I slept TERRIBLE last night. Despite how tired I was and the fact that I got to sleep around 2:00am, I still ended up waking up around 7:00! What is up with that?!
I tried sleeping some more, but it wasn't happening.
This morning at 6:30, there was a group hike going on with my tower and I reeeeallly wanted to go, but I know that if I had tried it wouldn't have resulted well. The combination of my exhaustion with my sore limbs would have probably ended up in me giving up and plus, this is a really difficult hike, so I didn't even set my alarm to wake up. I'll try another time!
I think I dozed off a few times which was good but around 8:30 I got out of bed.
This week has been so draining that I decided that I was going to do absolutely NOTHING today. Like less than usual. I didn't even change into real clothes...
I watched two episodes of Revolution which I'm not sure if I like anymore. It seems weird and it is unnecessarily violent, in my opinion. So we will see if I continue with that show.
I then worked on my online homework for my lab class, and did some peer reviewing for my other lab.
I also worked on some paper work that I needed to complete which is giving me troubles and stressing me out, and I also talked to my parents.
Then I was feeling really tired, so around 3:00, I layed down to take a nap, and ended up sleeping until 7:45! It felt good to sleep and I felt rested after that.
I did get woken up once due to a crazy thunderstorm outside! It was thundering and lightning and absolutely POURING, which was odd because usually here we just get light/moderate rain showers. Not thunderstorms. Except for the occasional loud thunder claps, it was kind of peaceful and the rain helped me sleep.
So once I got up, I sat out on the lanai for a little bit to get some fresh air. Then I worked on some more homework like a Chemistry lab worksheet and reviewing for a quiz later this week.
And that's it.
It was good to have a day to just rest and not really do anything :)
OH! The halftime show was posted today, so here is the link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGDQYHazTM4
The songs we played, were:
Back to the Future theme
The Flinstones
The Jetsons
Feel this Moment
Rockit
Skit - Star Wars themes/Star Trek Theme/Superman
Time Warp
It was really fun, and although I had my doubts prior to the show, after listening to it, I don't think it sounded that bad!
It was cool to dress up and not wear our uniforms for one halftime performance and I did have a lot of fun :)
I still haven't gotten the pictures sent to me, but they'll be up for sure when I do get them. Hopefully tomorrow, fingers crossed.
And now, even though I took quite a long nap, I'm headed off to sleep because if this week is anything like last, I need to back up on some sleep now!
So I'll talk to you tomorrow,
Goodnight <3

ʻĀkala Lauoho ~ Pink Hair
I can barely keep my eyes open right now, so I am not going to go into much detail, but I'll talk more about the day in depth, tomorrow.
I got up and left for the game at 12:20, with my uniform, and costume all ready to go!
We left for the stadium at 1:00, and once we got there we practiced for about 2 and a half hours. I have not sweated this much since I've gotten to Hawaii, as I did today.
It was SOO hot out today, and we were all dying out there!
We then had to go do warrior walk, where we lead the football players in and played the fight song.
Pot-luck time! Finally, we got to eat!
I ventured out of my comfort zone quite a bit. I had orange chicken, meatballs/gravy, rice and a tamale, and all of it was really good! :)
During the pregame show, a ton of alumni came on the field with us and played along with us, which was really cool. There was even a graduate from the 50's!! I was worried about him being out in the heat...he was fine though.
Then we went into the stands and played for the first quarter and half of the second.
And then it was time to get into our costumes!! We got all dressed, and most of the people looked really good, but there were a lot that I couldn't figure out..oh well :)
I forgot to get a picture on my phone of the 4 of us dressed up, so I have to get them to send me the pictures, and once I get those, I'll post them up.
But here are a few with us, and the section...
So the halftime performance ended up being a lot of fun! I really enjoyed myself out there, and I think overall, it turned out great :) The video is not up yet, but I'll be sure to post it when it is, which should be by tomorrow!!
In the third and fourth quarters, I completely crashed. I literally felt like I was going to fall asleep standing up, in the stands.
I just couldn't wait for the game to be over!
Unfortunately, we lost...again! The final score was 35-28, so it wasn't too bad of a loss, but it was still a loss.
We all had tons of fun though, so that is all that matters. :)
I got back to my room around 11:40, and reeeeally wanted to just sleep, but I had to shower. For my costume, I sprayed my entire head of hair, bright pink, so I had to get that out, which took two washes!
And now, I'm here typing this post, at 1:04am :(
I'll post more pictures and videos, once they go up!
Talk to you all tomorrow!
Goodnight <3

Hoʻāuhuli ʻana ~ Revolution
Today was yet another long an exhausting day, but at least it is behind me!
