Well, I wanted everybody to be able to understand the whole me and Alaska thing. Now I'll probably be referring you to this instead of really telling you about it. I don't want to have to explain it over and over.

So mainly I want to go there for the adventure. Also I want to take a break from doing school. If I went straight through, that would mean like 18 years of consecutive school. I don't want to do that. I want to actually live life for a while. Aside from the adventure prospects, I want to work really hard. The harder and more obnoxious the better. It's going to take some serious motivation for me to do well in college. You guys better watch out, because when I come back (when Jack is back), then I'll be really strong, and a really good shot. I'll be shooting the hell out of everything when I get there. I'm just going to line up cans on a log on the beach and pop 'em all off until I can hit with every shot. Then I'm going to use a rifle too, and get good with that. And all the construction work will get me inhumanly strong. I'll probably come back like a foot taller, totally buff, and like 200 lbs. of pure muscle. Well, maybe not.

Anyways, I'll be there for an entire year, maybe more, maybe less. Nobody really knows at this point; but we do know that I have a one-way ticket to Unalakleet Alaska. It's an obscure Eskimo fishing-village. I have pictures of the wilderness and such on my profile from a vacation I took there last summer.

Oh yeah, and the construction work will supply useful funds.
