We left Longyearbyen At Around 6:30 Supper Time. Then Me, Hailey And Jozef Also Students, Had The First Shift Of Look-Outs. So As Usual, I Was First To Steer the Ship,, I\u2019m So Proud Of Myself!, And I Was The First To Go up In Front of The Ship Where There is A Net We Can Stand On, But I Had To Use A Safety Rope, So I A Limited Area To Walk On.. I Couldn\u2019t Go Right to The Tip That Was BORING!!!. Our Look-Out Shifts Are 2-3 Hours Long, And We\u2019re In 4 Groups Of 3 People per Group. So Far We Haven\u2019t Seen Anything, but Sure Enough We\u2019ll See Something Tomorrow! I\u2019m Finally Feeling Excited, Just Because I Know That I\u2019ll Be Asking Some Scientist Questions About The Future And I\u2019ll Be Doing My Research! Can\u2019t Wait..<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nIn That Case, I Would Like To Place A Bet On My Own Questions. I Bet The Bug Population Back Home Will Keep Growing More And More, And The Weather Will Keep Getting Hotter, And Our Winters Will Keep Getting Shorter, Until We Have No More Lakes And Everything Burns Down And There Is No More life On Earth\u2026LOL, I\u2019m Exaggerating!.Svalbard Is Almost Exactly Like Home, But Their It A Lot Of Mountains!, There Nice Though, Especially When The Sun Shines On Them, Sooo Sweet!.Oh Yeah, And You Can Also Use The Mountains To Steer The Ship.. Well, You Aim Something Towards A Mountain And Of That Thing Is Moving Out Of Place, You Know The Ship Is Turning Slowly, Simple Eh:D. I Really Can\u2019t Wait Until Tomorrows Adventure, Maybe We\u2019ll See Some Animals. Well, Heading To Bed, Which Is Approx. 6 by 2 \u00bd Feet And My Room Is 6 by 6 Feet, But The Other Kids Have Smaller Rooms, I Feel So Lucky. All Of The Rooms Have Sinks To Wash Up In The Morning And\/Or To Wash Our Hands After Using The Toilet, And The Washroom Is 3 Doors Down From My Room. The Washroom Is Approximately 5 Feet By 3 Feet Or 4 Feet by 3 Feet Or 3 By 4. And In The Washrooms (4 Of Them) There is A Toilet And A Shower And Just A Curtain To Separate Them.. Okay Good Night.<\/p>\n<p>Love All<\/p>\n<p>B.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[photopress:1stmate_doriana_rz_lowres.jpg,full,pp_image]\u00a0 Finally On The Ship, After A Week Of Preparation.
