<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortunately, my hotspot data reset today, and with the ridiculously hot weather outside, I have the connection (and motivation) to sit in the office and work on this blog right now and only now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we pass the midway point of our internship, we’ve been busy collecting lots of seeds, of course. Today, we gathered Penstemon, snowberries, and Oregon Grape. However, I\u2019ve been a bit down lately because thimbleberry is no longer fruiting, and the days feel just a little duller without it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My mentor has popped into the cubicle to chat, so I\u2019m out of time to write. I know this post isn\u2019t very long or detailed, so I\u2019ll make it up to you with a little something extra:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ella, Ash, and I have been working on an album (you can find more details in their blog posts), and we all decided to write one song that really spoke to us. My contribution is \u2018Ash Song,\u2019 a parody of \u2018Fight Song,\u2019 inspired by the powerful being that is Ash Terry. I hope you enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ash Song<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Like a lichen that is growin\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mysterious, I\u2019m not postin’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yeah, I went to Clemson <\/p>\n\n\n\n So I\u2019m well-spoken <\/p>\n\n\n\n When mosquitos bite me <\/p>\n\n\n\n I get very swollen <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sorry I can’t help but slay <\/p>\n\n\n\n Monkey Island, I\u2019ll liberate <\/p>\n\n\n\n South Car\u2019lina, it\u2019s on sight <\/p>\n\n\n\n Can you hear my voice this time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is my Ash song (hey) <\/p>\n\n\n\n My Ooh-ooh ahh-ahh song (hey) [Like monkey sounds] <\/p>\n\n\n\n I take out the trash song (hey, ha) <\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve never been wrong (hey) <\/p>\n\n\n\n Costa Rica, I\u2019ll belong (hey) <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ll play my Ash song (hey) <\/p>\n\n\n\n You know I\u2019ve got “God’s Plan” by Drake on repeat (ha) <\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of Ash left in me <\/p>\n\n\n\n Moved to Oregon, I’m pulling weeds <\/p>\n\n\n\n On the hunt for serviceberry <\/p>\n\n\n\n Collecting seeds, I\u2019m collecting seeds (I’m collecting seeds) <\/p>\n\n\n\n And it’s been so long, I miss my home <\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, that\u2019s complicated, so I don\u2019t know <\/p>\n\n\n\n Still believe, yeah, I still believe <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sorry that I can’t help but slay <\/p>\n\n\n\n Monkey Island, I\u2019ll liberate <\/p>\n\n\n\n South Car\u2019lina, it\u2019s on sight <\/p>\n\n\n\n Can you hear my voice this time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is my Ash song (hey) <\/p>\n\n\n\n My Ooh-ooh ahh-ahh song (hey) <\/p>\n\n\n\n I take out the trash song (hey, ha) <\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve never been wrong (hey) <\/p>\n\n\n\n Costa Rica, I\u2019ll belong (hey) <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ll play my Ash song (hey) <\/p>\n\n\n\n You know I\u2019ve got “God’s Plan” by Drake on repeat (ha) <\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of Ash left in me, lotta Ash left in me <\/p>\n\n\n\n Like a lichen that is growin\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mysterious, I\u2019m not postin’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yeah, I went to Clemson <\/p>\n\n\n\n So I am well-spoken <\/p>\n\n\n\n When mosquitos bite me <\/p>\n\n\n\n I get very swollen\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is my Ash song (hey) <\/p>\n\n\n\n My Ooh-ooh ahh-ahh song (hey) <\/p>\n\n\n\n Take out the trash song (hey, ha) <\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve never been wrong (hey) <\/p>\n\n\n\n Costa Rica, I\u2019ll belong (hey) <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ll play my Ash song (hey) <\/p>\n\n\n\n You know I\u2019ve got “God’s Plan” by Drake on repeat (ha) <\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘Cause I’ve still got a lot of Ash left in me, I\u2019ve still got a lotta Ash left in me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As I\u2019m starting this blog, we have about 30 minutes left before we need to clock out and avoid running into overtime.
