Hi Mr. gillette this is Alyssa from Ruskin high school. How's it going down there at antarctic?

Brandon Gillette

Things down here are going quite well. I'm really just trying to get used to life where the sun never sets. So far that's been the hardest thing to get used too. At least for now, everything else is fairly similar to home. We eat 3 meals a day, get to shower, use the computer, watch tv, etc. You'll have to keep in touch with the journals in about a week when we leave the comforts of McMurdo and head to the field. I have a feeling things are going to change just a bit.Cheers,~Gillette
