Heading Out

Today’s the day. I am finally going home. I am more than ready to see everyone again. I can’t believe I got this home-sick in such a short amount of time. It was nothing to spend seven months over seas. I guess it’s all about what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. The purpose of coming here was to advance myself in my current job. This is far less important to me than what I was doing on float. I think it would have been helpful if I was a little more busy the last couple of weeks. At any rate, this has been an informative assignment. I have learned a great deal and have had the opportunity to see a city I hadn’t seen before. I am now more baffled than ever by those who insist that going to college in Fairbanks is better than going in Anchorage. Not only is Fairbanks ridiculously colder than Anchorage, its downright boring. I will have to investigate further at some point.

I finished the "Matrix" movie that I started. I guess I’m glad I finally know how it all ends. I have closure. The other movie I had rented, "Be Cool" maybe, turned out to be a sequel…I think. Basically; I was very confused by this movie. I don’t think it was really all that bad, but I am unqualified to say for sure. Either way it killed some time last night. Once it was over I was able to get to sleep relatively quick. Now I am getting dangerously close to time to leave. I had better get this posted before I run out of time.
