I finally made it to Eagle River, AK!!!! I scrambled to schedule my U pack, movers, and deliveries. I finally got to pick up my new 4x4 truck too….. I didn’t want to die with all this ice and moose on the roads. Even with the exhaustion and constant errand running, I start my first job as Neurosurgery Physician Assistant in less than a week. I should be stressed out about start working for my first PA job ever, but I’m so tired from moving I’m not even nervous. It also helps that I am so excited to work with my doctor, office staff and everyone else in the OR…..including the surgical PA who reminds me that I am replacing him so he can finally retire.
It also turns out the weather isn’t so bad. Its frosty in the morning around 32 degrees and the high during the day is around the low 50s, high 40s. Apparently, a significant event has already happened before my arrival……termination Dust.
Fun Alaska Fact #2: Termination dust is the first snow on the mountains. Once this snow arrives, it means winter is about a month away. During the height of winter in Anchorage, there is only 5 ½ hours of daylight…. And it’s cold. The lowest temperature is around -30 ⁰F, but it averages in the single digits and low teens with the high around 20 ⁰F.
I can’t wait to see what Alaska has in store for me!!
