities.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_61890\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/image-1.jpeg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61890\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-61890\" alt=\"My first time shooting a bow and arrow.

A nice fine layer of orange dust clung to our clothes and faces to prove a good day of work was done. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_61896\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/image-7.jpeg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61896\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-61896\" alt=\"Mounted sheds on the left, world record harvest on right.\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/image-7-300x196.jpeg\" width=\"300\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/image-7-300x196.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/image-7-768x504.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/image-7-1024x672.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/image-7-457x300.jpeg 457w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/image-7.jpeg 1196w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-61896\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mounted sheds on the left, world record harvest on right.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While in the office earlier this week, one of our wildlife biologists received this in an e-mail.
