Alright, I've failed again and have completely not posted in two months. Oops. The end of catalina brought lots of joy when it meant we were going to alaska! I got to go home for Easter and finally meet new baby. It felt so good to be home. The conservancy continued to be amazing and had the best going away part and prezzies ever. Transition was all a blur. Paula was gone and my estrangement from every other TL increased. But then we went to alaska.
I haven't been able to gush to the ameri world as much as id like but I can't believe it. On top of the idea that im finally in alaska...a dream I've had since my elementary best friend visited her aunt in Juneau, ak project is kinda like a prize. Its a once a year project and then we went from catalina to alaska...something I was solo sure wouldn't happen.Anchorage is a little different than id thought...it is a city but very spread out and lacking a lot of "big city" thing found in the conninental states. However we're surrounded by mtns, its chilly weather (love it) and the wildlife is great. Now I say that but I've still really only see two moose. Its calving season so both these fellows were 1 or 2 and had been pushed away from their mommas. I wanna see one with a great rack! (Haha) That should change this weekend though, the team is going to edward and im dropping a chunk of.change to see puffins whales etc. Then the next weekend im headed to denali where hopefully ill see some dahl sheep and a bear. We did go camping once already by portage glacier. So weird to see this phenom for real life. It was so cold and such a pretty blue.
I also love my job. The team is split between four clubs and an outdoor program. The four are very different. Im at woodland park with stephanie. Its pretty chill here...the kids can get crazy and we have a.few hooligans but mostly nice kids in need of attention. the admin offices are also here and our club manager is AWESOME. We hang out with her whenever we can. Jenna and matt are at north east which is in a more low income area with a more diverse group of kids. Second rowdiest of the four. Last weekend there was a car fire jenna helped put out and rescue a dog from. Somehow a door was left unlocked into the community center and the club doors were broken down and four new mac computers and xbox and money was stolen. Rumor is it was a kid. How terrible! Ron billy and lauren are at the most diverse and most.urban club called mountainview. They love it. Billy is running a drum program, there's a music studio (with recording and writing equipment). Ron and lauren play a ton of bball. They have a ton of kids they adore. Krista Brittany and kyle are at eagle river the most organized well behaved club. They are actually in a suburb of anchorage with middle income military families. They love I and are glad to be immersed in the organization. We started working almost 11 hour days and were barely functioning. Now were down to 8. We don't start work til 11 but aren't getting done and home until 630. Eagle river however works earlier in the day. Tonight were going to a dinner theater to see source code. Should be fun.
Im 45 days until the end. Its kinda weird but needed. No matter how much I love the project and the place im ready to go home. Well my road trip first. It will be so good to see gold one. I miss them all soo much. And to be done being in charge and on and appropriate all the time will be great!
