This last week was an eventful one.
My friend Tenika and I went on a bus ride to Honolulu, which by the way was the longest bus ride of my life. At least I only had to pay $2.50. But the bus ride took two and a half hours, and of course I decided to go during rush hour traffic, but still. Longest bus ride ever. In fact, it was so long that I almost forgot why I went in the first place. Wal-Mart. I don't even like Wal-Mart that much, but I needed a new bike. The first bike I bought had a faulty chain. And I wanted a bike that would last longer. But, in case you're wondering, I got my new bike. It is orange and silver, and I love it. After Wal-Mart, we had to take the agonizing bus ride back to Laie, and I swear this bus ride back took so much longer, but it was shorter. I really just wanted to ride my new bike.
(The picture was taken from a really weird angle. It's bigger than you'd think. It fits me perfectly:)
One of my favorite things about Hawaii is the people. The people here have such a positive attitude towards life even if they have almost nothing. It's so comforting to know everything will be okay as long as I try to stay positive and happy. I've really been trying to focus on keeping myself happy, regardless of what others may think of me. I advise everyone to live in Hawaii for just a little bit. The scenery is so therapeutic.
Do you know what else I love about Hawaii? The weather. Of course everyone says that, but the weather here is even more bipolar than Utah weather. People from Utah always complain how the weather changes so much in one day. Try living in Hawaii. It will be the sunniest day you've ever seen. Then two minutes later, it's pouring rain. Hard, but warm rain. The rain here feels so much better than rain anywhere else. Here, it rains while it's still sunny outside. It's my favorite feeling ever!
Last Saturday seemed like the perfect beach day. The sun shining, the birds singing. Then when my roommates and I finished getting ready, it started raining. Luckily, we rode the bus to a different beach. We decided to head to Waimea Beach, one of the prettiest beaches I've seen so far. It has a giant rock that people jump off of, it's really fun. Since the weather was a little stormy, the waves were ginormous! I'm not even exaggerating. I had waited at the shoreline while my friends jumped off of Waimea rock, and then suddenly, I got was dominated by the biggest wave I've ever seen. It's really fun when you float in the water and you ride the giant waves as they hit the shoreline.
This week has been a hard one. I miss my dear Maeser friends. I love chatting with them on Facebook. We've had some good times! Oddly enough, I miss wearing my uniform. I really do! I miss my plaid skirt and my student council sweater! I wore those things almost everyday...literally almost everyday. It was really hard shopping before I came to Hawaii because I had to relearn how to compose a decent looking outfit. More than missing my uniform, I miss my teachers.
I miss whining to Mrs. Frampton about my life every five minutes. (I also miss quilting..good times)
I miss Cam's ADD.
I miss Gerber's "organized chaos". (But really. More organized than you would think)
I miss Mr. Christensen's love of life. (I hope you all understand what I mean! haha)
I miss watching Mr. Dowdle give uniform violations as freely as we give Halloween candy.
I miss Mrs. MacDuff and all of our "your mom" jokes. (I miss your mom's "your mom" jokes)
My teachers were really the highlight of my high school experience.
I also miss Seussical.
I miss the crappy soccer field.
I miss commons.
I miss seeing my friends every class period.
I miss driving Whitley everywhere.
There are so many weird things about high school that I miss.
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end.
I am loving my life the way it is, and I miss you all on the mainland. And I do not feel sorry for your freezing butts. You should have moved to Hawaii long ago.
Farewell, my good friends and family.
And in case I miss you:
Good morning, good afternoon and goodnight.
