Quokkamole!

So since the weekend of trips, we have had 2 days of Media Frenzy in school, days of review and Quokkas! Media frenzy days were incredible the first day we got to make a tv show and work with the equipment and try out the different roles, i was the floor manager on our "jerry springer" type show. it was so much fun to work hands on in a field that i would not normally get to work with. The second day we did field work, so we followed people in the group around and made a 2 minute video, a much more painful process than you would think haha. the editting was definately the hardest and longest part. Other that than school has been the usual. We have a big photo-narrative project due on tuesday and a media journal due wednesday. The class has been pretty fulfilling, i have definately learned more about myself since i have been here haha. So now back to Quokkas, so a Quokka is a small marsupial that inhabits Rottnest Island, named because the Dutch thought the Quokkas were giant rats, Rat Nest Island. So they are the coolest little animals ever. they hope around and during the day u see a few, but at night they take over the island haha. The trip was incredible, the first day we went snorkeling and saw the most beautiful fish. The 2nd day the people i was with went snorkeling and beach side, but i decided to bike the entire island, it is about 37 km haha. very tiring, but we are all getting ready to leave Perth on friday so we are finishing up our projects, doing laundry, and just gettin ready to get on a plane again. I will update again b4 we leave perth. Today i am off to try to concurr all 1,000 acres of Kings Park!

cheers!
