230 tubes!
If the GC doesn't stop I'll have 230 tubes tomorrow morning... wow, I doubted so much that it was possible... Well, keep your fingers crossed for me!

Preparing for Zackenberg
Leaving on tuesday. Hopefully with 230 tubes. We have 105 clean tubes at the moment. 40 is in the GC and some 100 tubes are still to be analysed. You think I can make it?! I don't. Each tube takes 50 min to analyse, and it takes maybe an hour to start the GC. we can load it with 70 tubes... and I have to check in at 12 on tuesday.. Interesting.
There is 2 alternatives, either we make it and I leave copenhagen with 230 tubes or I have to skip some of the measurements.. Which is really bad and I hate it. I'm really looking forward to next summer when we are not 4 PhDs on fieldwork at the same time, maximum 2... Lots of tubes!
I have started to pack by things. I really wish that I can fit everything, including the tubes (12.6 kg), in by backpack. It is almost impossible to get it under 20 kg, but the limit in reality is 30 kg (otherwise the airport personell will not carry it). And I wont be able to carry it myself if it is more than 30 anyway. On my way back from Disko it was 25 kg, and it felt very heavy (at that time I had 117 tubes).
Well, otherwise nothing exciting happens here. I'm trying to organize my self and all the stuff I'm bringing. Printing some articles and trying to think of all the details. The weather forecast is promising, I do believe that the twin otter will fly and that I actually will be in Zackenberg on wednesday. If not I wish with my whole heart that I have to wait on island and not constable point (the most depressing place on earth).
So long!

Back i CPH
Since last time I wrote have I moved my self from Disko to Copenhagen. I have also moved my things to my new appartement, and also the wallpaper from the entrence has moved... The last measurements on Disko went well. It was really nice to work together with michelle... I hope she is doing good... In copenhagen are the tubes being analysed as fast as possible and also cleaned so that they can be used again. It is a bit stressful that we need more tubes, at every corner of the world at the same time, than we actually have. I wonder if this month will work out fine.. My mind have started to prepare it self for the upcoming trip to Zackenberg. I am looking forward to go there again, and also because the time goes on really quickly there, so I will very soon be back in my appartement with Lars to restore the mess I have created...
Well, I know that I shouldn't think like that, it is amazing to be there and I should seize the time I have there... I believe that I'll have quite a lot to do, which is good, but I hope I will have time to do some hiking. The best thing is (hopefully, if the forecast is true) that all the mosquitoes will die just before I arrives (the 17th of July).
back to removal of wallpaper.. =)
