Hawaii Tomorrow!!
So I leave at the ass crack of dawn tomorrow for Hawaii. (literally, the ass crack of dawn...flight LEAVES at 630am. So we'll prob leave my house at 4. I'm pretty pumped! I'm super anxious about the flight though...just gotta get through that. It's a total of 12 hours...4 to Phoenix, and then 8 from Phoenix to Maui. The 8 hour one will be my longest flight ever. CA is a 6 hour flight and I've done that several times...and I know 8 is only 2 more than 6, but I seriously want my dad to get me a valium so I make it.
We have cool stuff planned. We're doing snorkeling, going to a luau, and doing this bike thing where a bus picks you up at 3 am, and drives you to the top of a volcano in volcano nat'l park. And then you bike down the volcano at sunrise. We're also flying from Maui to Hawaii one day to do to Pearl Harbor. That was my call. I didn't want to all the effing way to Hawaii and not see Pearl Harbor. It's a 50 min plane ride. It's so crazy to me how far away the islands are from each other...thats 30 min less than how long it takes me to fly to Boston, which is 550 miles away. Crazy!
I'm also nervous, I applied to several jobs recently, and I'm afraid that while I'm gone for over a week, they'll all email me and I won't have access to internet. THIS is why I wish I had an iPhone or Blackberry, for reasons such as this. Not that they'll write to me, because they probably won't. But still...if they did, that'd suck because I wouldn't get it until the 12th.
And finally, at work today, one of the 16 year old girls I worked with told me she wished she had my life. This made me feel weird. Like...WHY would she want my life?! I'm a 23 year old college grad who can't get a job ever, is almost 1.5 yrs out of school and has yet to have even 1 small job. I work in a job that high schoolers do and hate everyday of it. I had to give up living in LA to move back home because of said reason and money. Why would she want it? I'm miserable. She said it was because "I've lived in so many cool places" and I've seen the entire country, and I had the freedom to just drive across the country 4 times. And this made me think...yeah I guess when you're 16, it sucks to be stuck in one place. Dunno, it made me feel weird. I feel like this girl idolizes me...she's always asking me questions about my life. And I'm embarassed to talk about it, but she's always so interested.
