The first day of the days before some future date

Today was the first day of my SURF grant period at the lab and, as predicted, it felt like every other day at the lab. That's not to say, though, that I didn't move forward with my research. I have a renewed drive and sense of ownership of this study after AGU so I spent time today exploring some rogue events that didn't act like most of the others I analyzed. While the "well-behaved" events showed wave power decreasing linearly from Halley Bay toward the south magnetic pole, some events showed a peak in power at either P2 or South Pole station (that's the south geographic pole) and a drop-off on either side. I want to know if that drop off (i.e. power loss) is still linear on both sides.

Other than that, I did some housekeeping business related to sending data to Marc and Hyomin, and turning in receipts from AGU.

After one day, I am enjoying my 9-5. I like getting a taste of what I've been missing: getting up around 7, going to work at 9, taking lunch at noon and saying "alright, fine - I guess I'll just have to fix this tomorrow" at 5. The weather was delish, as well.
