Countdown to the Return Home

Life's no fun without a good scare.

Hello! Sorry this has taken me so long. I sort of took a long time to get around to putting this together. Doh.



And because it's so late, here's a little bonus for y'all:




In other news, Halloween was this weekend! I dressed up as the last girl standing. Observe:


Pretty freaking awesome chainsaw, huh? That'll teach that psycho-killer to crash MY prom... :P

I went to a party close to campus with several friends, including Aran the Warlock, Scarlett the French (Canadian) Maid, Rachael the Cowgirl/Taylor Swift, Emil the Golden Girl and Thomas the OHMYGOD WHAT THE HELL IS THAT GET IT AWAY FROM ME!!!!


More photos on the photo dump, including several stolen from friends. Halloween is easily the best holiday. :)

Love and terror,
Morgan

Hundreds of dolphins!

Third time's the charm for getting video footage of N. Stradbroke Island, apparently. :)




Headed out to Fraser this weekend for a camping trip with Krista. Will report back. :) In other news, actual final start in two weeks, and I will be home in exactly two months! Where does the time go?

Love,
Morgan

Finals are suck.

Explanations for this video:

1. Yes, the Happy Birthday sign is still there. It no longer serves any function and should therefore be taken down and thrown away, but I feel sorry for it so I haven't.
2. Don't ask me about the pan flute dancers. I don't know.




Hope you're less stressed out than I am!

Like living in a postcard.

Alright, I know I only just posted a video yesterday but I've finished this sooner than I thought I would, so I figured I'd post it anyway. :) There are a few things the video does not make note of that I feel are necessary to properly experiencing it, however, so here they are:

1. It is BLOODY HOT throughout this video.
2. Most of the inland parts of the island smelled like chicken manure, because of the damn Noddy Turns, which use their poop to cement their nests. This is why we spent so much time on the beach.
3. The island is located several miles off shore, and it is tiny, and there were only about 150 people on it. Isolation? You betcha!*
4. Even though it was the #1 activity, there is no footage of snorkeling or wetsuits. Get over it. Or buy me a waterproof digital camera. :P Otherwise, just use your imagination.
5. There are some random cuts...I don't really have an excuse for that other than that I'm still new to this vlogging thing and didn't always narrate where I should have. Oops.

That is all. Enjoy. :)





Much love,
Morgan

P.S. New photos on the dump, too. Check them out!


*The Research Station shares the island with a rather expensive resort, so there were parts of the island we were not allowed to explore, but we still saw the visitors fairly regularly and I'm counting them here.
