So there I was…. Checking my sister’s blog on a daily basis.\u00a0 This is the blog mind you that I helped her create.\u00a0 The one I showed her how to use.\u00a0 When I realized.\u00a0 Hey! I don’t have a blog.\u00a0 I can’t let my sister out do me in the realm of technology.\u00a0 So I decided to create my own.\u00a0 Mine will be much cooler though.\u00a0 I will try to update mine a little more often than she does hers.\u00a0 So I know I’ll be hogging all of the traffic on the family site.\u00a0 Soon I\u2019m sure people from all over will have my blog as their homepage.\u00a0 Just to see what\u2019s happening in my life.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Not really.\u00a0 But I am going to try to post pictures, and a daily note about the crazy things that go on in the far far north.\u00a0 For instance…\u00a0 How many of you have your boss and half of your co-workers stop by on a Sunday to visit.\u00a0 Some stopped by to talk shop and some for a visit.\u00a0 Maybe some of you, but how many of you live in the same building as half of your staff.\u00a0 With the other half living no more than 100 ft. away?\u00a0 I am enjoying my one-day off this week.\u00a0 That\u2019s right…. One day!!\u00a0 Flying back up to Brevig after our two week Christmas break didn’t go exactly as planned.\u00a0 Turns out we were “stuck” in Anchorage for an extra two days.\u00a0 Now I put extra in quotes because I wouldn’t exactly say I was bummed I didn’t make it back.\u00a0 The problem was.\u00a0 Erin and I were not the only ones delayed from our return.\u00a0 9 out of the 10 staff that run our school were “stuck” in Anchorage, including our principal.\u00a0 So school was canceled on Monday and Tuesday.\u00a0 The only problem being BSSD (Bering Strait School District) doesn\u2019t have any school days to spare.\u00a0 So we have to make up the days we had to cancel.\u00a0 Hence only one day off.\u00a0 That’s right folks.\u00a0 We in Brevig were privileged with a day of Saturday school.\u00a0 With another one promised in a month or two.\u00a0 Aren’t we lucky?\u00a0 These are new additions to the normal Saturday workdays that are in our contract.\u00a0 See the district realizes that it’s staff isn’t from the arctic and wants to get home as soon as possible.\u00a0 So the days that normal schools in the lower 48 and those schools that are on the road system in Alaska take as teacher workdays during the week are scheduled on Saturdays for us.\u00a0 So we can spend as little time as possible away from our families and places that are warm.\u00a0 Actually the weather isn’t too bad right now.\u00a0 It’s only 11 below zero (37 below with the wind chill).\u00a0 So after our one-day off we are back at it again tomorrow trying to encourage learning in the youth of the north.\u00a0 I hope everyone has a quick and pain free Monday.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
