Later we tried to go to the coffee house for a drink but it was packed in there. It was open mike night and it was crazy busy. I ended up staying for a little while but it was getting so hot and loud that I ended up bailing early. I went to bed after that, lame I know. It was like 9:30 on a Friday night and I was in bed. Oh well...
Sat. morning we launched an ozonesonde. It was the one named after me, Stephanie. We decided to try a rubber balloon too since it is warmer in the stratosphere. It was interesting, we suck at rubber balloon because we never use them. We were so awkard, it was terrible. But we got the balloon off the ground. Turns out we under inflated it and then the stupid thing broke early. Bad launch.
It was super windy that day too, we were supposed to get a huge storm. Didn't happen but Leslie and I were prepared with movies and snacks. We watch Phonebooth that night, terrible movie. The only thing that saved that movie was that it was only 81 minutes long.
Sunday, I told you about brunch already and then the rest of the day was boring. Cleaning the lab and packing up the bigger the instruments. There was also a science lecture that night. It was about microbes on the bottom of lakes in the dry valleys here in Antarctica. It was interesting but it got sort of long in the end for me. The lectures are at 8:15 pm and by the time it gets to 9:30, I sort of zone out.
Monday has been boring. It was windy and cold all day. So the second helo flight was cancelled and I've been wasting time. Twins lost, boo. Though I am glad to say, I have officially started my thesis. It's a whole sentence long then I ran into a problem. I have to read a paper and get some shit straight. But it is started... officially. I opened a new document, titled it and wrote a sentence. That is started.
Ok I wasted enough time, I should try to do something productive. Maybe I'll go to the gym, it is not the office. Happy Monday everyone!
