I'm in Hawaii & I am in love. I don't think I want to go back home after I graduate lol. I do miss everyone back home, but not as much as I thought I was going to. Is that mean? Haha
I'm enjoying every moment here with Aunt Ola. She's amazing & I wish we were closer to her when we were growing up. I don't think I've ever met such a sweet soul. She's fierce yet loving & caring. Ahh, you just got to meet her! On our drive back from the airport she fascinated me with stories of her mission & her experience as a school teacher in Samoa. I admire the passion she has about the church and especially missionary work. She's the cutest thing ever. If I wanted to I could dedicate this whole post to her because that's just how fascinating is.
These past couple of days have been nice. As soon as we got home from the airport Aunty Ola & I knocked out on the couches haha she woke me up to go freshen up because we were expecting guests for dinner. Dinner was okay, lol. I didn't eat much because I wasn't really hungry for what was being served, but I'm sure it tasted good. After dinner, we got ready for song practice. I am officially a member of the Samoan Choir that will be performing for PCC's 50th Anniversary. I'm really excited that I get to participate in some of the events.
On Monday we went into town (Honolulu) so that we could get some fabric for Siulia. She's going to Samoa for a wedding so she's purchasing some of the wedding supplies here because it's expensive back home. We came home & cousin Afton came over. Omg she's hilarious. She helped me with some of my school stuff which was really nice of her. I got to apply for PCC's Night Show...I hope I get it & I'm scared of auditioning. I'm scared that I'm gonna suck.
I usually feel weird meeting new family members since I'm older, but hanging out with her was easy & she likes to pick on me, freaking bully. I got to meet her father Uncle Silila. That was an emotional experience because I didn't know that he helped raise my dad. So when he saw me he started crying, then I started crying. I really want my dad to come visit him. I can only imagine they'll be cry babies together. Lol! Later, we came back home & we picked Aunty Ola up so we could go to look at my house that I'll be staying in for this semester. It's literally down the street from Aunty haha. She was really worried about me traveling far & what not. So maybe after this semester we'll see where I end up!
Today was kinda weird. I think the time difference is hitting me, but I woke up early & I knocked out after we had brunch lol. Maybe it was food coma, or maybe I was just tired from waking up early? We didn't do much today...well I didn't do much because Aunty Ola was busy sewing for everyone! I went running/walking/dying today along the trail from Kahuku to Laie. It was awesome & it kicked my butt...really bad. I'm embarrassed even thinking about how much I sucked. Ah well it's been awhile so I gotta get my body back in tip-top shape. I got to Uncle Silila's house & I drowned my lungs with water haha. Seriously. I was so thirsty. Afton and I worked out to Insanity which was another kick in my booty cus it's been forever & I could totally feel how heavy my actually is smh. Shame! After our work out we went walking on the beach. The water is warm! It's so beautiful!
Tomorrow I have lots to do...I should make my to-do list...but I'm not because I'm gonna be too tired from writing this "/ I feel like I'm in a dream. I live in Hawai'i.
