so the first week of school was...all sorts of things.
rough, exciting, overwhelming, dramatic
let's bullet point this shall we?
- i'm not at MCC anymore. it's also been a loooong time since i've been to school. i feel stupid ALL THE TIME! i know it's only been one week and i'll get back in the game soon enough but man, can't that just automatically happen??
- making new friends is super awkward and weird.
- it only seems to rain when i'm walking/bike riding to and from school. FYI sitting in class while completely drenched is very unpleasant.
found this little gem on amazon and while i believe it would keep me nice and dry (and incredibly popular) i didn't buy it.
- my feet are so sad here. i have blisters on my heels, sides of my feet, in between my toes.
i can hardly walk, guys. it's a problem.
- i'm at school all day until about 2 PM and i haven't quite figured out how to eat lunch yet so i'm starvingggg every day!
i should probably go to the grocery store and buy some more snackies but i'm also afraid of the grocery store and its prices.
i was explaining to my sister that we tried buying a broom this week and found out it cost $12 for the broom and another $12 for the dustpan. we agreed that any broom that costs $24 should do all the work for you! agreed??
anyway, i'm hungry.
- please don't hate me for saying this but...i haven't become used to hearing the waves during the night. i'm not a very good sleeper and when you add stormy, super loud waves to the situation it just makes things worse.
i'm so sleepy!
- i really miss my puppy
now on to the good things!
bulletpoints!
- the view from across the street is unbelievable!
- we finally set foot on the beach!
- i'm getting way better at riding my bike!
i named my little bike Lorelai because every time i ride it i feel like Lorelai Gilmore the day her Jeep died and she had to ride her bike everywhere.
the similarities are uncanny.
- we went to Giovanni's Shrimp Truck and had some of the best shrimp i have ever EVER had!
it was totally worth the 3 mile bike ride there and 3 miles back!
i can't wait to go again!
so to sum things up, Hawaii is a huge adjustment for me.
i went from sitting at home all day every day for the past 3 years to having to do all these crazy new scary things!
but all in all, i'm super happy here! i'm super happy to study something that i love in a place that i love!
and i can't wait to do more crazy new scary things every day!
