XC

This is what happens when it rains. You get covered in mud. It is most definitely a slippery mess.

Sookie :)

My roommates dog!!!

House

Here ya go dad :) Sorry I meant to post this sooner. But here is what the outside of my house looks like. It's not a great pic but it's something.

oh yeah...SCHOOL!!!

I forgot to give everyone an update on how school is going.  Boy is it busy, and I'm exhausted, but I do like it here. 

Here is my schedule for the semester:
      Period 1: 8th grade science
      Period 2: Physical science
      Period 3: VTC geometry/academic enrichment
      Period 4: 7th grade science
      Period 5: health
      Period 6: plan
      Period 7: earth science

Lots of planning, but they are all good classes.  My morning classes seem to be asleep.  But by the time 4th  period rolls around the 7th graders are going crazy.  It's right before lunch and they are everywhere but in there seat so I will have to try something new. 

Also, I have a new friend who has been helping me out since I got here.  She is in 3rd grade and comes by everyday after school.  (I'm never gonna get Justin Bieber out of my head...lol).  She keeps me entertained while I work on stuff by playing youtube videos.  It makes it a little easier to be stuck in my room all day :)

Cross country

Well...I'm coaching xc this year. Super excited :) but definitely have a lot on my plate. Papers have exploded all over my desk. Ugh :(

address and such

Some of you have asked for this so here it is.  My address is general delivery toksook bay, AK 99637. 

Skype somewhat works.  My username is saralucas12.  The audio worked well last night but the video only works for like 30 seconds before it is just like a blur and it is hard to hear.

House



Pearl and Michaela helped me clean
the house

Tried to make muffin but couldn't get the stove
 to work so we had to make pancake muffins

View from my house.  The post office is the little cream colored building in the photo to the right.

My Room!!!  (Not exactly clean yet...but close enough)

Finally made it!!!

This is what happens when you try to order a years worth of food from amazon. Still working on arranging everything. So I will update you when it is in acceptable condition.



















And now onto my classroom. When I came in it looked like this.

Now it looks like this

Whales!!!!!

Saw humpback whales again this year on the kenai fjords boat tour in Seward. Just didn't get as good of a pic. Also saw bear glacier.

And the journey begins!!!

My parents and I made it to anchorage and checked into the hotel way too early yesterday morning. But I'm so excited to be back!!! After waking up yesterday we had a not so fun filled day of getting my stuff done. Walmart..check. Phone....check. (new number 907-538-2722) Bank..check. So happy to have all of that done :)
