Poker face

So I am sitting at a new coffee shop listening to "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga. There are two things that I have become addicted to in Anchorage, coffee and dance/hiphop music. These are not the things I thought I would discover when I moved to Anchorage or the things that JVC probably wants me to do with my time here. I guess drinking lots of coffee isn't that bad but it's one of the only luxuries that I can afford and it makes me feel so normal to just go out and have a cup of coffee. If anyone needs to know the prices of coffee in Anchorage please contact me. Starbucks is by far more expensive but it is more conveniant because it's by the hopsital where I drop people off. I like Kaladi the most because eventhough they are a chain they are a small chain with all the shops in Alaska and one in Seattle. They also have soy milk for free which adds a very nice nutty taste to the coffee. And I don't know why dance music, I guess because I like the beat of it and I get to crank it up after I drop people off after van rides. I realize that when people see a white van with Bean's written on it and look to see who's driving they often see me dancing and singing on the top of my lungs to songs like Poker Face and Right Now. But it's a great release for me during the day which is so needed.

On another note I am housesitting/dog sitting once again. I hope that this is goes a lot better than the last one. It's funny because the dog that I am watching is 14 and can barely see and walk which is drastically different from the 5 month puppy that was the energizer bunny on speed. And I get a car for 10 days which is so nice. This morning I drove to Kincaid to go cross country skiing with Annie and Emily which was so nice. The weather was amazing again and we did a different path then we usually do. Usually I ski on the novice trails but today we did moderate and advanced trails. There were some really steep sections where I pretty much just went sideways because it was too scary to go so fast. I wish I could describe how beautiful the trail was but you have to see it to really understand it. I am thinking of driving to Palmer next weekend and skiing there. Palmer is a small town about 30-45 minutes from Anchorage and it has some really nice ski trails and a nice hippy coffee shop. See I have a one track mind it's all about the coffee. I feel like I am like that dog in the commercial where all I can think about is bacon beggin strip. But instead of bacon my mind is coffee, coffee, girls, girls, coffee, dance music, girls, coffee. haha I am just joking I am not a lush. Yes I have had way too much caffeine and I am listening to Right Now by Akon.

On a closing note I got into JVC and got placed with Catholic Social Services being an outreach worker. If I accept it/they accept me I will be doing outreach to chronically homeless women and helping them transition into permanent housing. The position definentely appeals to me but also scares the socks right off me. I think this job would challenge me but I hope that I am what they are looking for. I will be interviewing with this agency in a week or so and will keep people updated. I think that if I really like the position then I would do a second year of JVC but if it's so so then I will probably stay here. I guess a lot hinges on the interview. Alright time for a potty break.
