Thursday July 5th
Today was so long. I feel like each day is just taking
longer and longer. It’s probably cause I miss everybody so much… Anyways, today we went to the Radar
facility in Kellyville (a tiny town with only seven people) where we got the longest tour of my life. I just
feel so tired it’s impossible to focus, but it was kinda cool just cause the
radar is so big.
We also got to see their laser and a ton of pics they took of
the Aurora, which is beautiful. I made it a new goal of mine- I want to see the
northern lights before I die. Actually, I’ve decided it would be the best date
ever, to sit under the northern lights with someone, I just think about things
like this all the time. :) Anyways, after we went to see the radar we came back
to base camp where we had two skype interviews, and honestly I was so dead
tired, I can barely tell you anything about them… But I know we were talking
about the ice bridge, the airplanes that are taking Ice measurements until the
new satellite launches in 2016. After our lectures we had a break for dinner,
which was, again, thai food. -__- After dinner we had a small social activity
where Maeve taught us how to make paper trebuches and we launched m&m’s and
ate tons of chocolate. Life was good. :) Dana and I also “tamed our eyebrows”
finally. New we’re feelin pretty, well, about as pretty as you can feel when
you never wear make up and are somehow always dirty feeling. Anyways, in all
honesty I can’t think of much to blog today, all I can think about is how much
I miss people, and how much I wish I could just see everyone. Being here
definitely makes me appreciate seeing everyday, and being able to talk on the
phone until I fall asleep. It’s the little things I miss. I also want a
watermelon eegee sooooo badly. Well, I hope all is well in the states and I’ll
be home in a week! :)
Much love,
Sydney
