Warning! Incoming Photo-dump! Warning! Incoming Photo-dump!

So, big photo-dump coming up, ladies and gents. We (Ryder, Paul, David, Myriam, Barbara, Bond, Andrew, Göngu-Jonas,* and I) went to Þórsmörk yesterday. It was absolutely stunning. And, keeping with tradition, I managed to injure myself while helping a fellow Þórsmörk-goer cross a fairly fast-moving glacial stream. The sudden onset of an absurd amount of discomfort whenever I step with my left foot has caused me to ingest Tylenol 3s to the point where getting around anywhere other than my desk, my bed or my chair seems like a ridiculous plan, but my ankle is no longer sore. Thus you get an earlier update than normal!

Before the photo-dump, though, I figure I should let you people know what's new. I'm applying for a second MA at the University of Toronto. And an MPhil. at Cambridge. Yes, that Cambridge. The forms just need to be submitted by 3 December for Cambridge (which entails me writing and submitting a paper for Torfi very shortly and finagling a .pdf copy of my transcripts from Brock) and 15 January for UofT. So that's cool.

I also have a paper due for Viðar on Monday. And I need to finish off editing my writing sample for both applications. And I have an exam on the 5th of December. So things are gonna be a touch hectic.

Anyway, time for what you people came here for! As there are around 50 or so photos, I've put them below a jump. Breaking from tradition, I've decided to only caption a few of these, but you can make up your own commentary, or feel free to ask me in the comments section.

This glacier should look familiar to anyone who had their travel plans disrupted last year

* Göngu-Jonas meaning "Walking-Jonas." We gave him the nickname because, no matter where we are, Jonas just happens to show up; I'm fairly certain that he has walked everywhere on the island. In fact, our current theory is that, in ten years, Paul, Ryder, and I will be teaching summer courses at separate universities and Jonas will just show up for all of them. Without planning on meeting us again. Because that's the way he rolls.
