Too Much Sun

Walk on the beach...check.
Favorite Yin yoga class...check.
Delicious smoothie and chocolate bar...double check.
One month ahead on homework....nerd check.
98.89% packed.....ugh, yes.
Circadian rhythm all messed up.... confirmed.

I honestly never thought that I would say this but, this never ending sun is a lot harder to deal with than the drudges of a sleepy winter. At least then I always felt compelled and not guilty for curling up to sleep. Now I feel manic and as though all I do is nap. No amount of tricking my brain is helping this situation. It has slowly gotten to the point where it's duskish at 1 a.m. and my brain says, oh hey, you shouldn't be sleeping, why are you sleeping? Then I wake up at 7 a.m to a full glory sun and it all starts over again. It's weird.

It's also weird that this is what a 9 pm stroll on the beach looks like:

I will say I am going to sorely miss the views here. Driving around town and seeing mountains is comforting. I'm gonna miss them.

Well, I've gotten everything on my little list of things to do in Kenai done. I forced myself to get out of my sloth like existence and go to my favorite yoga class. A solid hour and a half of deep stretching does the body good. Then I loitered at Coffee Roasters with my delicious smoothie and pushed ahead on the Mt. Everest of homework. Being responsible and all I want to make sure I'm waaaay ahead given that I'll be either in the middle of nowhere or out on the town in the next few weeks and the last thing I want to think about is homework.

It's hard to believe that come Saturday I'll no longer be an Alaskan nanny. I'm excited. There's a lot waiting for me. I'm ready. Let the time fly. Oh please let the time fly...
