What did I do this summer? Let's see I worked at Bering Sea Fisheries, went out hunting a couple of times, babysat for my sister and for my cousin, and stayed home. Anyway, when I was working at Bering Sea Fisheries, I worked for more than 12 hours a day. During the first fishing period we worked all morning and all evening cleaning fish. And when we were through we had to pack the fish and that took us about two more hours. Sometimes I wished I wasn't working, but then that was the only way I was making any cash.

When fishing season was over I went out hunting with my sister and her boyfriend. We went to Flat Island where there were people hunting a baby seal. I was excited at first, but when they started hitting it with so many spears and harpoons I wasn't so pleased anymore. The poor seal was so helpless. I choked up but held it back. Later I whispered, "Quit hitting it." One of my friends smiled at me. And later that day he laughed and asked me why I said,"Quit hitting it." I just ignored him and started to eat my hamburger helper. Later that day we thought we saw a Mukluk (Bearded seal), but it was only a log. There were two other boats out there, and they thought the log was a Mukluk (Bearded seal) too.

The other time I went out hunting was with my cousin and his friend. That time we didn't see anything. The other guy who went with us though said he saw an Issurugik (Spotted seal) and some beluga whales. Later on we went to Issurituli and hunted for mice. When we finally started for home the time was 11:30 P.M., and we reached home at 12:25 PM. Truly a full day, and a full summer.
