- Landed in Anchorage...not nearly as cold as I thought. Couple days here meeting with some people...then on to Fairbanks.
- Played football in high school with someone who lives in Fairbanks, talked with him this week. He loves it.
Maybe it'll suck, maybe it'll be great. It's two months of my life getting to work in a state I probably never would see otherwise...with a free apartment and company car.
- The only place I've really disliked was Arkansas...but still had fun and met good people.
- This and Michigan are totally different than what I was doing before. Working the otherside of politics. Nebraska, Texas, and Arkansas I had a team of petitioners who would go out during the day, then I would go out at night and schmooze state politicians.
These last two are election efforts and I'm in charge of the second biggest city in Alaska for all facets of the effort.
- I mean, a year ago I was teaching at a community college basically hating everything about it. Didn't like the city I was in, my job, in a shitty relationship, wasn't making much money, etc.
Had enough...dropped everything and a college buddy gave me a chance to put my Poli Sci degree to use. Best thing I ever did. I'm youngish, no kids, no wife...might as well see the country while I can...and if I find somewhere I love, I can always settle down there. Still have experience teaching, worst case scenario. Think I've found my calling though.
