The Horizon Has Been Defeated

Posting on my blog two days in a row? Is this Sarah turning over a new leaf...or is she just waiting for a cake to bake late at night? Most likely the latter. Today was foggy as...as....glasses in a sauna? Or as Kermit! Wait..that's froggy. Anyway, pea soup out there, we actually offered everyone a free trip tomorrow because we couldn't see much at all, just a glacier and a whole lot of white nothingness. We tried (sort of) to come up with a nick name for me, I've never really had one that stuck. The best we could do is Sarah-o. Pathetic. The pink salmon are dying and so am I, I hope I don't smell as bad as they do when I get a little closer to the end. I'm out of here in 5 days! I guess that means I need to pack, I guess that means I have been saying that for about two weeks now. I made a list of things I need to do before I leave, I think it was more because it's fun to make a list than because I need a list. So what this comes down to, i...

The summer is slowly/rapidly coming to a close! I'm ready/hesitant to leave, and I can't wait/not sure I want to get to Veinna. I sympathize with Chelsea, BYU is so much fun and I KNOW it's fun so it's really easy to want to go back there. In fact, I am REALLY glad I'm going to be spending over a week there, hopefully I'll get bored and in doing so get more ready to go. I'm worried about my Visa, last minute changes, and being too late! I guess I feel like I should be worried anyway, but I'm not really. I took the day off today, it's sort of my last real off day. I'm switching so that I work this Saturday so I have the next one off but I'm going to Anchorage for a family reunion, so that will take up Saturday and Sunday, then Monday Tuesday home and then I leave! So I figured taking a day off to pack and call people and get things straightened out would be wise. Even though this is one of the first nice days in the last 10...I was ki...
