Thanks guys. Is green swamp the best WMA near me (USF tampa area)? I dont mind driving and walking far. I havent hunted in years now. I actually sold all my archery stuff when i moved to FSU, but now im in tampa and would love to get out there this season. I know putting the time in is what makes a successful hunter, but it is hard for a full time college student.

Citrus isn't bad either, little bit further of a drive....

I hunted both while in college and had more success at Green Swamp, while Citrus is nicer hunting (less swamps etc). The critters are there, you just gotta get to the stuff most others don't and get lucky.

What are you studying at USF?

Just switched from chemical engineering to cellular biology to set me up for dental school. I'm in my late junior year.

Let me know if you want/need an internship, I know decent ones are tough to come by. I'm a chemist in Lakeland for a water plant. I studied chemical engineering for most of college then realized I could graduate in a semester with an environmental science degree instead of another year and a half in school. I graduated Aug 2011. Cellular bio is definitely an interesting study, the labs are very interesting!

All I need is shadowing hours to look good on my résumé for dental school. If it were a paid internship I'd definitely be interested. Ill be going to school tues-Friday all day, so a regular job is pretty much out of the question for me. Your job is pretty interesting I bet huh? My buddy works for SWFMD in the field and absolutely loves it. He's going for an environmental degree.

It's not bad, only about 2 months into it.....my only complaint is it's basically the same thing everyday....but I'll be doing it for another 30+ years, as I ain't leaving this place, so I might as well get used to it. Lots of titrations, lots of spectrophotometer work, some gas chromatography and some other analytical chem work on our lime byproduct from our softening process which have some cool steps to it.

Sounds like an average day in orgo labs. No distillations, or recrystallizations?

Nope, water is easy. Most distillations and recrystallization is for synthesis. I just analyze what we are pumping to the public for safety and quality purposes.
