Winter break in Sitka was spellbinding. I made it a point to do as many things on the community calendar as possible (i.e. Chess at McDonald's, Dan Evans' Slide show, White E, concerts, etc.). The only things I didn't really get around to were the AA meetings and "Take Pounds Off Sensibly." -Next time. Also, while in Sitka, I worked for my dad. And I don't mean that I did some stuff around the house or washed his truck. I mean, I worked for SouthEast Fire Protection, putting sprinklers in the ceiling. I got pretty greasy bein' a "pipefitter," but it was pretty great. I was the only female I saw around the job sites. Big surprise. -It seemed to be an even bigger surprise to others.
At one point, I was standing on an eight-foot ladder, "hanging some pipe," when I saw Megan Lehman and her mom. "Hey Megan," I said casually.
"She looked around, and then finally up, meeting eyes with me. She frowned in confusion and hesitantly said, "Ohh, hi...?"

Anyway, now I am back to the academic grind. I am taking two classes this quarter; "Sociology 222: Society and Behavior" and "English 405: Writing Fiction."

Life is well.
