Another week has passed at the blink of an eye. I really am amazed at how quickly time goes by here; I can hardly keep up with everything. It snowed for the first time this pass Monday, for just a little bit. On Wednesday it snowed even more, it actually stuck for a little. I’m surprised at how much it hurts to have snow blown at me with 35mph winds.
I just turned another age older, now I am a beautiful prime number :) Here.... 23! Is it possible for me to just keep it this age forever? I’m done getting older. 23 works just find for me. I spent my birthday like every other Friday. Work, Yup’ik dancing, karate and dinner with the teachers. I did get the chance to enjoy cake twice that day though :) I invited my students and their families to come join me at school at 1130-1200 for some cake and Jell-O. We had a nice littler turn out too. Then at the dinner with the teachers i had another cake :) Yum! I felt so sick and exhausted that day that i went to bed at 9:30pm. Saturday was supposed to be my relax day, but i felt sick most of the day, so i just watched movies.
I did however buy my parka and boots! Hurray! Now I might actually get the chance to be warm this winter! I also bought my flight home to Washington this December. I am so ridiculously excited about coming home to do the simple things...like drive...go out to eat...see friends...see trees! I do like it up here, but it definitely lacks some things that i have grown accustomed to over the years. Eeeek! I am so excited! Anyways, I need to plan on what I'm teaching for Math tutoring tomorrow...so I’ll post more another time.
~~~~Seeing-into-tomorrow~~~This blog follows my experiences as a first year teacher in Gambell Alaska. Gambell is positioned in the Bering Sea, 38 miles away from Russia and 19 miles away from the international date line (hence the title of this blog :))
