You'd be on the f*cking space station. I doubt that easily gets boring, especially if you're an astronaut :)
I'd like to say yes, you're right. But you're in a relatively small place, it was unplanned by a large margin so there's less to do for work, and I know the amazement of literally anywhere would start to wear out after being there non stop 24/7 with little to do. Plus neither astronaut is a first timer. They've both been in space quite a bit already.
So how long will the amazement of being weightless and out in space last before its closer to normal than amazing? I'm sure nasa has been trying to keep them busy up there.
