A Week to Go.

As most of you know, I will be spending this summer in Alaska aka the Last Frontier aka the Land of the Midnight Sun. I will be spending approximately 10.5 weeks in Ketchikan, AK, which is in southeast Alaska (south of Juneau, which means I'm basically living in Canada). For 10.5 weeks, I will be playing with bears, kayaking in the sea and, you know, working.

The point of this blog is essentially two-fold: First, I will be documenting any adventures I encounter in the Land of the Midnight Sun, which will likely be quite a few. As I tend to take quite a few chances and am not sure how cell phone service will be in Ketchikan, this blog will also serve as a great way to make sure I am still alive. Second, I will be working in Ketchikan's Public Defender's Office. This sort of job is completely new to me and it will be the perfect way to put what I have learned (allegedly learned, I might say) in law school thus far.

I will document my adventures at sea, in the wilderness and in the court room and hope that by reading, you will be able to experience a bit of Ketchikan. As soon as I find a place to live (yeah, that's right, I'm still homeless at this moment in time), I will send out my address if you wish to send me any mail. I like post cards of Lake Michigan, homemade stick figure drawings and treats. As for all of you, I will find awesome things in Alaska to send/bring back. I've already gotten requests for post cards, Sarah Palin and taxidermy (mmhmm).

As for now, it is back to enjoying movie night with my pops and getting some sleep for a round of golf in the morning with my mom. Sometimes, it's not so bad when your parents live in South Florida.
