What a crazy whirlwind Hawaii has been! I've been so busy so I haven't been writing! But at the same time I don't want to share ALL my stories right away cuz then I won't have things to share when I get back! and that's never fun. :) But I will update a little bit because it's fun and it's of course what I do! Seriously..... I've been journaling SO MUCH on this trip! Between blogging, school journal, personal daily journal, and the journal I've been keeping for my Bible readings, I've journaled at least 20 pages. It's ridiculous. But I love that I have the time to do so. It's so rare in my life that i'm really excited that I get this opportunity. Especially since I get to spend time with God. I think that's the biggest thing. I really wanted to grow in my faith, and this is actually turning out to be the best place to do it. And I even listen to a bunch of sermons on the beach or when i'm on the bus! I've finished 2 1/2 already! Go Mark Driscoll, you're my favorite!!
Sorry... that had nothing to do with the trip all that much. I guess I'll sum up and say that I've been hiking, to several beaches, snorkeled, and surfed. It's been pretty crazy. We've also been to Chinatown and a Hawaiian Church for class. And on Wednesday we get to go to the Polynesian Culture Center and that ends with a luao!! I'm really excited! It'll be fun. And then we already have our long weekend and then we have a speaker next week and Obama's inauguration and Pearl Harbor and then Olivia comes and then we're home already! AHH!!! Soo busy! And of course my freaking special ed class stuff. UGAHGAOIERAWOFI!!!!!!!! The class drives me insane! I think I'm becoming a racist by being in the class. Okay.... so I'm dramatic. Just kidding. But seriously, you would go crazy too! Unless.... well.... unless you are wonderful like some people and can put up with stupidity and whiny people who need to just.... ah. okay. I'm done with that. No negativity here!!
What else?? I finally got color THE OTHER DAY! I've been laying out like a mofo and haven't recieved the slightest bit of proof that I've actually been in Hawaii until now. But we were thinking (like our group of girls here) that maybe we are tanning so gradually that we couldn't tell on ourselves. We'll def. be able to tell when we come home! YAY! And hopefully I'll be a tad skinnier (a girl can dream right). I think I could because we are so super active here and the days we aren't active, I go running with my friend Ann. (I realized we had J-term together last semester too! How crazy!) But yes, i'll be a skinny tan girl. mmmm.... I'm likin the sounds of that!
I guess that's it for now! I don't want to share more. I'm keeping my stories to myself. Yah... i'm selfish like that.
Just remember that I miss you all like crazy because apparently I'm bad at having mini "goodbyes". Yikes. I'm growing though. No worries. :) Love you
Amy
