Week 36: expeditioning to the frozen south begins TOMORROW!

alright guys, THIS IS IT!

i'll be leaving for Hobart at 6 am tomorrow and will be onboard the Aurora Australis heading down south by 4 pm. that's 4 pm Sydney time! i think it'll be a long cold summer for me but what the fuck who cares THIS IS IT.

anyway, it was really good catching up with all you people who i saw over the past month. and if i didn't see u before this, well, i'll see you when i get back - hopefully with all my appendages intact lol! don't be grossed out if i come and shake your hand with 4 fingers on my right hand or if i bend over to kiss you on the cheek nose-less. I AM STILL HUMAN OK!?

if you need to email me while i'm on the boat (will be on the damned thing for 10 days, more give than take), my email address is Melanie.Ho@aurora.aad.gov.au and i can receive emails only three times everyday! if for some reason that email address doesn't work, then try Mel.Ho@aurora.aad.gov.au and if it STILL doesn't work, then, well, i guess we're fucked cos the ship probably sank somewhere out there in the southern ocean.

if you're still in australia, CALL ME TOMORROW! if you're in malaysia, you can still CALL ME TOMORROW! if you're somewhere else outside of malaysia OR australia (like, say, oh i don't know, portland or something), CALL ME TOMORROW! i leave only at 4pm so i'll have plenty of time to kill and chat with ANYONE OF YOU! this is urgent it might just be the last time you hear my voice /gloom.

ok anyway, gotta go! LOVE YOU ALL!
