I couldn't sleep, but I stayed up and thought many thoughts. I was really wondering why I felt the way I felt. Maybe because I haven't been home for so long that I had gotten used to being at my sisters house in Akiuk. My mind was really working hard that night and I didn't go to bed until like 5 or 6 in the morning.
The next day my other friends had left to go to Tunt for that Youth thing. I was so, so, so aliayuk and bored and for some reason I was homesick for this place :P... isn't it awesome?? LOL...So that Saturday evening I had planned to come back to Akiuk because I had nothing to do back at home and all of my friends were on trips. I told my mom that I would be back on another weekend when my friends were there.
When I got here I went to my brother's house to warm up for 5 minutes. THen my brother and I went to Akula for a ride. After that I went home and started scribbling on my notebook. I had realized that I wasn't feeling awkward as I was before when I was back at home. It scared me a lot because I was scared that I would never be able to get used to home again.

Wow - that sounds like a pretty significant weekend. You're a good writer, Jacquie - you pulled me in and I felt like I was right there with you, feeling so...aliayuk (even I don't know what that is). Akleng that it was hard, but it is kind of awesome that Akiuk has become a home to you!
