Busily Bored

So it's been one of those weeks that can only be described as over anticipated boredom. I really don't know what the deal is. I lost two days this week to what I call an extenuation of a nap. This means I was really tired and decided to take a short nap which turned into a full night of sleep. I suppose it's just my body's way of saying it's time to shut down and reset. I know I have a tendency to stretch myself thin by running all weekend long and staying up really late during the week but that's just what I do.

I think I need to find something to do to take up my time. I'm not sure what that would be yet but I am working on it. Boredom just seems to be the word of the week. Even my job is as a friend put it so nicely... anticlimactic. With the exception of Sundays, my job is both uneventful and overly boring. Hell, there are days that I just watch movies or struggle to stay awake. I've been known to shoot some hoops, throw a football, or take a bike ride while on the clock. There is more than enough time to do it and believe it or not, it's not frowned upon. Such are the things to help pass the time.

So my free time has been consumed with trying to nail down my Alaska plans. This has turned out to be tougher than expected. A friend has been all over me about this, telling me I need to get stuff booked ASAP. I am working on it. The more I examine the things and places Alaska has to offer the more I realize that I don't have enough time or money to do it all! Do it all...that's what I want to do. Everyday I feel more adventurous. I am beginning to think I will most definitely have to plan a second visit, and it will be planned out well in advanced. Truth be told, I would be happy just taking a kayak trip to some remote place and camp so as long as I could trek across a glacier and maybe see a bear or two. It's funny because that could be on the list for my next trip. As it stands right now, the only thing that I have figured out is that my last three days in Alaska will be spent in Anchorage. I figure there is plenty to see and do. I am highly considering the Alaskan Native Heritage Center among other things. I also plan to visit the university, so that should be cool. I contacted a travel agency to get some extra help and should hear from them tomorrow with itineraries and quotes. Again, I am wanting to much in too little time.
So you could say for being bored, I got a lot to do.
