“Alaska has long been a magnet for dreamers and misfits, people who think the unsullied enormity of the Last Frontier will patch all the holes in their loves. The bush is an unforgiving place, however, that care nothing for hope or longing.” ~Jon Krakauer
The sun has begun to return to this cold part of the world. The days are much longer now than they were when I arrived. When I first arrived there was a little over 4 hours of sunlight a day. Sunrise was around 10:30am and sunset was at about 3:00pm. Now I am starting to see significant changes. The glow of sun can be seen peeking over the horizon on my way to class at 8:00am and is visible until right before 6:00pm. The sun now hangs much higher and much brighter than before, it is beginning to feel like a winter's day back home again. It is hard to believe the length of my day has practically doubled in just a little over a month.
