Hiking

Aloha!


This weekend has been exhausting. On Saturday morning I cycled over to the bottom of Lē'ahi (Diamond Head) for another Geology field trip. In reality I was only there to hopefully see GG101L Guy again, but unfortunately he wasn't there. Our task for this field trip was to map the coastline in terms of the different rock types present. It was basically another exercise in colouring-in (as if I don't get enough of that in my Filipino class - but I'm not complaining). Note to potential exchange students: bring at least five different coloured crayons from home, you never know when you'll need them.

The morning after the night before

Alowghvsdssa...


Put simply, I got smashed off my face last night. Not my proudest moment (and I won't go into details about it), but I did learn a valuable lesson from this experience, and that is to pay attention to emails as I receive them...


I'm adding this to my wall.

A negative blanketed by positives

...is still a negative.

Aloha!


Unfortunately I didn't get this job that I really wanted and am perfectly suited for. Here's how it went down:

Along the Ala Wai

Aloha!


First things first - my computer is on its death bed. For the past week or two it has been making very loud noises (on top of the loud, vacuum cleaner-like noises it already makes) and has been running exceptionally sluggishly. My roommate has noticed the sound, too - he equates it to something of a heart attack; like my computer is telling me it can't take any more and wants it to end. I have on several occasions considered throwing it off my lanai or even dumping it into the canal. The latter was inspired by some of the crazy stuff I've seen in and around the Ala Wai canal.

I need coffee

...or just anything to keep me awake during class.


Aloha!


My uni friends back home would know that I tend to fall asleep a lot during lectures. I know I'm not the only person in the world who does so, but I wanted my time in Hawai`i to be well-spent and because I do tend to enjoy sleeping in general (my Kaua`i car buddies can attest to this), I would much prefer to use the times allocated to lectures actually learning something.

I don't know where to begin...

So I'll start with this: I'm okay - I made it home in one piece, and I'm sitting in my room with the air-con on full-blast as I type this.
