I graduated from K-State a couple weeks ago. It was a fun and exciting day with family and friends! I am waiting on K-State to fill out some paperwork, and when I get that back I can complete and send in my application to get my Alaska teaching license. Yesterday, Collin and I mailed our first tote of belongings to Alaska. It was a bunch of classroom decorations! Soon, I will set up a PO Box and we will be able to start sending our clothes and other personal belongings. In 10 days, I will be heading to Akiachak for a week for new teacher orientation. I will get to meet the other teachers new to the district, explore the village I will be living in, see my classroom, school, and house, and learn more about the native people. I am super excited, but also a bit nervous. This will be my first time flying on an airplane, and with 4 connecting flights and about a 14 hour journey, I'm sure it will be a very interesting experience! Check back in the middle of June to see how orientation went and see pictures of what I was up to!
