OHMYGOD MORGAN YOU'RE SO TAN

Before I even begin, let me just say... 

I GOT A UKUELE!!!! I CAN NOT CONTAIN MY EXCITMENT! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY FOR TOO LONG!!!! IT'S SO MAJESTIC AND BEAUTIFUL AND JUST SO HAPPY SOUNDING!!! (I just called my ukulele an it!! Scratch that! My ukulele is anything but an it! A he or a she? I haven't decided yet... and I can't decide on a name. I want it to be something Hawaiian cause it is a ukulele after all! But nothing has me like, "OHMYGOD YES! THAT'S THE PERFECT NAME!!) And yes I actually can play it!                       To some extent...

And let's just take a moment and rejoice, ONLY 31 DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT!!! 

So as you know, or may not know, last week was spring break. And I don't want to bore you to death with what I did step by step, minute for minute, millisecond for millisecond but I really have no other option here. Like do you really want to know what I pack? (We all know it's clothes and that's about it. No entertainment need. I got this thing in my head called a brain. Ever heard of it? Probably not because most people don't have one, I'm one of the lucky ones. But my brain can entertain me for a longgggg time. No knowing what will pop in and out of this head of mine.) 
Isn't this the truth!

Spring Break (Urban Dictionary definition): So there were lots of interesting definitions... But here's the one that speaks the most truth with not as much detail as some of them... "A time of year usually during late March or early April where high school and college kids have an excuse to party and get drunk. it also gives an excuse to hook up with anyone and everyone, no matter who you have back home." Words related to Spring Break: vacation, party, drunk, beach, girls gone wild, college, and lots of word I'm not going to type on a school computer. 

I have not experienced a Spring Break any where near that person's expectations.

So I know all of you really want to know what Morgan did over break. And I know this because if you are reading this you are either a. stalking my blog b. want to know more about me c. my mom d. some creepy old man on the Internet e. some reason I can't think of at this particular moment in time

It is indeed your lucky day. Here is what I did over break. *Applause* But don't work I included my wonderful sarcasm and thoughts of mine. So no need to worry, it will keep you from falling asleep.

So the first few days weren't that exciting, I slept, ate, slept some more, watched some TV, ate some food, did some community service, hit my head REALLY hard so then I read for the next few days in darkness possibly ruining my vision (but not really), and that basically sums it up.

But then...

On Wednesday we left to go camping at Quail Creek State Park after I went to the Orthodontist. (This time he said it’ll be a few more months because last time he screwed up and allowed this gap to occur between my two front teeth and I’m just sitting there all happy and understanding but on the inside I’m like, WELL WHY DID YOU SCREW IT UP!?!?! YOU SAID I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN THEM OFF NOW! THANKS A LOT!) Then while my teeth were in pain from this stupid power chain I had to sit in the car for six hours and the worst part, I wasn’t able to eat anything. Thanks orthodontist. 


Swimmin' in the river
Guess what I had to do the first day there? Biking. Oh what joy. And the best part, it was down-hill single track. Yay! (That whole last section just imagine so much sarcasm you want to punch me in the face.) But Morgan, at least it’s downhill! Wrong! Remember the last time I did intense down hill? No well you obviously have a horrible memory or you never read that post.... This just got awkward for all of us. 

Biking ended up being worth it but only because I swam in a river afterwards and it was totally awesome but of course I was the tester to see how cold & deep the water was. So I jumped in from this rock expecting it to be super deep so I went all the way under but then I stood up and it wasn’t even to my waste. I was like “ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!” Oh and I also got ice cream! Which was the only reason I agreed to bike in the first place. 

The next day we hiked Angel’s Landing in Zion National Park and my first thought was, Wow! this would be a perfect spot for an episode of Pretty Little Liars because A could try and push one of them off and it would be super intense but they get away (like always) sprinting down Walter’s Wiggles and one of them trips and falls and yeah...

And my second thought while climbing the death wish, Ew! How many people have touched these chains! GERMSSSS! That little boy up there probably just picked his nose and wiped it all over this and that dad didn't wash his hands after using the port-a-potty. 

