Day 22

I'm sad to report some unhappy news, the shortwave radio is not strong enough to work out here. All I get on it is static. I feel incredibly isolated. Civilization is merely a foggy memory, full of exhaust fumes and busy people.

Also disappointing, my speakers that I sent to myself are busted. So I have no way of listening to good quality music.

On a more exciting note, my 4-wheeler finally came! I drove it to get the mail and go berry picking today.

A bunch of teachers left for the weekend to get a moose or a bear. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with a three-day weekend. I suppose can get some work done for school. Yippy.

Tomorrow I will get my first real paycheck. I should be excited. I'm not really sure how I feel about it. I don't know if I'm mentally prepared to be a part of the working world. I guess it doesn't really matter if I am or not because I'm definitely a part of it now. It is what it is.

I'll leave you with a couple pictures from when we went out to second creek last Sunday. A bunch of people went, Andrea, Justin and Joel, Brenda, Lisa, Melissa, Dennis, Michelle and myself. Here's one of my roommate, Melissa, fishing:


And one just to prove again that I am in Alaska. For real.One last note: I'm beginning to discover that I'm a little bit of workaholic. Maybe it's just because there really isn't anything else to do. Yeah, that's probably got something to do with it. Man, when the corporate world hears of this it will be huge for the business sector, I can just see it now. "Want to boost productivity in your company? Well, just send everyone to bush Alaska where there's not really a whole lot else to do besides work!" Yeah, you can't even listen to the radio!

Whoa, I just got a great idea.

Dude, why didn't I think of this earlier, I should get sirius radio! I bet that would work here because it's satellite! I'm so looking into that...

Ok, well that's all I have for now. Peace!