I had to wake up earlier than normal, because I had an advising appointment at 8:00 this morning. We mainly talked about the courses I need to take next semester to stay on track for my major, and to graduate on time.
From 8:30-9:20 was my bio lecture, where we talked about DNA and nucleotides.
I then worked from 9:30-12:00 and I did a bunch of things! I copied papers, hole punched papers, filed papers, input data into a spreadsheet, and also had a job that took 2 hours. It involved hole punching files and inserting a double-pronged fastener to them, then putting labels onto those files, and then transferring all of the papers from the temporary files, to the ones that I was making, which are the permanent files. This literally took 2 hours, and I was getting antsy by the end of it.
At 12:00, I hadn't eaten, so I walked to Jamba Juice and got a smoothie and a toasted bistro sandwich, which I ate in my 12:30-1:20 lecture, Oceanography.
Today's lecture was all about waves and navigation.
From 1:30-2:30, I worked another hour, but it was much slower paced and I just looked over some data to make sure it was correct in the database.
I then had to go back to my dorm to change for practice, and decided to call and talk to my mom. She was at my high school's football game, with my dad and brother, to see how the band is this year, and she happened to be saying hi to a group of my friends. I got to talk to them all for a minute or two, which was nice, although I apologize for the way I sounded, I'm absolutely drained mentally and physically and it probably reflects in my voice and makes me sound uninterested or bored. I really miss them and everyone back home though :(
I was sooo tempted to crawl into bed and just sleep, but I knew that if I tried to nap, I would not have the willpower to actually get back out of bed and go to practice, especially since it was in half an hour. So I got all of my things ready for practice, listened to upbeat music, and then left for practice at 3:25.
We were facing the sun again, but it wasn't as bad because there were occasional clouds blocking it.
At practice, we just ran the show and the different parts about 5 times, and that was it.
I'm not sure if this show is going to be an awesome one. It sounds pretty good, but being on the field, it just seems very unorganized and kind of patchy. For some reason things don't feel like they fit together well. I guess we will find out tomorrow!
I am excited for the game tomorrow, because I mean, it is our homecoming game! I'm just a tad worried that we will lose the game.....
It will be fun though! I'm excited to see all of the costumes we show up in! :)
After practice, I got dinner and then came back to my room. I had to paint my crown for my costume, and I also put the whole thing on, and I think it looks good! Hopefully people will know what I am....(:
I also started watching the show Revolution, which is good so far! (I've only watched the pilot though, so.....we'll see how the rest of it is!)
And that's it!
I am actually about to fall asleep as I am typing this, and I need to get as much sleep as possible tonight since tomorrow will be another long and draining day! That seems to be the trend lately...
So I'll talk to you all tomorrow night!
Goodnight <3

Hana noʻeau Hoʻolauleʻa ~ Art Festival
Oh my goodness.
I'm exhausted!
I feel as though throughout the days, now that I've started worked, I am just going, going, going all day long, without a break. I'm worn out!
Anyway, I woke up a little late this morning, and ended up being about 10 minutes late to work, but it was no problem since I'm only a student worker. Plus, I made up that time later in the day.
So today at work, I made more student files, alphabetized a giant stack of papers, made 85 copies each of about 10 different flyers to go into info packets, and made copies of applications. Like I've said before, though, it passes time very quickly, and gives me something to do.
I then had my Chemistry exam at 12:00, and I felt like it went pretty well! There were three that I was completely stumped on at the end, so I had to make a guess on those.
Well, once Amber got home, she said that the grades had ALREADY been posted, which shocked me since in the past it has taken him over a week. So I went and looked, and I got another C. That is the third C that I've gotten on my Chemistry exams, and I don't know what is happening. A large part is that there are only 30 questions, so I got 21/30, but since each one is weighted so heavily, the grade drops fast when you get questions wrong.
There are two more exams, one normal, and one final exam. I am determined to ace these exams. Getting yet another C has amped me up to study until I can't study any more when exam time comes, and I am going to finish this semester off strong and hopefully be about to pull out a B average in the class!
After Chemistry, I went back to my dorm for about an hour, until I had to go to Hawaiian Studies. Today we just had a class discussion on the film we watched Tuesday, and then we were done for the day. She let us out about 30 minutes early. I was supposed to work from 4:30-6:00, and it was 3:45 when we got out of class. Instead of walking to my dorm to do nothing for 20 minutes before heading to work, I headed straight to work, and got there at 4:00. So I made up for being late this morning, and 20 minutes more! I just finished up my projects from earlier during those two hours.
