Me and Anna at the Beach+ Acie Bowls

Party at Waimea Beach!

Last Saturday was my first official weekend at school. On of the most popular places here in the Laie area to hang out is Weimina beach. It is a beautiful beach with white sand and clear blue water! The best part is the cliff jumping!! It is so much fun! the first time I was a little scared, so i just jumped off. Then I saw all these guys doing crazy flips off the cliff. So I was like I can do that! And I did~ I did front flips, front flips with a half twist, and back flips! It was way to much fun! After the beach we went to this little shack like place that is famous for its Acie bowls. Acie is a type of fruit here. They are amazing and huge! They are like smoothies in a bowl with granola, honey and bananas on top! They are amazing. It was a great way to start off the school year!

Books and Stuff~

So I bought my books today (pictured to the left). There are four Social Work Books and an Astronamy book. You wouldn't believe how much they cost. Well I'll tell you that 428.25$ Has depleted my bank account. That is the most I've ever had to pay for books and it was Extreemly Painfull!

Here are some pictures of my tiny room! I am really glad that I'm not really fat because it would be hard to move around in here if I was! Everything is painted an awfull color of pink/purple.

This is the courtyard of Hale three. Its really nice, even though its been kinda rainy today.

And Just a random picture of me :)

I'm In Hawaii!!

This is Temple Beach, and Hokiluw beach (I don't think that's how its spelled)

Ok so I'm going to try to blog semi regularly now that I'm in Hawaii and people want to know whats going on, so here you go. I'll just start from the beginning. On Saturday I got to the airport at seven thirty and my flight left at nine. When I was sitting in the terminal waiting for boarding to start Haley Pratt, a girl from my stake came over and started talking to me. She came to BYUH last year and we were on the same plane. Then I asked her where she was sitting and she was like 29h you? And I said I'm 29j! So we sat together and talked some of the way but slept most of the way. when we got the Airport in Honolulu I asked her how she was getting to school. She had arranged for some friends to pick her up at 12:30. I was going to take the school shuttle that left at 3:30, but I was able to get a ride with her and her friends. That was really nice because I didn't have to wait at the airport forever. The rest of the day Saturday was spent unpacking, then we met up for dinner. That's when I met Anna. (Haley's on the end and Anna's in the middle.) Then Saturday we went to the volleyball game. This school actually has competitive sports!

Sunday I had church at nine. My ward seems pretty good. There wasn't very many people there yet so hopefully it will be a little bigger this week. There was also a fireside Sunday night that I went to with Haley, Anna, and our other friend Mandy.

Monday I had to do all of the orientation stuff and get a TB shot! not fun. Then we went to Foodland, it's the grocery store here and we got some stuff. Then we went to the beach! It is just down the street from campus! And its really nice and so pretty!

Tuesday we went to the beach for like 4 hours! And now I'm a little sun burnt, but not too bad.

So Hawaii has been great so far! The cafeteria food isn't the best but it could be worse I guess. The people are nice and I'm already in a group of friends. I am officially in the Social Work Program so that's great. I've applied for like 9 jobs so hopefully that will all work out. But that's all for now. I have to go and take a Bacholorat Assessment test! YEAH ME

ps. my spell check isn't working!! big problem :)
