Antarctica, the second coming.

Just another quick update on my life thus far. I have come to terms with the fact that my life has entered into 'that' phase, where it can be broken down, concised and defined into many many 'quick updates'. Anyway, it's already been a week since I've arrived for a second term on Davis station, in the southernmost frontier. Work has been going well even though I've been working like a dog, sigh.

On to other news...I've forgotten so much about A-Factor (Antarctica to the uninitiated). Only in Antarctica do minor cuts take FOREVER to heal (i have 3 tiny cuts on my finger and they are still painful and raw because the air is so dry here, the cells can't bind together to form a scab. sigh). Also, no matter how much moisturising cream i slather onto my face, by the next morning, my skin feels as tight as ...(insert your own analogy here), i hate it. ALSO, i'd forgotten how the cold literally SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPS into the bones.

ah well. i will think of many many 'only in Antarctica' facts along the way. Tally ho, i shall try to write a better, and perhaps, longer post some day soon. when i'm not being worked to death, that is. CHEERIO, you people living in warmer climes! i hate you.
