It is remarkable how much stuff you have to take care of before you can responsibly fall off the face of the earth for 7 months. Antarctica, being the most remote place imaginable, only heightens this. In the past few weeks since I have gotten home, my to-do list has only grown and grown. Cancelling my cell phone, cancelling my car insurance, paying off all credit cards because I can't exactly get bills, packing- including everything I need but still leaving 20 pounds for the gear they give me when I get there, buying shoes sunglasses and my own winter gear, filling out reimbursements, etc. etc.
But, even though its all this busy work, its getting more and more exciting by the day! And so close! I've had an old friend from high school visiting for a few days, which has given me my own vacation from all of this, but after she leaves it will be pushing towards the finish line for sure.
Antarctica here I come! (Well, Denver first)

Is that going to be 7 months straight? No in between breaks?
