I really have to say that I am eager to get back to a place where I know people, know what there is to do on a friday night. As the days go by I find myself getting more and more frustrated with work, and bored at home. you can only visit the same websites so many times (they don’t change themselves every hour) I don’t have any friends here, I have my temporary brothers, but Ryan works when I don’t and Eric either sits around, or is out with his own friends. I have made a friend from church through Ryan, but he also works, and were not that close where we will just hang out whenever. I am getting kind of lonely, missing home, night, crickets, reall rain (not drizzle). I love the mountains, don’t get me wrong, but I only see them when I ride my bike to and from work. and when I go backpacking on random weekends. I hope that my trip next weekend is fantastic, I hope that the trip to kodiak pans out. I hope that my roomates e-mail me. It is really depressing when the only e-mails you get back are either from ebay or from the people from Kodiak Island answering questions about ferry’s, planes, and trails. It’s not like I haven’t been sending e-mails. I haven’t heard from my future roomates since the first 2 weeks that I got here. I have e-mailed them twice asking questions and tellgin them to write, but i have got nothing back…that is frustrating.

I’m ready to come home, I’m ready for Palos Heights and GR, I’m ready for friends, and ready to see my girlfriend. I miss hanging out with everyone, I don’t know anything about sports, Anchorage public school staff, people from Anchorage, world politics, or whatever it is that the people surrounding me talk about. I want to make fun of Raelson, and hear Brian’s hilarious laugh, I want to hear Burry playing guitar in the background, I want to share inside jokes with Leah, I want to eat my mom’s cooking, hang out with my brother, his girlfriend, and roomate, I want to just be with my girlfriend.

I am making it sound like I am miserable, it is really nice here, no one should ever love their summer job to death, being away from everyone and everything you know isn’t supposed to be easy, I love the scenery and I really can’t complain, I am getting paid more than I ever have before, I am getting free room and board, and I have a comfy bed to sleep in. I will be home for only 8 days, and then I am off to school. I am gonna give my momma a big hug…but now I am gonna mill around the house, then go to sleep. g’night.
