Here I am 35 days into my Alaskan adventure! I have two jobs: Residential Care Worker at a youth rehabilitation center (kind of like a group home, except they all suffer from some sort of substance abuse and follow the rules more LOL), and as Executive Assistant to the President of Charter College (sounds fancy huh). I started my job as an EA on Wednesday. In the land of casual, I happen to land one of the few jobs that actually require business dress! So, since I have been in Alaska, I have worn more nice clothes and makeup than I have in the past 15 years combined! LOL!!! Go me!

I was accused of looking so "modern" at church last week! It cracks me up, since I am the least fancy dresser I know! Well, until I moved here! I love that everything is so casual, but people here make me feel like I am a fancy dresser! Go figure!

| at the bus stop |
I am learning my way around town and even gave someone directions, and another asked for information on a bus line. I felt good informing them how to get somewhere and not sending them in the wrong direction. I did that once! Getting lost is the best way to learn your way around I have learned. I took the wrong bus on purpose the other day to avoid a guy who was getting a little too friendly. His name was "Styles from Minnesota" and had liquor on his breath, which is pretty standard at a bus stop. I've been offered alcohol at the bus stop more times in the last month than I have in the last year when out on the town! Good thing I have good enough sense to say "no." Haha!
I am hoping to find my stride soon. Now that I am working, and have my finals lined up, and hopefully get my science lab done, school will be done for the term and I will be ready for the next term. I am really looking forward to the next term, as I will be close to getting into the meat of my degree. Makes me feel that much closer to finishing and reaching my goal. It's why I moved to Alaska, it's why I returned to school after all these years. Let's get it done!
