I cut my hair right before school started. I forgot to take pictures of it (I'm not doing great with remembering to document events in pictures). I was able to take a picture of myself today, just now on my computer. I can say I did nothing with my hair, which is why it looks like this.
School has indeed started up. I am taking more biology classes and finishing some general requirements which include economics and native performance appreciation. Overall a fun semester. I am also finished up my summer job ( I do in a couple times a week to help finalize prep for winter). I've also started my school year job at the museum and have jumped right back into full swing.
Gordon has gotten a part time job at the bookstore and just got a second job as a personal trainer (they're putting him through the training). He's putting in his papers for volunteering as an EMT at a local fire station. He had a scare earlier this week when he discovered that this associates program had been split and transformed. The path he was taking now lead to nowhere. Luckily he quickly switched back on track and is getting prerequisites out of the way for entering the paramedic academy.
We're regularly finding frost in the morning on our car as Gordon wakes me up at too-early-o-clock to hit the gym before classes start at 8. The Alaskan birch trees have golden leaves and many plants are undergoing winter reddening. I'll post a slew of nature photos hopefully soon.
I'll also post summer pictures and stories when I have time. unfortunately I seem to be short of that right now.
Days are getting dramatically shorter. The sunrise this morning was at 7:05 (9/12) by the end of September (9/30) the sunrise will be 7:58. Sunset is moving from 8:25 to 7:20.
DURING THE COURSE OF 18 DAYS I WILL HAVE TWO HOURS LESS DAYLIGHT EACH DAY!!!
This trend will of course continue until December 22nd when the sun will be up from 11:00 to 2:30. Only three and a half hours of sunlight. (Most of 'day light' I will be in windowless classrooms, of course)