Today was the annual Ka Leo Arts Festival, and it was going on from 3pm-8pm, so after I got off of work and was walking back to my dorm, I walked through all of the booths and looked over everything. It was really cool! There were about 70 booths with local artists, students, outer islanders, community members, etc. There were also some performances and live art going on. I enjoyed walking through, but didn't really stop at any of the booths.
I finally got home around 6:30, and I ate and worked on some online homework which literally took 2 hours because there were 35 sections that I had to do. Ew.
And that's it!
Thank you to whoever is reading these...if anyone is.
I'll talk to you tomorrow night!
See ya! <3

ʻŌhelo Papa ~ Strawberry
Today's post is going to be relatively short and to the point, because it was a rather uneventful day.
I woke up and got ready for my 8:30 Bio lecture, where we are still discussing genes.
Next was my Bio lab. Now today, we worked individually and did our own experiment, but we still sat at the normal tables. So my three partners excluded me from everything yet again, and never once offered to help me with anything. The three of the just worked together and got everything for one another, but none for me. All
I can say is I am glad we only have a few weeks left of this lab, so I won't have to worry about it again.
It was interesting today though, because we got to extract DNA from strawberries! I really enjoyed doing that, even though I was annoyed.
After my lab, I had my Oceanography lecture where we discussed El Niño and it's affects not only here in Hawaii, but also around the world.
I then worked for only an hour today, from 1:30-2:30 and I had to sort a whole box of papers into chronological order, and began putting labels onto the student files I put together earlier in the week. That hour passed very quickly, and then I went back to my room, changed and had a snack and then headed off to practice. We cleaned a bunch of things concerning drill and then just ran the homecoming show and skit a ton of times.
It was tiring. And we had to face the synthesis entire time, for some reason. We typically face away from the sun, but today we were facing it straight on. And the sun was already setting so it was in our direct eye path too, and I pretty much couldn't see a thing.
I was then done for the night. I came to my room, took a nap for about an hour and a half, got some dinner, and then began studying. I have a Chemistry midterm tomorrow morning, and these chapters are pretty confusing. I feel as prepared as possible though, so we'll see!
I'm getting to sleep a little early tonight because I have two and a half hours of work before my exam tomorrow, and need to be sure I'm awake and alert tomorrow.
I cannot wait to just sleep forever this weekend because I'm absolutely exhausted!
I hope you all are well, talk to you tomorrow!
Goodnight <3

Helu Waiwai ~ Inventory
Today was another long and tiring day.
I woke up at 7:00, go ready for the day and left to head off to my Chemistry Lab with Amber at 8:30.
The lab went pretty smoothly today, it took about an hour and a half, so we got done an hour and a half early. We had an hour before our Chemistry Lecture, so Amber and I went Campus Center and had some lunch.
The lecture was boring and awful as usual, we just went over the practice exam, and the professor barely even knew what he was talking about, and kept making errors, and then blaming us for not catching his mistakes.
After the lecture, I stopped at the little outgoing mail post thingy's, and mailed off the two postcards to my family :)
Next was my Hawaiian Studies class. We watched a film about the bomb testing on the Marshall Islands and how that correlated to the topic we are learning about currently. And there was a scientist in the film who looked exactly like a younger version of my dad, without the glasses. It was really weird! I enjoyed the film though.
From 4:30-6:00, I worked. There wasn't a lot for me to do since it was the end of the day, but I did get to take inventory of all of the CPR equipment, which was really awesome. It was cool to see all of the instruments and things that are used, but scary to think about if I ever had to use the stuff...
So like I said, I got off at 6:00, which is when the office closes, got back to my dorm at 6:20, and then I rested for about an hour and 45 minutes before getting up to do homework and study. From 8:00-11:00, I was working on my Biology Lab write up, which had to be a complete one with all of the part involved, unlike before where it was either just the intro or just the discussion. That took forever, and I am absolutely drained. It's time for sleep.
I'll talk to you again tomorrow, which is another packed day.
Goodniiiight! <3

ʻAʻahu ~ Costume
Wow, today was one jam-packed day!
I was gone from 8:00am until 10:00pm.
I woke up at 6:30, got ready and left for class at 8:00. We had a second lecture about genes in my Bio lecture.
I worked from 9:30-12:00. During this time, I entered student information into an online spreadsheet, I then had to take all of those papers out of the folders and shred them. Next, I made 112 copies of some advising forms and hole punch them with a 2-hole punch, and had to make 112 new student files using those papers along with the certain tabs that go into each folder.
Can we just take a minute to admire the beauty in these mountains?
