What a great week!
The weather has been mid to high 70s and sunny! I got a little sun burnt two days ago and am just enjoying myself. Today is Friday and I am off work a bit early. What else could put me in a better mood? Oh, well tonight is a gathering of friends at Sara's house and I am way excited. Looks like it's BBQ and side dishes. I am thinking this will be a blast!
So this past week has been busy. I have been working on homework for my summer class and things are going really well. A long while ago I was taught how to use a virtual world called SecondLife, for an online English class and found out that I will get to use it for this summer class I am taking now. I decided to build The Shrine of St Therese (for homework) in Secondlife so that others can see it. And I emailed my teacher to have him take a look at my work. It turns out he was very impressed and wanted to know if I would be interested in talking to the Provost of the University of Alaska system about the educational benefits of this virtual world. Also, he wanted to show The Shrine to him. I thought that was pretty neat and very unexpected.
Besides school I have been working my tail off at Era again this summer. I am enjoying it even better then last year and the time here is flying by because I am having such a blast. Last week I got to take a flight with Mike Bury, a pilot who has been around for a bit but I hadn't gotten the chance to fly with him until recently. It was great! We landed on the Norris glacier and walked about looking at the huge cracks, moulin, and large glacial pools. It was gorgeous! I managed to snap a few pictures before my camera died. I will have to post those soon.
Welp, time to start getting ready for the BBQ tonight!
