I awoke late due to a 3pm fire alarm (middle of my night's sleep) which involved me standing outside for 20 minutes in my pajamas and big red coat. "Sonic Antarctic" is like a film festival but with just audio recordings; while I thought it sounded like a great idea, most of the recordings were just annoying industrial sounds from around campus and a bunch of scientist's recordings of the ground moving, etc. (equally annoying).
I found this cool looking rock and thought it was petrified wood and I showed it to a scientist and he said it wasn't petrified wood, but I still like my rock even if it isn't as cool as I once presumed.
I finished off the day by going for a walk to check out the progress the icebreaker ship is making. Lots of folks from the icebreaker were helicoptered onto campus, presumably to get a break from the boat. Isn't it kind of funny to think that they are all so happy to get onto campus while we would all be so happy to get to go on the boat?

Hi Lucas,
I teach second grade at Parkway. I've been following your blog. What an adventurous life you're leading!
Our second graders will begin a unit on Arctic and Antarctic habitats soon. Would you be willing to answer a few of their questions about life in the Antarctic? I think we'd be ready for our questions about the last week of January or first week of February.
I'm planning to use parts of your blog, if that's ok with you, along with a children's book called Antarctic Journal.
Also, we'd love to have you talk to us about your adventures when you come back to the area!
You can reach me at robbint@parkwayschools.org.
Thanks! Looking forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely,
Traci Robbins

Hey,
Of course I will try to answer any questions for the kids. I will send you an email.
I don't mind if you use part of my blog. (You may want to leave out the part about the drunken Santa.)
