Watch out here I come

I was overjoyed to get on the ferry yesterday afternoon. I'm currently sitting in Ketchikan, I'll go to the airport in about an hour. I arrived over here yesterday and Megan and I bummed around for a while. This included going out for Thai/Chinese food. Mmmm. We had a good time. Then we just kinda hung out the rest of the night. It was fun. This morning she's going to cheer practice and I'm getting on a plane to go to Anchorage for a few days. The one hour time change meant that I've been up since about 5 this morning. Wednesday I'll be changing time again when I see my family and go to the National Orff Conference. It'll be fun to see them. I love hanging out with my family and my friends. It looks like the only day my friend Beth has off this coming week is the day I fly in, so I'm trying to convince her to ride down with my parents to come pick me up and then we'll all go out to dinner. I think there is Red Robin in my future.
Not only will I be going through some time changes, but some major weather changes. It's been wet and windy in Metlakatla. It's been in the low 30's in Anchorage and in the upper 50's/low 60's in Antioch. The forecast says snow in Anchorage Monday. Weird weather is what I'm used to, I did grow up in northern Illinois. It'll just be nice to be on this trip. I've really been looking forward to it. I'm glad that I get to see Bryan and my family. It's been several months since I've seen them. The only downside is the long hours on a plane. Today I'll spend about 5 1/2 hours on the plane. Wednesday will be about 6 1/2 hours, that's also the same for next Saturday. Then next Sunday is only about 4 1/2 hours. That's only a total of 23 hours on planes. Wow that's a lot.
I don't have much to report about from work. We had parent-teacher conferences Wednesday and Thursday. Those were long days, but they went pretty well. I think I saw a total of 12 parents, which is way more than I saw last year. Nothing really exciting happened I supposed. The high school secretary did put in her letter of resignation though, very sad face. She's a great secretary. I can't believe how she's being treated. It really irks me. Apparently some people missed in their education classes on how secretaries run the world. I was given very good advice in an education class, NEVER get on the bad side of the secretary and the janitor. Definitely words to live by.
On another side note, as I was leaving town I read on the marquee by the school that they are celebrating principal's day on Friday. What the heck is that and why are we celebrating it? The administration isn't that good, well at least at the high school/middle school end of things. I just googled principal's day and it's May 1st, so why are we celebrating it November 13th? I'm glad I won't be there for it. Instead I can be home celebrating my parent's 30th wedding anniversary. Wow they've been married a long time.
Another week down and the coming one should be way more fun. I'm looking forward to it.
