Hi Heidi! Well, you've been at the WAIS site for two months now. We've been reading your journals and my students are wondering how you feel about all this. Besides seeing your family and husband , what is the one thing you wish you could do or have most right now?? What is the one thing that continues to inspire you? Take care!

Lollie and Redd School Students,Thank you for the great questions!
Being in the field is a challenge but rewards are great too. Of course, I miss my family but in many ways, the folks here at WAIS are my family too! If I could do anything, I would probably like to go for a trail run in the mountains! Selfish, but I would really like some quiet 'Heidi time'.
As far as inspiration, I am inspired daily by the people who surround me in camp. Each individual here has something amazing to contribute. The stories and support provided by all of the WAIS folks is so wonderful. I feel so lucky to be able to interact with such wonderful, talented people! (It is so similar to the PolarTREC network :))
Many thanks for following along,
Heidi
