The seemingly "Long term" stay in Kasigluk

Staying in Akiuk... whew it's scary staying on the small side for me because it's like I'm trapped on a little island and don't have a way out. Scary because what if I get hurt when the ice is thin and stuff? scary, that freaks me out a lot. Some times I wish I was at home in Atmautluak, in my house and on my bed writing in my journal and listening to Gospel music. Oh how I really miss my aana and my two younger sisters. 
Sometimes I regret moving here, but at least I moved because of this AWESOME school. I'm not saying that I don't like this village, but I just miss being at home. It is different living here. Different because it is small and sometimes creepy at night when most of the light thing poles are off.
Seems like I have been away from home for many years. I kind of forgot my friends that I have back home. I hardly know them now. I miss the way they always used to make me laugh till I could not stand.
I spend my time here in Kasigluk mostly in our house being bored. But I like the fact that most friends come over to visit just in time, when I'm really bored. But I never really got to know them really well yet. 
Kiikwa I'll write more when my thinker bulb turns on again...
