Ouch.
Turns out that the first part of the bio regimen is the easy part. Today we had a shitton of cardio, some of it on low oxygen. By lunchtime I was ready to call it for the day.
Then there was psych. Today I was answering a bunch of invasive questions about everything. My friends, my relationships, my thought processes, my sexuality, and a whole bunch of other things that you’d probably rather not know. They had us answer them in front of the group we’ll be living with, too. Hell of an icebreaker. But, again, there’s not much space up there (at least for us..there’s rather a lot of it in general). We’ll be living in very tight quarters, so they give us a crash course in bonding. And they learn exactly how we’ll go crazy, should we decide to do so.
My roommates topside, assuming we all stick around, will be:
-Raghuraman Ansari, a flight traffic controller from Bangalore,
-Claire Shaughnessy, a refinery tech from Ireland, and
-Yadira Arambula, from down south, who works on communications.
I know a lot of intimate details about them, but I don’t entirely know them yet. But they seem like good people.
They’ve got another teambuilding activity this evening, so I’m out. More later.
