Sunglasses and Shoes!

My very awesome sunglasses arrived the other day. They have very strong protection, and have little pieces that cover the sides of my eyes so no light can seep in. Apparently, you can go "snowblind" in Antarctica, which just sounds painful and I don't want to happen to me. I also have ordered shoes for wearing in the kitchen during my workshifts, which should arrive soon.

I got this whole list of things to bring with me to McMurdo, including a halloween costume. So I am thinking that I will bring my old school uniform- always a good costume.

I will hopefully leave between the 6th and the 11th of August. This is all coming up so soon, in just a few weeks! I hope I am ready. I have been going to the gym every day, trying to get in better shape because I will be on my feet 10 hours a day working.

I can't believe its almost here.
