Aloha,
Good news everyone! I've made it safely to the Honolulu international airport and am waiting for my connecting flight to Maui. I had no clue that Hawaii was so far away (it took us five hours over the Pacific from LA to get here). Who knew? Anyways, the weather is great here. I'm actually appreciatory of the fact that it was freezing the past few weeks in Malibu because now I can enjoy the change in temperature. I haven't really seen much of anything yet, save a palm tree here and there. Though, I must say, I really enjoyed the aerial view of the islands. My body is starving to be saturated in that warm salt water.
I am so glad spring break is here. This semester has been hell so far. On top of working 30 hours a week and taking 17 units (most of which are major courses), I had a surgery and stuff that I had to take time to recover from. I'm pretty proud of myself to tell you the truth. It was such an ordeal to get everything done, but I knew that the moment it was all done and I tried my hardest that it would be very rewarding. I can just kick back now and relax in the tropical waters of Hawaii and enjoy this time off. I smell the best spring break ever creeping up on me.
Ha ha, Vicki and I joked last night about how I wouldn't wake up in time. She knows me too well. Apparently she called me at 4:30 and had a whole conversation with me and she heard my alarm clock go off and everything. I was unaware of this conversation until she called me back at 5:30 to tell me she and her family were at Pepperdine to pick me up. "SHIT!" She knew exactly what that meant. So, against my will, I have entered Hawaii without showering or shaving (the latter, for 3 days).
I'm really enjoying the Japanese culture here. Though, all I can really pick up on is "arigatoo gozaimasu".
Ok, I'm bored with updating. I'm gonna go smoke or something.
Happy Spring Break to one and all. I hope you all have a great & safe time.
Aloha! Saiyoonara!
