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 :)
