Day 42: 21 baby!

I’ve got to say, I miss food. Good food. Lately I’ve been craving pizza. So Monday, after class, I went and got a pizza. While I was there, my malasada truck had returned. So while I ordered my pizza, I went and got my malasadas. It was excellent. They are these Portuguese donuts, which seriously taste so good. I then went to the beach because it was a perfect beach day. That night was a basketball game. Me and my friend were totally making fun of this guy on the other team because he had ringlets and was wearing a freaking headband. He looked like a girl. We called Wendy and cheered for him by saying “Go Wendy!!” It was great. The rest of the week has been pretty cloudy. Not too happy about it, I’ve gotta say. Wednesday was another basketball game. If our team scores over 100 points, the whole crowd gets free ice cream. That night was the first time we scored over 100 points since I’ve been here. It was so fun when it was getting close because the whole crowd was shouting “Ice cream! Ice cream!” It was crazy when we finally got that shot. After that, I went over to my friend's house to watch The Bachelor online because we missed it Monday night. Thursday I finally got my Hula Skirt for Hula, and I had a Hula test. I got a 9/10 on dancing. I was so happy. Friday night me and my friend went into town to buy fabric for our Hula Costumes. We then went to get Sushi and Frozen Yogurt. It was such a good day. Later that night our school was showing New Moon, so I went and saw it with some friends. We just made fun of it the whole time. There was a dance after and I made a lot more friends there.

Yesterday I turned 21. It was the best day ever. I had so much fun. My family had sent me a package, which contained clothes, lotion, and food. I also got some money from my grandparents. When I go home, we will celebrate my birthday then too. Can’t wait. I had breakfast at the Hukilau Cafe and I had the banana pancakes, which are to die for. A lot of my friends came and brought me a balloon and cheesecake. After breakfast, we went to Sharks Cove and just laid out and went out in the ocean. The weather was PERFECT. For lunch we went and got an acai bowl... it is so good! It has granola, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, honey, pineapple, and the acai berry blended in. It's super healthy, and really good. Normally they add mango as well, but they ran out. After that, we laid out some more. Seriously. Best day ever. We went into the next town Haliewa and got some shave ice. The shave ice here is AMAZING. I have always loved it, but I really love it here in Hawaii. We then went out to dinner at this Mexican restaurant because I have been craving Mexican food. It’s called Just Tacos. We then came home after that. When I came home, I saw that one of my friends had decorated my door, which was so nice. Overall, it was a great day. I loved it.

I’ve officially decided that I’m staying until June. I need to find housing and figure out what classes I’m going to be taking this week. I’m excited that I’m staying!! Also, the name of this blog no longer is relevant. Just saying. I’m super excited for this weekend. It seems that the weeks are getting more and more fun as I get farther into it. Anyway, that was my week. I’m officially 21 now!!
