Tuesday July 3rd
Today was actually really nice and chill. We've had a lot of down time to kinda just hang out at base camp spending time with the other students. :) We had a short vidoe conference this morning with a scientist who is studying glacial melt water and the amount of sediment in the Watson River, which is just a short distance from tbase camp. Sadly, all four of our attempts to gather data failed. But it was still a ton of fun! After figuring out the amount of glacial sediment in the river, we went back to base camp and went on this really cool website that has a lot information about ice sheets and glaciers. Then we've literally just been chilling at base camp. The Greenlandic and Danish students are all super chill and hilarious. Especially Aggu. He's probably my favorite Greenlandic student. He's one of the only two guys here and he's absolutely hilarious. He was put in my group (Group four: Him, Nivi, Melene, and I) and we're the best team ever. We're always the fist to get stuff done and we work as a rockin' team! We even made the best mosquito joke ever. "I gave that itch a scratch. Itches love scratches." HAHAHAHA Best moment ever. AND he taught me a new word: slut. It means end in Danish. Oh, and I had the most joyous moment t of the trip thus far today in the kitchen. Kasper and Shynes came home from grocery shopping and bought us a ton of food for our fourth of July celebration tomorrow! They got us burgers and brownie mix and, as a special gift, Nutella. Also, Kasper came home from the store and proved that I'm his favorite. ;) I've been bothering him all day because we ran out of peach yogurt, which along with oatmeal, has been my staple food. And when he got home from the store he told me: "Sydney, I like you five liters of peach yogurt." He loves me. Anyways, today has been really nice and super chill, hopefully tomorrow is the same. :) Hope y'all are doing well! I love you tons!
Much love,
Sydney
