Fillip.

I've been counting down the days until I go home, and it's down to 11... I don't know if I want to go! I really like it here, and have loved meeting new people and making new friends. It's so much fun having people come out to visit me, and just getting to be a goofy kid. I do miss Eugene, but I know I'm going to miss it here so much! I'm liking classes, biking, the beach, the swap meet, the people, oh boy... I don't know what I'm going to do when I have to leave. Here's a group of us waiting at the bus stop to head home from the Swap Meet.

I had my last day of work yesterday and I was actually really sad. I mean, who would've thought I'd be sad about not having to wash dishes for hours upon hours a night? Tui brought pizza for my last day! That was nice, I haven't had pizza for like 2 months, it was great!

My friend Cait came to visit with her family and they were so nice! It was fun getting to the other side of someone's life that I met in college. It was kind of wierd seeing her like 4,000 miles away from where I met her, but it was nice to see a familiar face. We went to Matsumoto's shave ice down in Haleiwa, and I took them to a secret beach spot where we saw turtles!

I'm so excited to go home, but I'm just not too excited about leaving here. I wish I could just have both as once, that would be the life. But oh well, you can't have it all. However, I have to say, having to choose between Hawaii and Home... neither is really that bad of a choice :)

Whoop.

I don't know what it is but, lately, I have been very into sepia. Hmm, maybe it's an idea for a new photo shoot?

Not much has happened since camping. I met a girl who seems like she fell straight out of Eugene, but she's from Utah! It's one of the wierder things I've come across. She's super nice and really motivated. Maybe she will help me in that department. We've decided that we're going to make a business making and selling lava lava pants. Woo! I'll try and remember you when I'm rich and have 20 houses all over the world.

My friend Cait, from Utah State, is here with her family and I get to see her on Wednesday! I'm SO EXCITED! She's coming up to the north shore for the day and I'm going up to visit them in Haleiwa. I can't wait to see her!

It's official, I'm going back to Eugene for summer. I'm hoping to move into my own apartment, so if you hear of anything cheap then please pass it on! I'd very much appreciate.

Mmm, I have my bio midterm this friday, and pretty much I'm only writing right now because I am procrastinating - I should probably start studying now. Ugh... Have I mentioned that I hate bio?

Corrigible

I still hate biology. We took our first test last friday and over 3/4 of the class failed (yep, me included). The teacher said we did so bad that he had to revise it so that our scores would be better. There were 50 questions, and an essay we had to write. 38 of the questions got thrown out... I think it shows you something more about the teaching style than the learning, wouldn't you think? There are study groups next week and whatnot so we'll see if those help. We have our midterm this coming up friday, I hope I amaze myself.

I experienced camping on the beach last night and it was one of the best things I've ever done. It was absolutely amazing sitting and being able to listen to the ocean all night long. It was a full moon and so it was light even at 2:00 in the morning, and especially lighter with all of the sand reflecting the light. We got there about 10:30, built a campfire, roasted cinnamon rolls (they are actually pretty good toasted!), talked about life, and fell asleep in blankets next to the ocean in the sand. I don't think my night could've gone any better.
