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

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 :)
