Hi Amber!
Geat questions!! Being here is fun, exciting and was a little scary when I fell through the ice a couple of weeks ago. I actually feel right at home here, so it doesn't feel too weird. The life under the ice is VERY interesting. Are you guys joining our webinar next week?? I'll be showing some of the first pictures that SCINI took out under the McMurdo Ice Shelf. I do  miss my family, friends and cats...AND my students!! Because I'm able to call them pretty much whenever I want, I find that that helps. I talk to my parents about once a week. I even called them from the satellite phone when I was in the field!!
So, do people say that you don't have questions or a mind. If they say either, they're WRONG!!!
Take care!! Go Bulldogs!
