I'm Here In Alaska
21 Oct 03 - Yeah, so I'm here in Alaska.  Most of you are probably thinking "What the hell is she doing in Alaska?"  I've asked myself that question.  The answer:  to be on my own and not be so controlled.  I was all through high school, and I jus need to be on my own and grow up.
I've been here about a month and a half, but it seems like a lot longer for some reason.  The weather was weird for a couple weeks cuz it was in the 70s.  That's right, it's not a typo, i said the 70s in September in Alaska.  Crazy, I kno.  It was warmer here than in Detroit and Maryland.  But now, it's been in the 20s for a while.  There's no wind, so it doesn't seem that cold.  It's snowed a couple times, but nothing has been sticking.  I saw the mountains for the first time in the middle of September, and I saw the Northern Lights a few days after I saw the mountains.  I've been able to see the mountains a lot since then, and I've seen the Northern Lights about 3 other times.  They're so awsome.
Since I've been here, I haven't done too much.  Gone to a couple movies, found the love of my life (no lie), done more PT than I ever thought I would, ran more than I ever thought I could, and have really bonded wit my roommate.  I was lucky to get a roommate that I get along wit so well. 
I haven't talked to my mom that much since I've been here, thank God.  But she was e-mailing me at least 5 times a day for a while, until I told her it was too much.  There's so much she doesn't kno about me, but that's nothing new.

I guess that's all for now.  Don't think that jus cuz I'm not in the city that I'm gonna change into a small town girl... not gonna happen.  I'll always be a city girl.
