Hi Ms. Herrmann!

Sorry it's been a while! I've been trying to read as many journals as I can in my free time. I can't wait for you to return on the 15th! I know most of what is going on, but I want to hear about all the little funny stories that happened while you were gone! You're missing a strange burst of warm weather here in State College - sadly I don't think it will last very long. I love looking at all the pictures you post along with the journals, they make me want to go to Antarctica! You have met a lot of new people on this trip - do you think you will stay in touch with them after you return back home?

Hey Claire!I am looking forward to seeing everyone too. I will be back in school on 3/19! I've heard about the warm weather in State College- I hope it's sunny in addition to being warm! Yes, I think I'll stay in touch with a lot of the people I met on my trip (Facebook is good for that). By the way, I gave Dr. Amsler, Dr. McClintock, Maggie Amsler and the grad students Julie and Kate a Polar Ambassadors t-shirt and they LOVED them.) I hope you get to go to Antarctica one day- it's a special place.
See you soon,
-Ms. Herrmann
