Job Interviews and mountain sunsets

Well...
Today I had my job interview with WMI, thats the wilderness medicine institute for those of you not in the know. I had been thinking about applying and dreaming about applying and scaring the shit out of my self and then not applying for the last few years.... of course a large part of this was my own self denial.
What I mean by that of course is that I didnt feel like I was ready. I didnt think that I should be the person up there teaching people how to save lives.
I mean what it comes down to is that the people who work for WMI are simply put, the gold standard when it comes to Wilderness medicine. It dosent go any higher then this, its the top. ER doc and trauma  docs come and learn from the people that teach at this school. So..... this is it, this is  the last stop on the food chain of wilderness medicine education.

So what does that all mean ? It means that I applied about two months ago and finally  got an interview with the  head of the program this evening. I have to admit that it was more then a little bit scary, I was exhausted by the whole thing... and at the end of the day, I think that it went as good as it could go. I mean really what it comes down to is.... how many spots do they have open? or how many spots are they looking to fill? and Who else applied ? I mean I am only 23 years old, this is my dream job.... what do you do if you dont get it? what do you do if you do get it?

I dont know.  In true Tim fashion I have over analyzed the entire thing, I over preped for the interview which was more laied back then I Could have ever thought I was expecting  people to be asking things like ..... give me the signs and symptoms of decompsorty shock and what are the evac guide lines if you have been stung by this spider vs the ones for some one who broke thos bone secondary to having this heart attack .....
it was not like that
and now.... I am a nevrous wreck
and the waiting game starts
I hate that


On a lighter not the sunset this evening is breath taking, it is simply.... wonderful
I think, that if memoory serves me the way that I hope it does.... and i will be the first one to admit that it fails me on a regular bases......   anyways I am fairly sure that all of my staff members have  showed up, they are here... well what that really means is that they are at the bar... drinking on their last night of freedom,

off for now, lesson plans perhaps i shall go play with one of the horses or simply sleep.... one can never have too much sleep
