Windy with a chance of mooseballs

Let me just welcome myself back to the blog scene. This post will have to be short and sweet, but no worries, it should become more regular. At least bi-weekly ;) I'm in Tununak now, living the life of a village teacher. No, that is not a member of the Village People you've never heard of before.
I teach every subject under the sun, but alas, not much sun here. When it IS sunny, its quite gorgeous (see pictures below...)

That would be the sun on the coast! We don't see it often, but everyone comes out to play when we do :) 

That building with the red roof and the funny broken-down yellow suburban--> that's where I live. It's the old BIA school. I'm not entirely sure what BIA stands for, but from what I undersand, BIA schools were really terrible places to get an education. Lots of abuse and things of that nature that kids should never be exposed to. We, the teachers, have turned it into a luxurious (albeit mouse infested) habitude where we play darts and have family dinners.

Speaking of which, it's taco wednesday. It was supposed to be taco tuesday yesterday, but I tried to make sour cream (yes, we have to make our own sour cream if we want fake mexican american food in Alaska) and it didn't set as quickly as I had hoped. So we try again today! When all else fails, I'll be pulling out the ranch dressing.

Live long, people! So you can catch a read of this blog every now and then;) Toodles!
