Sunday morning is a
bit of a lazy time here as it is the day off for most people. I will
be working though as I am giving half of the Sunday Science Talk
tonight. This was unexpected and I first found out when I was getting
off the Herc and still had my earplugs in. As I have gotten used to
the altitude it has seemed less daunting. In fact I am looking
forward to it. It will be a chance to get a lot more people involved
in our projects. The other half (of the Science Talk) will be Karina
Leppik, a TEA (Teachers Experiencing Antarctica) participant who is
working with the AST/RO
group.
I slept well last night and I may even try to play soccer today.
We plan to take some pictures of the Dark Sector and the CARA
telescopes.
