Can't Wait to See the Aurora Borealis

Only 23 days until I fly to Alaska! The logistics of the next few weeks are beginning to become real, and some might say overwhelming.
Not only am I considering all the logistics of packing, attending a week long orientation in Boulder March 15-20, and then participating in an Arctic science expedition; I'm also in full swing of running my own business Wild Rose Education, designing a new fall course syllabus for Colorado Mountain College SUS-440 Watershed Science and Land Use Impacts, finalizing the logistics for five graduate level educator classes this summer, presenting at three conferences between now and the end of April, making sure I've got taxes and bills paid, and looking for new housing here in my community. Yet, I'm confident it will all happen and turn out quite well. Thankfully I'm really good at planning and paying attention to details. And hopefully I can prove to be incredibly flexible. As with any expedition, things change at any given moment and one has to be ready to flex, and also try to be okay with the new situation.

One phenomenon I'm really hoping to experience are the northern lights or aurora borealis. It will be my first time to experience them.

Thanks to the MOSAiC Expedition, I found these really neat website links:

So I'm not going to Boulder next week for the PolarTREC Orientation due to covid-19. Instead much of the orientation will be presented virtually through Zoom.
