It's -8 degrees.
What.The.F#$%. "Oh, it never
gets below 0 in Kodiak." Liars. All
of you, liars.
That said, I lived. And it warmed up. To 6 degrees. Hurray! At least there is no ice or snow. Small miracle I guess at this point. The bigger miracle is that I've lived somehow. I don't know how I did it, mind you. The thermometers on the "thermostats" say it's less than 50, and you can see your breath sometimes. So, it's cold inside too. They have the a/c running nonstop. And apparently this isn't an issue that can be fixed. I'm sure it can, people are just lazy. Soon though, I will have my own place and I will warm! I can't wait.
Thank rant being out of the way (one I have shared with everyone who will listen - sometimes by force), I must say 2011 was a great year and I'm sad to see it go. I joined the Coast Guard, got hurt pretty badly but I recovered, bought my first new car, met an amazing guy, met some great people, finished "A" school, moved to California and Alaska, and now am planning a wedding! Woah, that's a lot. Maybe 2012 will be a bit slower paced? I doubt it.
Resolutions for 2012:
Make the next rank (well, that could take until March of 2013, even if I pass this fall)
Get orders to somewhere with seasons
Get back into volunteering
Anyone else have any resolutions for the coming year?
