Its been ten days now since we last had running water at home. Its been rough. We’ve been showering at other teachers’ houses and surviving, but not having water is a little rough. How did humankind survive without running water all those centuries!? The temperatures are warming up, though, this weekend. At least that is what the weather forecast says. If we can get up above zero, maybe then Felix and the maintenance guys will be able to get us thawed out. All the other teachers’ houses are now thawed out, so I’m hopeful that tomorrow will be our day!
Tonight, I got to watch my first ever basketball games in Kotlik. The Lady Falcons were down by ten points at one point in the second quarter against Alakanuk, but were able to come back in the second half and win 68-47. It felt good to watch the game from the stands with the rest of the community, like being part of something. The girls played hard in their second game against Scammon Bay, but ended up losing 45-53. They play both teams again tomorrow morning, so still have a chance to go 3-1 this weekend.
