I did it! :)

Well, almost...

Now what exactly is it that I am talking about? I'll tell you. 

I AM ALMOST DONE WITH MY FIRST SEMESTER OF COLLEGE!!!

This is definitely a cause for celebration. Here is a little peak into the thing I call my life.

Don't be afraid. 

Go on... Look closer.

Yes. I am aware of my inability to spell. Haha. Mele Kalikimaka has since been fixed.

 It won't bite. After all, it's just my life for the next two weeks.

I have 3 assignments not written. 

Biology Case Study due 12.6.11

Hula Paper due 12.8.11

Hawaiian Studies paper due 12.9.11

Whew! I think that is it. :)

Now onto the past few weeks. First off I would like to say how thankful I am for my roommate. Kayla is SO awesome, and all the little messages she leaves me make my day.

Isn't she the best? :) 

I am so lucky! :)

I love it! I am SO lucky and blessed to have her as my roommate! I also am so grateful for my friends Diana, and Nicole. :) I love hanging out with them, and just having a good time. I also love spending time at the Polynesian Culture Center with my friend Kerriann. :) We are PCC buddies, which leads me in to my next story.

For our Hula class we have to write a paper (see calendar above). For this paper we have to go to the Polynesian Culture Center to the Hawaiian Village. We have to write about the main presentation, as well as one of the activities in the village. We also have to write about the Night Show. Well, Kerriann and I had planned on going to the PCC on Tuesday, and then things got in the way so instead we decided to go Wednesday. We got out of class and then went to lunch. Then she had to finish up some homework real fast while I cleaned my room for our White Glove Check, which Kayla and I passed. :) Then we hopped on our bikes and rode over. 

As we were walking to the main entrance there were some cute little Asian tourists. They stopped us and asked us if we wanted their tickets. They were leaving and had no use for them anymore. They included the village, dinner, and the night show. Kerriann and I looked at each other and then at them and asked if they were sure that they didn't want them, and they said, "Here, have them, " and then they gave us their tickets. Well, Kerriann and I went to the villages and watched the presentations and the activities. Then it was time for dinner. The tickets said the Ambassador Dinner (where my roommate happens to work as a setter). We saw a sign that said the line starts here, so away we went. Well the workers saw our tickets and then informed us that we had "paid too much" for that dinner, and directed us to the correct place. 

Once we were there we were treated like royalty. We felt like the girls in "The Little Princess." It was amazing and we couldn't stop smiling. 

Passion Orange Guava Juice is like heaven in a cup!

We got quite adventurous and tried lots of new things, like crab legs.

 Dinner was amazing, and we felt so blessed and grateful for those sweet people who gave us their tickets. :) After dinner we headed to the night show. Where we sat in the 3rd row!!!

We couldn't take pictures during the night show, so I snapped a quick one before it started.

 And to top it all off, the package that the sweet people had purchased included the desert delite sherbet yumminess at intermission! :) WOW! What. A. Night! It was AMAZING!!!

I had such a great time! Now to get back to homework... Or maybe go to sleep. We'll see.
