Today was our last day of school. I leave here tomorrow at 4 p.m. I'm feeling quite a rush of emotions: excitement, sadness as well as a little fearful and overwhelmed at the thought of being able to do anything. I've become accustomed to this simple, slow paced, no stress way of living that I know will drastically change as I step off the Bowing 757 and disappear into a summer of excitement and adventure that's probably not nailed down enough for me to be confident that it will all run smoothly. Never does, but then, I wouldn't have it any other way.
I'm excited to see my friends and family and do normal things that 26 year olds do. Like ride my bike around Lake Superior.
About Me
- Lida
- In August of 2008 I moved from New York City to rural Alaska. I teach 4th and 5th grade in a tiny community surrounded by winding rivers and vast tundra. We don't have roads, cell phone service, stores or restaurants and time is almost always on our side. It's a dreamlike existence.
