Only 7 Weeks left!!!!

How am I, you might ask? Well. Let me show you a picture instead of using words:

This is what happens when you are in bush Alaska for 8 months.

So, it's March 22 and it's -13 outside this beautiful sunny morning. It's so deceiving, it looks so nice and warm with all the crazy sunshine, it's just for looks I guess. We had spring break a week ago, that was fun, lots of sleeping, went to Dillingham with Michelle for some recreation, that's about it!

Yesterday (after Saturday school, yes, school on Saturday to make up for a snow day) we (Andrea and Justin Olson, Brenda and Brad Woolley, Jamie and Tim LeCount, Michelle and Dennis Schnieder and myself)

decided we'd all drive out to the Gull, this boat that has been grounded in the tundra, it's a couple miles from the village. A major tourist attraction! Here I am, with all of my layers of insulation:


Brenda, Michelle, and me:We climbed up on it, it's a little old, so I was very careful where I stepped! Here's a view from the top.
I went down inside too, found some dead bodies, ok not really, but it was pretty creepy down there. Here I'm coming back out.
I climbed up to the highest part, but I couldn't get down without help, it was very scary!Leaping for freedom:
One last shot:
School is school. Life is life. It's all good. You know the stuff. Hope you're all good, I miss you! You should call me, I lost my phone card. :)
