Alaska was Rad
15 years ago
I have been back for a while now(a week and a half) but I was super stressed with some going ons and now I am FINALLY settled in!
So. What can I say about Alaska? Living without so much as touching a computer for five weeks was interesting, and it was hard to get back into life when I returned. I had a lot of fun out camping and backpacking, and I learned a lot- My botany skills have increased like crazy, my tracking skills are refined for new species, and my bird list has grown. Also now I know a lot about Alaska from geography to culture to history. Fun stuff, methinks!
I saw a lot of great things, from landscapes to places to animals, and I met some great people and got to know a lot more about some people I already knew. Overall it was an amazing trip. Highlights include climbing onto a glacier, camping on a siksik(arctic ground squirrel) colony, checking out University of Alaska Fairbanks and the Museum of the North there(I want to do their Wildlife Biology grad program soooo bad!), taking a bush flight over the arctic circle, hanging out in a Nunamiut village, hiking limestone canyons, finding so many caribou racks and remains... and making friends with Nunamiut sled dog puppies! So much to mention, but it's all a long story and the main point is that I learned a lot, had fun, and traveled.
I didn't draw a whole lot while I was there because I was so enraptured by the land and homework, but formulated ideas and I have new characters coming up soon! Be on the look out!
Also, I've got some time before classes start for me(a month) and I am taking all forms of commissions real cheap! So check it out(http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1454576/) and see what you think :3
Hope everyone else has enjoyed their summer too!
