Day 62

Well, look at that. I've lasted 2 months in Alaska. No Beaners. No movie theaters. No Meijer. Just teaching. And Theo's coffee. And beautiful scenery.

Anyway. It's October, which my boss told me, is the start of winter. I'm dressed in snowpants and down parka, scarf and hat to go anywhere.
Teaching seems to be going smoother. Most of the time anyway. I'm pretty sure that teaching is one of the hardest jobs you can have. You work millions of hours for mediocre pay and everybody gives you a hard time for not being a rocket scientist. Whatever. I guess I knew all this before I went into it. Sort of.

I don't know, it's been a pretty slow week, just kind of mellowed out, doing work for school, reading books, etc.

Went to the post office today, picked up a bunch of boxes for my roommate. Here's my ATV loaded up outside the apartment.
Oh, and here's that picture of the dents I made in the wall of the apartment building. Those 4 dents are from me running into the wall with a 4-wheeler. Pay special attention to how close I was to the water thingy.
I'm out.

if you're wearing that many layers at the beginning of winter, what do you do in the middle of winter? how many coats is it actually possible to wear?

keep in mind i was outside for 12 hours straight, i'm probably not going to do that in the middle of winter. it snowed last night, but it rained today and it all melted and got really foggy. still too warm for snow.
