Journalist Report Title: New Years Eve
This morning, we woke up to the smell of French toast and coffee before starting our day. Today, Idris, Katharina, and Vindhya had an early EVA, so they all had time to work on their respective research out in the field. They took the rovers to Kissing Camel Ridge before climbing up so Idris could place her sensors. Once they climbed back down, they headed north so Vindhya could take photos of Kissing Camel Ridge for her identification system. Once they had completed all their tasks, they came back to the hab and took off all their gear before heading up to help finish the puzzle Keegan started.
We had all originally planned to eat lunch around this time, however we all got so invested in the puzzle we decided to wait. Eventually we got to a point where the puzzle was almost done that we took a break to get leftovers and make sandwiches for lunch with some questionable whole wheat bread. However, when finishing the puzzle we ran into a problem: there were multiple pieces missing. Thanks to Keegan and Katharina, though, the last pieces were found in the cabinet and we were able to finish the puzzle. After that we played a long game of BS before eventually parting ways to rest a bit before the busy night. During this time, I worked on making cinnamon raisin bread and a cake to ring in the new year.
While those were baking, Ben and I headed to the science dome to work on forming his bricks from the soil sample he collected yesterday. The rest of the night involves us working on our research projects, playing games, and celebrating the new year!
