WOW, I never thought I would be so happy for Internet! It really has been killing me not to be able to blog. But now that I have Internet I will be able to update you on all the things that have happened. I had my first day, my first observation, I'm all moved into my house and even my first snow. I still love it here! I have gotten use to getting up at 7 and walking to school every day an I have to say right now it is a nice walk. Walking to school in those temps feel really good right now and it wakes me up every morning. I thought it would be weird to be in a place where there are very little cars but to be honest I don't miss them. Its nice being able to walk everywhere. It has gotten to a point that If I see a car driving around it seems weird to me. I mean there really is no need for them the town. It is less than a mile from one side to the other. But all of three places that have cars , the school, the police, and one family that bought a hummer for some reason (don't ask me why you need a hummer in Atqasuk, AK but it is a really cool car!)
1st day of school
It want great. I love my class. I have 9 children. 3 are girls and 6 are boys. We went over procedures and the kids were rock stars on the first day. My goal for this year is to show them that school can be fun. I have been offered the opportunity to be in charge of yearbook, helping Christine with the newspaper, coach and director. I will be doing A Native Lad, by some lady in England it is about the PFD (Public Fund Dividend) and Alaska's history. I am really excited about starting it. My boss even says that the lady that created the play will come if I put the play on.
Here are some pictures. :)
