Flashback to awkwardness at the middle school dance.

Today was the day of all days!! We got to chaperone the Eben Hopson Middle school dance!! It was awesome. A little play by play of the days events...

We started off the afternoon by congregating at Eben Hopson Middle School to help with the volleyball tournament (pre-dance). It was a fun game and myself, Kristian, and Trevor were line referees. We had a lot of fun watching the middle school kids play volleyball. I teach at the middle school so it was fun to interact with my students outside of the classroom.

After the volleyball tournament the dance began. Brit and Cassie were at the front letting people in and taking money for tickets. Kristian, Trevor, and myself were kind of wandering chaperones. The music started and kids started pouring in and we quickly recalled the awkward middle school moments that happened oh so long ago. There was slow dances and limbo's galore. It was great fun.

After a long week I think all of us are looking forward to a calm weekend just hanging out at the college and planning lessons and what not. It is the end of our 2nd week in Barrow and we only have about 4 weeks left. All of us are shocked that the time is flying bye so fast and we are all having such a wonderful time we do not know if we will want to leave!

Some things that we are looking forward to:
Maybe going out with the researchers and counting whales.
Going to prom and chaperoning that dance.
Entering and hopefully winning the snow sculpture contest.

Hopefully I get to eat some Muktak (whale blubber and skin) soon!
