And the people, there were people around me, they just started laughing hysterically.

We're all just grinning and like cracking up and we're all just like drugged by the sun.

This biological reaction was so strong that I wrote in my diary that day that I thought it was cool that I spent a winter that far north because for the rest of my life, I would always be completely happy while the sun was in the sky.

And I cannot emphasize the degree to which I truly thought this would be true for the rest of my life.

That is how strong of a drug sunlight is when you haven't been seeing it.

That's amazing.

So this is what Ada's going through and the other guys, Ada and Crawford and Mar and Gall and Knight.

They've made it through winter.

It's still 30 below.

It's going to snow for months, blah, blah, blah.

But there's this real sense of achievement.

Like the sun is coming up for a little bit longer every day.

They feel like it's just downhill until summer and the ship's going to come back and Ada can go home and she's going to get Bennett and bring him back to Seattle.

And the guys can decide, like, do they want to stay?

Do they want to go?

They're going to get a ton more food and supplies dropped off.

They're going to get letters from their family.

Gall can get more candy.

Like, it's just going to be great.

You're stressing me out.
