Tuesday was December 7 which is Pearl Harbor day. My friend and I thought it would be absolutely AWESOME if we actually went to town and be at Pearl Harbor on Pearl Harbor day. So I skipped my history class and let me tell you, it was incredible. Pearl Harbor was full of cute veterans and their families. We listened to one guy's story, and just being there gave me such a respect for what happened that day. We also went around the museums and took a boat ride to the USS Arizona. When we arrived, there was a list of names and flowers that we could throw into the water in tribute for that veteran. It was an amazing experience. We also took pictures with guys in the navy which was so rad.
Thursday I had a field trip for History to go out to the Taro fields and weed. I must say, I was dreading this field trip. Especially since I woke up to rain. When we got there, it was super muddy and they wanted us to go stomp around in a muddy river. I was hesitant to go in, but when I did, it was probably one of the best experiences I've ever had on a school field trip in college. I was with a ton of my friends and everyone was having a good time. It really taught me about how much work goes into farming and when I came home, I was COVERED in mud. I was in the shower for 20 minutes just scrubbing at my skin. The mud wouldn't come off! The weather just continued to get worse as the day went on. It was literally POURING. Seriously. It was a downpour. There was a declared flood warning and the thunder and lightning was ridiculous. The lightening filled up the whole sky and the thunder was ear shattering. The streets were collecting water and the little circle in front of our school was like a lake. It has continued to rain off and on this whole week. It's actually raining right now. But nothing compared to Thursday night. That was just madness.
Saturday I went to the beach to get my tan back from scrubbing it off with the mud. It's so weird because I have never been able to lay out in a swimsuit this time of year before. I can definitely get used to it tho.
Also, if anyone has seen the movie North Shore, I saw John Philbin aka Turtle at Pipeline and I smiled at him and he smiled back. It was sweeeeeet.
This week is going to be full of finals and beeeeeeach. I get done on Wednesday:) My family gets here on Sunday. can't wait for a break. seriously. but it's been a great semester.
