Taking Advantage of Campus

Today was a slightly down day, especially compared to yesterday. Our professor was great and pushed back class until 11, so I got to catch up on some sleep. In the afternoon, we had a speaker come talk about how climate change and the biosphere interact with each other. She was probably our 5th or 6th speaker so far and I'm beginning to notice a pattern in all of their talks. Everyone's topics are overlap slightly and there always seem to be repeated graphs/diagrams. Which makes staying interested in the talks a little difficult, but sadly Alaska can't be all fun.

After we finished up with class, we decided to take advantage of UAF's campus and went ice skating. I really wish UNC had an ice rink on campus. That would totally make for some fun times. The guy at the ice rink even gave us a deal so we only had to pay four dollars instead of eight.

That's basically it for today. Tomorrow should be much more exciting though. We're skipping class for the day and visiting the permafrost tunnel and hot springs. It should be fun to go to such different temperature extremes in one day.

To end it, here is me with Santa. Meeting the big guy was such an honor.
