It's been an interesting break, but now that I've been here about a week and a half I am getting used to my Alaska life again. Actually, it's not too different from my Bozeman life in that I try to go snowboarding as much as possible (I live in Anchorage, about a 45 minute drive away from Alyeska Resort). I have found that the longer I am away at college, the weirder it is to come back to my Alaskan life, but after a while I am used to it again and it's as fun as it used to be. And now I know who my real friends are, while some people I don't see much anymore. Also, I find myself spending a lot more time with my family than usual because I don't get to see them much, either.
I've been up to Alyeska five times so far and hope to get a few more days in before I leave. New Year's is tomorrow and I'm planning on celebrating at a friend's house, so I'm excited about that. I've also been walking my dogs almost daily, which is fun (my mom bought a dog when my older sister left for college, and recently bought another one to replace me. empty nest syndrome?).
A random side note: I noticed someone commented my blog a couple weeks ago and said they had visited MSU recently and were thinking about going into nursing. I have no way of replying to that person's page so hopefully they read this. We have a really good nursing program of about 800 students (making it the seventh largest program in the nation), and the students spend their first two years of school at the MSU campus in Bozeman and then are transferred to one of our satellite schools in Kalispell, Missoula, Great Falls, or Billings. A few people do get to stay in Bozeman, but only about 16 because our hospital isn't very big!
Anyway, I hope everybody is having a good holiday season; happy new year!
