I spent the last few weeks packing up, traveling, and unpacking at my new apartment here in Alaska. I drove from Tulsa to Fairbanks in my little Toyota Prius, and it was a trip that spanned over 3,600 miles. It was a beautiful drive! Lots of wildlife like bears, elk, deer, and caribou on the road. The worst parts were that there were steep slopes, sections of the road that were unpaved, and lots of potholes.

I start school as a master's student this Monday. I'm studying biology and will be working in a bird lab making study skins; bird taxidermy but for science instead of display! For the next two years, I'll be swamped. You will probably not see me posting much over the next two years, so if I'm quiet, that's why! I still hope to draw when I have free time and will try my best to find some furry friends here in the middle of nowhere. I'm looking forward to taking photos of myself in my suit when there's snow outside!
