Riiiiiiiight so it is Labor Day and we have that off which is all sorts of fun.
My roomate and suitemates are all moved in finally which is nice. My roomate is named Jayme and she is from Hawaii. The school obviously did not read that little survey thing they have you fill out regarding what time you go to bed and such. Because Jayme goes to bed at about 10:30 PM and wakes up around 7AM. I pretty much wake her up every night when I get in. She is a little strange... when I woke up yesterday she was sitting at her desk making oragami houses for her Star Wars figurines. My suitmates are Scarlett from California who is really nice and chill and fun and she knows some people here who have cars. There is also Lacy from Minneasota who is also awesome and really funny and so much fun to hang out with. Then there's Erin who is on the phone with her boyfriend all day, every day. Literally. Bah whatever. This year is going to be sooooo funny though, because everyone interacts so, well, just funny.
This week was all orientation. Hiking the DiamondHead was really hot, obviously, but the views at the top were so amazing. Thursday was the swimming with the dolphins which was fun. The boat ride to where the dolphins were took sooooo long, all in all two hours longer than it should have. A lot of people also got sea sick, but I did not. I met a few new people on it and swimming was so much fun, plus there was all different water friends there beyond dolphins such as turtles and flying fish and the like. Friday was a big beach party thing and I went kayaking around a little island near the shore which was a lot of fun. We saw a bunch of wild sea turtles. That night the school had some big dance which was pretty lame but it was only a few hours so we just kept walking from our dorms to the dance food tables and we took a ton of soda, cookies, and pizza back to our dorms so we don't have to buy food and such for a while haha. We've actually started doing that a lot of places. We are also saving out bottles and cans so we can get money for them haahah.
Saturday night I went out with Scarlett and this guy upstairs, Josh, who is pretty cool. Scarlett has some friends here and one of them, Paloma, drove us which was cool. We just went to a party some basketball players were having and it was really chill and mellow and it was fun. We spent all of yesterday in the dorms so last night everyone wanted to get out. We all decided to have a big beach party with Scarlett, Lacy, Josh, this kid Morten from Denmark who also lives upstairs, Paloma, and I. There was a bunch of other people who I didn't know very well. I got sooooooooo sloshed, I had a toooooon to drink. The whole night I just kept making little songs and nicknames for people, and we had like 20 group hugs. it was sooooo funny. There's soooo much sand all over my dorm right now because I fell in the sand like 5 times and the tide got pretty high so when we walked I kept getting wet. All of our drivers drank a ton but I guess some kid drove us home, I don't remember him though. It was an all around awesome party.
Today I'm going surfing with Lacy which will probably be interesting haha, I'm actually tan right now and for once NOT sunburned, it's pretty amazing. I sent out a bunch of letters and a birthday card so some of you will be getting some mail. WooP WooP.
bye bye
