Day 16

I did it! I haven't died yet! I finished my first week (well, it was only 3 days) of teaching in Togiak. It's a pretty sweet deal, I'm telling you. Highlight of the week: the lunch is FREE!!! I'm so excited! Not only is it free, but it's ok to get seconds! Even thirds if you are that hungry! I was informed that it would make me fat, but I don't know if that's really possible. We'll put it to the test. A very cheap, tasty test. :)

At least I know I'll get one good meal a day.

My students are pretty sweet. I feel lame because I still don't know all their names. My class sizes are perfect: 10, 6, 17, 6, 8, 9. That's right. My biggest class has 17 kids. You have time to be jealous later. My 4-wheeler still isn't here, they keep telling me "tomorrow!" but I know better. So for now I don't really have a way to pick up all the stuff that is probably sitting at the post office for me. I'm going net fishing with the vice principal tomorrow, which is freaking sweet. I might go shooting this evening. We're either going to the dump or to the beach. The dump is funny, lots of stuff from a long time ago, just sitting in a big pile. I haven't been to the beach yet, so I hope that's where we're going.

My tea came! I almost died without it.

I ran out of milk and cereal. Now having to eat oatmeal. Bleh.

I got pretty home-sick last night, I couldn't fall asleep because I just kept thinking about everybody in Michigan that I wished I could see. I hope you are all doing good.


Stray dogs outside the apartment? Sure why not. There are 6 more where this came from.



Oh, I took a couple pictures of my room at school so you could see how sweet it is. I like bragging.


It's pretty well stocked... tho the microscopes only go up to 400x. Whatever. It has a fume hood. That I probably won't use. Bam. They also don't have the gas hooked up. Great.

The view out the window shows the tundra and the bay, pretty much the same thing you see from my apartment.

I can't wait til I get my shortwave radio. Should be here soon!

Stay alive!
