I've decided to make a list of some thoughts I've been having about life in general... take them however you may:
-being away from family drives me crazy sometimes.
-be around people who care about you and who help you make good decisions.
-eating only guacamole for dinner is fine with me.
-I was introduced to ear plugs this year and they are magic!
-three isn't always a great number; some people just like two and even one.
-do what is best for you, but don't screw the people around you.
-be honest about what is bothering you.
-enjoy lame movies (i.e. Kung Pow).
-okay, I admit that I am obsessed with Twilight.
-when someone asks "where would you like to eat?"... don't say "it doesn't matter."
-more than one person can be working in the kitchen.
-my friends can help themselves around the house... I tire of playing host.
-Therma-flu does help some nights...
-if you can't make your present house feel like a home... then what the hell?
-I'm tired of feeling like I am still in college.
-they say every 10 seconds a dog is beaten... well, my dog is now a statistic... I joke!
-ah, why pine over someone who probably isn't worth your time?
-dreams about losing your teeth and vampires in one night may not be a good sign.
-you should probably listen to other peoples' conversations because they might expect you to listen to everything they say (so they don't have to mention the conversation a second time).
-bitch sessions always come back to bite you in the tush.
-perhaps I should get a journal so some of these thoughts are private... (but what if others have the same thoughts as mine, wouldn't they like to know someone is in the same boat?)
I have been teaching in bush Alaska for five years now. I came here thinking it would only be a three year plan, but I now find myself starting a fifth year. I live in Bethel with my mutt Suka.

Cama-i Weekend
So, we had a pretty fun weekend here in Bethel. We said goodbye to some friends, we sang karaoke, we gave bread away, some of us kicked butt singing Disney songs, some of us fell down stairs, one of us had fruit and veggie salad in their sleep... etc. Overall, it was great. We didn't have a giant snowball fight this year, but we did play a monster game of Apples to Apples. It's going to be sad next year when a bunch of us will be missing from our little clique. Maybe we'll find some new grasshoppers to train and be our friends. We'll see. I'll post some pic's from Cama-i weekend later (appropriate pictures... we promised Kale).
