today is my day off, the weather is cold and overcast, it hasn't rained too much today though. But i haven't been outside yet, i think i'm just sick of being cold and constantly under cloud cover. I keep telling myself i need to go running before it starts raining again but i'm still feeling sick to my stomach and my digestive system is still out of whack. It's been over a week now, what the heck is wrong with me, the only time my stomach doesn't hurt is when i'm sleeping. maybe i got the west nile virus, there's a ton of mosquitos here. living in idaho all winter, i really look forward to the hot summer and getting tan, this alaska weather just isn't cutting it. at least the scenery is good. I wish i was closer to mary, becky, keith, kramer, and jedd; i have so many friends up here but i never see them. i really miss hanging out with jo too. i was hoping to get some experience out in the field with this internship, but i don't think i'll be able to since we just work with the animals we have here at the conservation center, so that's kind of a bummer. but it is cool feeding the animals. we might get an orphaned, grizzly bear cub soon! the other day we got to ride this jet boat up a stream to see this glacier up close, it was pretty fun. The boat had about 400 hp and had a new hull design that could cut corners like butter! it only needed 4 inches of water to run, we could look over the side and see the rocks right below us, crazy! one of the boats had a tower on it, to bad i didn't bring my wakeboard, but i don't have a dry suit so i would literally freeze to death. i put up my climbing pull-up bar today, so i can at least pretend i'm rock climbing now and hopefully some day mary will be here with her rope when its not raining.
