January 30

I was walking past a window and saw a whale. Surely the night's highlight. My co-worker left on a morale trip for the south pole. She will be there for an hour before it's time to turn around and come back.

The last day to mail packages from McMurdo is in two days. I sent home many the things (mostly excess clothes) that I won't be needing for my travels in New Zealand.

I've started thinking about post-Antarctic work.
