How many people do you live with? Is the food you eat better than the cafeteria food? :)

Hi Rylee,I share a room with one other person. This person is now a male, they tried to put me in a room with a girl at first. Can you believe that? There are about 780 people at McMurdo, and 6 people presently living at Lake Hoare (our field camp). Happily, I have my own tent and do not have to share with any gross girls.The food is mostly better than the cafeteria food at school. I have not eaten it at school but I feel pretty sure about it. Sadly our fresh food has run out until February- Bummer! Also, at Lake Hoare we eat really well because the ladies that cook here know what they are doing and really take good care of us.See you soon,JK
