there is a feeling that is growing inside me. knew there was a chance it could happen and maybe i don't want to admit it out loud for some odd reason but..... i'm gonna miss this place when i'm gone.
alaska is pretty awesome. even though i haven't done much in exploring since i've been here i love it. the weather is great. we've only had three days of 80 degrees and that was in may. since then it hasn't gotten above 75. some days have been a little overcast but there hasn't been any downpouring of rain since i've been here. just a little shower here and there.
between the weather, flowers, animals, scenery and great people not sure how it could get much better. i haven't even thought about watching tv or the radio since i've gotten here. not because i'm non stop go just because i'd much rather just sit and relax outside.
and since there is time to kill i've picked up a hobby or two. with every new flower that comes into bloom i pick a few good ones and press them. my goal is to have as many different flowers as i can. i've also taken up drawing again and am in my glory.
along with my new hobbies..an awesome new friend. someone who i feel totally at ease with and can have fun. for the past few nights we've been coloring, picking flowers and doing hair wraps. u know the kind that we would do in elementary school. she is making me go to kickball wednesday night then thursday night it is on...dancing our butts off at hip hop night. if only we had bonded sooner before she has to leave. but we will meet again...one day.
it is just so nice to have someone to chill with like i would back home and still have fun without having a drink. plus it saves money.
long pause....
so this blog post really has no point. just to say these past few days have been great. i also have a gallon and a half of milk to drink by the 20th so onward ho with chocolate milk. reminds me of my dad. when we were growing up after dinner sometimes he'd make a big glass of chocolate milk and put soooo much syrup in it. i can't drink it quite that dark but i still love my chocolate. also speaking of my parents they sent 7 boxes of tastykakes. one for each roommate. they loved them!!! and it was fun to share some east coast treats. no one knows of tastykake. what!!!!! u don't know what a peanut butter tandy cake is!!!!!
oh and tomorrow, monday, marks only 70 days left of my great alaskan adventure. but remember i count for two reasons. 1. cause i miss home 2. to be aware and make every day count
