I spent the day making graphs and analyzing my data from the first three stations. The filtered samples match the trends and measurements from the instrument fairly well. It’s always a boost to have data. And sensible, accurate, representative data, at that. It justifies why you work late nights, sampling and working in the lab. It makes you feel like a scientist.
We hit station 6 tomorrow; 15S, 100W. We’re turning the corner on our rectangular survey.

In other news, I “watched” the Cuse vs. UConn game online yesterday. And by “watched” I mean looked at the score updates and play feed on Yahoo Sports. Not the same as watching a real game at all. But, it was still a tense end there. And we won! Man, oh, man, ‘Cuse. I watched every game possible before getting to S. America. You better make it so I can watch you when I get home!

I’ve had some really weird and vivid dreams on the boat. I don’t know if it’s the rocking or not being in my own bed, altered sleep patterns, or just being deep in thought about some things. But I’m not the only person who has expressed this.

Two of the scientists on board came up with this great idea: the bad day box. It’s filled with little ridiculous toys and gag gifts. I got to pull from it the other day when I lost my iPod. I opened a bag to receive (how appropriate) a little toy airplane. Today, when I got to open my lab’s “Are We There Yet?” calendar, I pulled out yet another toy airplane. Are these toys trying to tell me something? :-P I think I will hang them above my bench.

That’s it for now – hope you all are well!
