HOLA~! Future Alaska Job

So once upon a time I decided to look for summer jobs, actually I am always looking for summer jobs, I tried Boeing (I'm too early in the program to get even considered haha), I tried the Government internships(....I think they lost my application or thought me applying was a joke? haha I don't know.), I went to career fairs, but ya know, deep down none of them really felt right (except the DOD scholarship I applied for, still waiting on that one since I just applied) and Ben actually did a really great job at helping me out, he would call me about jobs or internships he would hear about. So long story short....this is what I will be looking at for 4 months in Alaska this summer:

BOOOOOYEAAHHHHHH
It was actually a pretty funny story.  Ben told me that he tried for the job a couple years ago, and got it, but then rejected it because he had some school stuff to do or something like that. Anyway, he told me I should do it, so I just piddled around on the application, and then one day I just finished the application. Literally a couple hours later I walked into the Wilk, and there they were, Holland-America/Princess trying to advertise for their Guide/Driver positions. I said, hey I applied for you today, oddly, she knew way too much information than I expected, and told me that they may or may not have a possition availiable for me....yeah well they called me that night saying they had a few open positions (I think it is a sales tactic or something...because when I went to my first orientation they said they could still hire tons more people.) So I got interviewed, they loved me, got hired, etc. So then G-ma called me and said that I needed to go work with some dude named Mel Ashton, and then I just got confused, because he called me and told me I should go to Skagway, so after a day of freaking out (because I HATE making decisions, and I knew I would have to call Tiffany, the hiring manager and tell her I was switching over to Skagway line.....booo) I decided to go to Skagway....then a huge pressure was lifted off of my shoulders...it was great. So this is also what I get to look at for those 4 months :)
This is probably the weirdest and funniest job I have ever applied for, but I am not complaining at all. Some day I will be married, and PROBABLY wont be able to do this again!
