Day of Presidents

Hello, and Happy President's Day! Hopefully everyone will soon be enjoying their federally mandated day off of school. Unless your school observed it on Friday, in which case welcome back from a three-day weekend.

I uploaded my photos from New Zealand at the usual place. Have a look-see if you'd like.

For the most part, I'll probably be signing off of this blog. If and when I go on further adventures, I'll use it some more, but until then I don't think my usual daily life is interesting enough to warrant frequent updates. Maybe photos, though. Also, I'll post the link to the group journal entries Kenny has compiled as soon as I get it.

Thanks for reading -- until next time.

What a long and weird trip it's been. Turns out the internet connection at WAISDC is pretty much not worth bothering with unless you want to get up very, very early. Thus, there wasn't any blogging from there. Sorry. I definitely didn't freeze to death, in case anyone was worried by my lack of communication.

After a week of preparations at WAISDC, the five of us headed out into the field for three weeks. I have to write up some kind of reflective journal thing for Kenny, so I'll post that when I'm finished. I was intending on doing a big update from McMurdo, but we were only there for one night -- we lucked out and got on a National Guard rotator flight back to Christchurch the next morning. I was in New Zealand for five days or so and have been back Stateside since. It's been a crazy and amazing few months, but it's good to be home.

The real point of this wasn't to make excuses for not updating earlier. No. The point was to shamelessly advertise the new batch of photos I uploaded to my Picasa account -- they're the highlights of WAIS Divide Camp and being out in the field. I'll be doing my trip through New Zealand separately. Check them out here.
