Anchorage Trip

I arrived back in Nome Saturday night after spending the last week in Anchorage. Not living on the road system makes it very strange going into the city. So many people, cars, buildings, etc. It is a lot to get used to. The tourists are everywhere this time of year! I definitely prefer living in rural Alaska, off the road system. While in Anchorage, I took two classes, worth 6 graduate credit hours total. There was a culture class and a history class. I have had a temporary Alaska teaching certificate and in order for me to renew it, I had to take these two courses. Very interesting classes, only problem now is I have to write several papers to finish out the class, but it shouldn't be too bad I guess. As for shopping, I didn't make it to Wal-mart, but I went to one of the malls a few times and also to Fred Myer (kind of like Wal-mart). I also went to Cold Stone Creamery, yum yum! Anyway, I am back in Nome, will work for one week, then head to Indiana on June 17 for 4 weeks. Summer is off to a great start!
