Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Tiz the season of mugtuk fruitcake and dried fish hanging on the tree.."Smile". Not really an Alaskan tradition but wouldn't exactly be far off. I'm currently in Michigan in which our Christmas day tradition with our father has become eating out at the only restaraunt open on this special day in the Bay City area- a Chinese smorgisborg of king crab, buttered Oysters and crab meat ragoons. The rest of the day 3 adults, some new techy presents, a small well furnished room, and about 8 hours spent enbracing cyberland.Tomorrow, my brother and I will be hitting the road to the other side of well being, a six hour drive North to our mother's in Marquette, MI. It is here where we will celebrate Christmas as it lives in the minds of viewers of many a Christmas special (sort of)..cabin on a lake in the forest, snowshoeing, turkey dinner. It's great spending time with family, I just wish they lived in Alaska or Hawaii 'smile". Please stay tuned for exciting stories of adventure from the North land.

Welcome

Hey, my name is Kirsten Alburg, a teacher in rural Alaska, and I would like to share what has seemed like a lifetime of experiences and adventures with who ever is interested. During Christmas eve 2005, my extremely brillant little brother introduced me to the world of Blogging. The title of this Blog will be Kirsten's classroom and I will be sharing a lot of AK bush classroom/village experiences, related worldly advise and personal opinions, but would also like to share the sea of adventures leading up to the classroom as well. Please check back soon for the first "in depth" writing and Merry Christmas to you all. Kirsten
