Okay! So my super awesome roommate mary started a blog for Hawaii, and all my friends want updates so I thought it'd be a good idea to start one. Then I can kind of keep everyone updated all at once! So i'll try to keep this updated while I'm here. When I got off that plane and into Hawaii I almost died from the heat wave. It was unreal. And the humidity here is insaneeeeeeeeeee. Like. It's almost pointless to do your makeup cause it melts right off your face haha and when you walk outside your hair instantly goes... POOF. but oh well! hopefully my body adapts to it haha. Oh also.. speaking of heat.... walk into our hale (dorm) room...... INSANE. No air conditioning so the heat just collects in here and its crazy.. so we bought little fans haha they help a little. Still so hott though. We made a couple trips to walmart which is about 50 minutes away from Laie. Got everything we need to just settle in here. It's gorgeous here though. Like. The ocean- so gorgeous. Looks just like a postcard. There's some amazing amazing beaches along the north shore- it's insane. Like the one at turtle bay was so nice, and sunset beach... oh my goodness! I just couldn't believe how beautiful they were. I'm looking forward to having a beach day! And then the mountains are absolutely unreal here. So lush and then the clouds come in right over top of the mountains... like so close.. it looks like the clouds are sitting on the mountains and the mountain tops are poking through. It just looks misty and pretty. Also- me and mary lucked out with our dorms. They're having such a problem with housing here its insane, so me and mary got a big room. They squished some people into a single room so they have like 1/2 the furniture and stuff and there's 2 people living in there. just crazy. I love our dorm though! Also i'm on the meal plan and i find the caf food to be pretty decent. And the Laie Hawaii temple is very pretty, i'd say its about 2-3 blocks away from campus. And I can walk to the beach from campus, it's probably like 10 minutes. I want to buy a bike so badly to get around this place. It'd be so nice. So we'll see how that goes. But there's my update so far!!! Nothing huge has happened because we have just been unpacking, shopping, and getting settled in. I had my first sunday here today too.... me and mary are in the 18th ward. It was alright. We just didn't know where to go or anything haha so hopefully that gets better. But there were people from all over... like.... austrailia, japan, south korea, ghana, samoa, sweden, maui, the U.S, Canada, like.... just people from everywhere. It's crazy. It's super cool though! I love all the different cultures. Oh and also on saturday night when we were driving back from the city to Laie... like all along the coast the whole way back the polynesian people were just having big picnics, get togethers, parties.... and like so many people were fishing!! they were all just out by the ocean. Some were swimming. It just seemed so care free and fun. Haha it was neat to see. But. There you have it. Another busy day ahead of me tomorrow.. early morning too. I've been getting up early every morning since i've been here though. It gets so bright and sunny out so early haha. But it's good for me. Anyway. Hope this didn't bore you too much. Until next time! :)
