I received a very distressing text this morning from my best friend Kayla telling me that she won't be coming back to Alaska. Her dad has kicked her out for no reason and she can't afford school. She does not know what else to do. I am very sad and I am really struggling on how I'm going to cope without her. I will miss her dearly and she will always hold a very special place in my heart and I hope that it isn't the last of our friendship or our contact with each other. I love her like she was my own sister. I missed her already from the vacation and now the thought of going back isn't pleasant. Neither does moving to Fairbanks, because we had planned to go there together and start a dogsled team. I just hope and pray that something will change before Tuesday. If you are there god I need a miracle so I can get my friend back........because I don't know what to do.
As I was watching "Little Women" a comment made by Jo after Beth's death hit me hard. "Will we never all be together again?" It cut me deep realizing how homesick I was for my family...my siblings and how I miss them so. It made waiting for these next few weeks even harder. Christmas I won't be ashamed to say I will bawl my eyes out. I have been over sensitive lately for some odd reason and I'm missing home more and more. I miss going on vacations and sitting around the dinner table. I miss the games and the piling up on mom and dad's bed to just be pests. All in all I just miss everyone..... I love you guys.
Well sadly I've been having to go to physical therapy lately. Not that I want to, but I guess I have two potential herniated discs in my lower back and chronic knee pain. The nurse practitioner thought it was patellorfemorial pain syndrome, but I'm not so sure anymore. The physical therapist (Erin) told me she believes my knee pain is linked to my lower back problems. Erin is cool, I like her a lot. She's having me do some exercises that seem to be working, they are causing me pain so they must be hahaha. She also did a wicked back massage for me today that was heaven, really worked out my poor tense muscles. Sadly I go to Chris on Monday. I don't know him, he's knew....scary. I'm worried what he'll do to me....I hope he's nice. Well I'm tough and I can handle it. Well that's what's going on with my physical therapy.
Well it's official now...I have completed one whole semester in college. I will tell you this much YIKES!!! It was a rollercoaster, I don't know if I truly liked it or not. Hopefully next semester isn't so bad. I am at least taking a class that has caught my interest. I'm still trying to figure out this whole biology thing also. It fascinates me, BUT i have to stick with stupid cell and molecular biology BLAH gross EWWW hahaha. Well now that the semester is up I'm packing my bags and heading down to good old Utah to visit family and friends. HOW EXCITING. I'm stoked. I miss everyone so much, I am so happy it's coming up. I'm anxious yet sad....I know once it comes around it'll go by so fast. Well that's all I have to say about that.
Well, Kayla and I went to Ninilchik, AK for Thanksgiving. We went to visit mom and Mike. We had tons of fun, Kayla and I went on an adventure one day, then another with Mike & Mom. We found loads of cool looking sponges and rocks. Then on Thanksgiving day we went and cut a Christmas Tree. It was tons of fun. We then proceeded to go home and eat and then Kayla & I decorated the tree. We played Mario Kart on the WII a lot also. Which that game is VERY addicting. Well we also went and saw Twilight, which I'm sad to say I didn't like very much. I'm a very big fan of the book, but was very disappointe
d by the movie. Well all and all it was a very good Thanksgiving break.

Well, where to begin. I am currently attending University of Alaska Anchorage. I'm majoring in Wildlife Biology. I live i the dorms and am going to say this. I HATE IT. To be honest I do, it wasn't all that hyped up as I thought it was going to be. There is one positive though. I have met my own hedero-lifemate. HAHA and not in any way shape or form in a gay way. She's naturally my sister without there being effort. We hit it off right away. Her name is Kayla Fair. We go in places or talk to people and they ask how long we've known each other we say either 2 months or now 4 months and they are shocked. They think we've known each other forever. It's crazy, I don't know what I would do with out her. Anyway, we are going to move up to Fairbanks next fall and go to school up at UAF. We are both super excited to get an apartment and not have to be cramped in the ridiculous dorms. Well I have 3 other roommates: Kayla, Britny, & Sasha. They are all great girls, however I have some pet peeves about Britny. Sasha generally doesn't bother us because she's usually never here or holed up in her room, but when she is out and about she's a great girl.
Here is a moose just outside our dorm. We normally get quite a few in post-fall time. However I haven't seen a single one since before Halloween, so I don't know where they went.
This is my dorm room, second night I was here. All clean and lovely. Sad it's not stayed that way lol.
Well there is dorm life for you.
