WARNING! DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME

On Wednesday Me and some friends decided to go on a little 14 mile hike up to Laie falls! It was soo pretty! It was a fairly easy hike and the water fall and pond felt really good after hiking for two hours! The trail was super muddy cuz it had been raining earlier that day but that made it even more fun specially because we all wore flip flops! This is my friend Austin

The water was freezing!!!!

We saw this sign on the way up and we all thought it was pretty funny that the people of Laie warn the drivers that they have slow kids at play! I had to take a picture by it! Ok so this was Wednesday oct 14.

This is a picture from last Saturday. Me and Erica at Ala Moana mall in Honolulu! We really wanted to go to the swap meet that is usually held every Saturday at Aloha stadium but it had been canceled because U of H had an early football game that day, so we hit up the mall for a bit instead. It is a huge mall and we had a good time just wondering around. And this was Saturday oct 10. Im a little out of order. haha oh well :)

Yesterday was another amazing Hawaiian Saturday! I went cliff jumping with a bunch of friends and hung out on the beach for most of the day. In the video i was attempting a front half back tuck and as you can see i didn't quit make the second rotation all the around. I hit the water face and shines first instead of feet first! I was really close though and it really didn't hurt as much as it looked like it did! I love to sound affects! After we got back from the beach the school held its annual Food fest! This is a big party pretty much. All of the school clubs set up tents and sell food from their native countries and then there was a really cool free concert! They had Hawaiian dancers, tiaithsan dancers, and Samoan music and rega music! It was really awesome!

I really am smart!

So last Monday I had to take my first big test! It took me nearly two and a half hours in the testing center to take it and I studied for about three days for it. Today I finally got my grade on it and guess what! I got a 47 out of 50!! I feel like a stinking genius! (As I use spell check to fix like 5 misspelled words lol) Any way I was just really excited about that because I really didn't know how I was going to do. I had an other test this morning that I just finished and I think I did really good on it but we will see! Maybe it is possible to over come genetics! HAHA JUST KIDDING!

Saturday Bowling!

Saturday night after conference we decided we needed to do something fun and active because we had been sitting all day. Since we are all poor, and we don't have a car, our choices were pretty limited. It was also raining pretty hard for a while. We went bowling in the school game room! It was really fun! There were ten of us playing and it only cost 4 dollars each. I almost won the first game, I was winning till the 9th turn. It was a fun game especially because we are all really bad! The second game that we played we made up a rule for each round! That was really funny! We bowled with our eyes closed, with our bad hand, granny style, under the leg and from our stomach... we looked pretty stupid but it was really entertaining!

After that we decided we needed some ice cream so we walked to McDonald's, unfortunately they had just closed, bummer! So we walked to food land (grocery store) and got some treats instead.

Today I had a HUGE test that I just took! I was in the testing center for two and a half hours! Longest test ever! I think I did pretty good but who knows. All the Hawaiian Islands are on flash flood alert for today and tomorrow! Kinda scary, its been raining off and on today and its been super humid this whole week. But it is still nicer here than it is there!!! haha

Please if you are reading my blogs I really like comments :) Thanks!

ALOHA! Story of My Week

No pictures this time but I'm a little bored waiting for my friends to get off work so we can go to dinner so I thought I would tell you all how my week went. There have been a lot of firsts this week which is not unexpected, some where good and others not so much. I am enjoying my classes for the most part and I have a really good schedule. The only class I really don't like is my astronomy class. I thing that's just mostly because I'm not really interested and its a 100 level class so I feel like I'm back in high school/community college. The social work classes that I'm taking are good, its different now that I'm learning things I will actually need to know.
My first research paper was due today! It has been a while since I've had to do a paper like that but it wasn't too bad after I got started. Then I have my first big test on Monday so hopefully I can get my self into study mood this weekend so I can do good on that.
The weather has been super here! Its a little windy most days but it feels pretty good. Its 85 and sunny everyday! I did homework on the beach the other day, that was a pretty good first. I think I'm only going to do easy HW there though because its kinda hard to concentrate haha.
Another first: haha this one is kinda funny and mean and sad at the same time. There is this guy that I went out on a date with last Saturday. His name is Andy and he is from china. He is a really nice guy and he drives a 2007 blue convertible mustang. Ha so that date was fine, a little awkward cuz his English isn't really great but not bad.
So then he started texting me like everyday and it was getting weird for me cuz I could tell that he liked me, but I just like him as a friend. Then on night I missed dinner because I only have two meals a day and that day I had breakfast and lunch. I was fine but then he went to a fast food place without me asking or even hinting him too and he got me some chicken and a smoothie. So that's when he became my problem. So Monday he asked me if I would like to go out with him again on Saturday (tomorrow). Ok now I don't want to go out with him because I don't like him and I dont want to lead him on either. So I told him that I already had a date for Saturday, but I really didn't. Then Tuesday his facebook status was "from now on my CAR is my girlfriend!!!!" So now I feel bad but I feel like I did what I had to do. I think he'll get over it though and hopefully we can be friends.
Another First, I was officially dumped last night. I kinda knew it would happen and It is probably for the best because he is in Washington and I am in Hawaii but it is still a bummer. Oh well it was great while it lasted. So I'm a little hurt but being in Hawaii makes everything better!
Well thats all for now! ALOHA