Look at that view...! Not the rocks you dumbo! Those two
sexy people front & center!
Anywaysssss... this wasn’t my first time doing this hike. I’ve done it before when I was younger once just to Boy Scout Landing and then in sixth grade, I did the whole hike even the part with the sheer cliffs. And if you ever have the opportunity, definitely do this hike, even if you are afraid of heights. Perfect chance to over come that fear!


But when we were hiking up I over heard a conversation between a little boy and who I believe was his dad. The little one said, “When you were standing on the edge of the rock taking a picture I had an urge to push you off.” The dad appeared kinda sad but in a cherry voice he asked, “Why is that?” “I don’t know.” The little boy answered. The dad responded, “Sometimes I have that urge to. But the good thing is that we both controlled it and didn’t push anyone off the cliff.” The little boy seemed content and said, “I’m glad you didn’t push me off.” “Me too.” said el padre. What a nice father    son bonding moment. 

‘Twas the next morning and Morgan was up because the sun was awake which means she’s awake. And everyone else was asleep so instead of building a snowman (1. there was no snow 2. she doesn’t have a sister with magical powers) so she read. All morning. She read the book from 1/4 of the way done to every single page at the end. Even those boring awknoledgements. Then she went paddle boarding and thought some very deep thoughts. Thoughts that were so deep she can’t even accept the fact they were thought in her own brain. Deep like questioning the meaning of life deep, and questioning every human reaction like fear, happiness and sadness. Some revoloving around the reactions of other people at Angels Landing. So if you want to here all the super deep stuff, just vote on the poll to the right and maybe you’ll get to hear it. 

After paddle boarding we went to the Red Cliffs (Red Reef Trail) and it was red cliffs with some water in the area but still totally awesome! And once again, guess who was the tester? Yours truly. 

     I was the first to go into the pools (to make sure the water wasn't too cold because it won't matter 
     if Morgan freezes over and can't swim out) along with the job to see how deep they were. 

     So there was this really steep slide and I went first. To make sure there was no rock in the water 
     where Tyler could potentially hurt himself, don't worry about Morgan. 

     There was like a seven foot cliff to jump into one of the pools, and I was first. 


Tyler jumping off the cliff, selfie with the fam, and T-Fish sliding down the slide

But we all know the real reason Morgan was the first to do all of this, she's anything but chicken, she's a dare devil. *Dramatic slow motion wink*

So I’m currently writing this on the car ride home. What? Morgan, how are you doing that without Internet? Well, let me tell you. I’m smarter than the Internet, I’m writing on a Pages document. *Mind blown!!* But the whole reason I mentioned that is because I can NOT sit any longer!!! My butt is about to fall off!!! And now my pathetic dog Zac is up on the seats taking up all the space and is big fat head is on my leg so now that leg has fallen asleep and he’s asleep and isn’t waking up so now my butt and leg are in pain. This is just fantastic. And I have to sit here for another three hours. Yay!
Apparently I make a fantastic pillow 
So hopefully I’ll get home soon enough to study for that AP vocab test I have tomorrow (first period) that I completely forgot about. And of course I left my text book at home so I’m kinda screwed... Wish me luck!

Thanks for reading and I hope to see you next week on Let's See What Boring Stuff Morgan Did This Week!

Adios!

P.S. You should check out my last blog post because it now as a new and improved totally rad video Molly and I made about being bored. Enjoy! :)

Oh and totally 100% forgot. That title... Yeah I really couldn't think of a clever title so I came up with that because it's my response from literally everyone.


Now it's your turn to solve the mystery. Was I burnt and it turned into a tan? Just tan? Or a sunburn disguised as a tan?

Here are more pictures: Just because I can ;)

So that cliff that I'm trying to hold, yeah that's what I hiked.
And I went up all those switch backs and touched all those
germy chains. 
Small people fit in small places

There's a giant shark swimming under neath me, just so you know

  1. No way I went to Red Cliffs too! What day did you go? We went on a day when it was super crowded, but you probably went on a different day since it looked empty in your pictures! Lucky! ;)

    1. We went Saturday. It was later in the day though and we passed tons of people leaving because it had begun to rain.
