Day 21: 3 Day Weekend.

This week has gone by SO FAST!!! Ah. I can’t believe it’s already Sunday. AND. Tomorrow is MLK day so tomorrow there is NO SCHOOL. 3 day weekend!!! So nice. So this past week, there were a ton of clubs to join around campus and I joined the Hawaiian Club. I’m pretty excited to meet some locals and find people who have lived here a while and know the island pretty well. I want to do so much and it’s good to know someone who knows where everything is. There’s a meeting tonight that my friend Shelby and I are going to so that should be fun.

Monday nights I watch The Bachelor with a group of girls and we decided to make it a weekly event. It was such an easy way to make friends haha. A few of us went to Hukilau Café on Thursday morning because my first class was cancelled and we split some coconut and macadamia nut pancakes, along with the Hawaiian French toast. I’ve got to say the macadamia were my favorite. They were so good. I’ve been going to Hukilau Beach this whole week which has been so nice. The crazy thing is that my feet are so much tanner than my legs!! It’s the opposite of what they normally looked like in high school when I played tennis. Normally my legs were tan and my feet were white because I was always wearing shoes. Anyway, I am slowly getting darker, but I just want to be tan now! I have no patience.

Thursday my friend Callie and I went to go get some shave ice and a taco. I needed my fix for the week. Callie ordered some ice cream, which she said didn’t taste so great and it was such a fun time I can’t remember the last time I was laughing that hard. I honestly can’t remember what was so funny; I just know it was hilarious. I love days like those.

Friday my package came in the mail, which contained all the stuff my family accidentally took back home with them. I was so stoked when I got it. That night I hung out with some of my other friends and we watched The Princess and the Frog and went to a dance going on. Saturday was such a long, but fun day. We got up early again to eat breakfast at the Hukilau café again and this time I got the Banana pancakes. They were so good. I seriously think I’ll order them the next time I go back. We then went to Hukilau beach for a little bit and then hopped on the bus to go to Haliewa, which is such a fun, surfer type town. We went shopping where I picked up some bracelets and ate Mochi, which is this Japanese ice cream type dessert, I can’t even explain it, but it was so good. I ordered chocolate peanut butter cup and passion. Passion is probably my favorite. We walked around all the artwork in the streets and saw a band playing which was just fun. I love live music and it was fun watching these people perform. We then went to a Thai Food place, which I thought was pretty good and then headed over to Honolulu. We did some more shopping there at a huge mall where I bought a shirt. There were so many stores I wanted to go into, but we didn’t have time to hit them all up. This mall had such a variety and I would love to go back to it. We got home around 11 that night and I was so tired that I slept so well last night. I ate so much good food yesterday; it was overall a good day.

My classes are going well, not too hard right now and I hope they stay that way. I’m taking a Communication Theory class, a music class, English, and beginning hula, which a BLAST. I’m so glad that I’m taking it.

I have been waking up early and going to bed late, but there seriously is so much I want to do and I wake up naturally early because of the time difference. I hate being inside here. I go to the beach everyday and I can seriously be out there all day. I love it. This week seriously went by so fast and I’m scared that it’s going to be April before I know it. Pretty much, I’m having so much fun and I try to do something new whenever I can. I have a list of things I want to do before April and I hope I’m able to do everything on it!!

listening to: The Cab- Zzzzz.
