Voles Voles Voles
Eros Here...
Short post tonight because I'm pretty freakin' exhausted. For all the UIC people out there. We have VOLES!!! In fact there is a nest right outside our dorm. I saw one this evening up close and personal, ran upstairs to get my camera and it was gone. So stay tuned for some wild action shots of alaskan voles.
Other than that, today was full of mostly boring orientation meetings for the students. Nothing exciting happened. Although I did take a few kids to the gym and we lifted weights. It was kind of cool to show them how to lift effectivley. Also, in case you didn't know this, basketball is HUGE in the villages. All these kids play b-ball, even the girls. It's pretty cool to watch because they're really fast. Hope everyone is doing alright. Enjoy the pictures that Amy took of the mountains.

Wow, Voles are so gross. there is this lady in the zoo department at miami who studies voles and she totally looks like a vole. she even has a bumper sticker that says i break for voles. i would speed up and run those mothers over:) it sounds like you are having fun and staying busy. Amy, I hope your allergies are getting better.

ps adam says hello too.
I was thinking this would be a great gig, beautiful scenery, hip-hop Alaskans, basketball. But if you can't drink during the light of midnight, I guess I can't join you.
So have the kids pulled any pranks on the lower 48ers? If they told me to look for Voles, I would have thought they were tricking me into getting lost in the woods...I need some pictures of this fascinating animals.