This is what I get to look at each day, this is taken outside of the Nursing Building, on the 4th floor balcony. <3
Mind you, these are not normal files where the papers are just slipped in, they are the folders with the two really long metal prongs at the top. And, when you need to put something in a certain spot in the folder, you must take everything about it out, and yeah. It gets kind of tiring opening and closing a trillion metal prongs. But it went well overall :)
I then had Oceanography from 12:00-1:20, and then went back to work from 1:30-2:30. During this hour, I changed some information on these papers and also helped a few students coming in and out for advising.
At 2:30, I left work and headed back to my dorm. I got there, had a snack and got changed for band practice. It was super gloomy outside, with dark clouds surrounding us, however it didn't rain, but the sun was blocked, so we stayed cool. Today we went over marching and music, and then we learned the Time Warp dance from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, because that is one of the tunes that we are playing for the homecoming show this weekend.
Practice ended at 5:15, and afterwards, Marisa, Nathan, Raquel and I were talking about what we were going to dress up as for the homecoming show. This year's theme is Futuristic. So first they wanted to be Doctor Who characters, then they wanted to be characters from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, but they ended up finally deciding on being characters from the animated show, Adventure Time....
Now I can't really complain, because it isn't like I had any better ideas, but this one seems a bit weird. Supposedly the show is set in a post-apocolyptic time period, so I guess it is technically "futuristic"...but yeah. So I am Princess Bubblegum, here she is...
So we decided to go shopping for out costumes now.
First we stopped off at the bank so Marisa could get money out, and then we headed off to the mall.
As we were driving, the sun was setting, and I took this pretty picture with the silhouettes of the palm trees, I love it.
We went to Hot Topic, where Nathan found his stuff, and then we went to the food court to get some food. They all made fun of me for getting a smoothie and sandwich from Jamba Juice when there is such a large variety at the food court. They aren't used to this though like everyone back home, and I also wanted to be healthy! So I'm glad I went for the healthy option :)
After little success at the mall, we went to Walmart, and Raquel, Marisa and I found our outfits there.
So Princess Bubblegum is a scientist, so I bought pink leggings, and pick shirt, a crown and washable pink hairspray and then I am just going to wear my lab coat that I use for Biology. :)
Nathan is being Finn, Marisa is the Lumpy Space Princess, and Raquel is Marceline, the vampire.
After we finally got our costumes, it was 9:30, and so Nathan dropped us back off at the dorms, and we went our separate ways!
I think the outfits will look good :)
So I got back to my dorm at 10:00, and since I had only been in my room once today for about 20 minutes, I hadn't done my homework yet, so I've just completed that, and not I'm ready to get some sleep because I am exhausted!
I hope you enjoyed, and I'll definitely put pictures of our outfits up here in Saturday night's post.
I'll talk to you all tomorrow
Goodnight! <3
I was gone from 8:00am until 10:00pm.
I woke up at 6:30, got ready and left for class at 8:00. We had a second lecture about genes in my Bio lecture.
I worked from 9:30-12:00. During this time, I entered student information into an online spreadsheet, I then had to take all of those papers out of the folders and shred them. Next, I made 112 copies of some advising forms and hole punch them with a 2-hole punch, and had to make 112 new student files using those papers along with the certain tabs that go into each folder.
Can we just take a minute to admire the beauty in these mountains?
This is what I get to look at each day, this is taken outside of the Nursing Building, on the 4th floor balcony. <3
Mind you, these are not normal files where the papers are just slipped in, they are the folders with the two really long metal prongs at the top. And, when you need to put something in a certain spot in the folder, you must take everything about it out, and yeah. It gets kind of tiring opening and closing a trillion metal prongs. But it went well overall :)
I then had Oceanography from 12:00-1:20, and then went back to work from 1:30-2:30. During this hour, I changed some information on these papers and also helped a few students coming in and out for advising.
At 2:30, I left work and headed back to my dorm. I got there, had a snack and got changed for band practice. It was super gloomy outside, with dark clouds surrounding us, however it didn't rain, but the sun was blocked, so we stayed cool. Today we went over marching and music, and then we learned the Time Warp dance from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, because that is one of the tunes that we are playing for the homecoming show this weekend.
Practice ended at 5:15, and afterwards, Marisa, Nathan, Raquel and I were talking about what we were going to dress up as for the homecoming show. This year's theme is Futuristic. So first they wanted to be Doctor Who characters, then they wanted to be characters from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, but they ended up finally deciding on being characters from the animated show, Adventure Time....
Now I can't really complain, because it isn't like I had any better ideas, but this one seems a bit weird. Supposedly the show is set in a post-apocolyptic time period, so I guess it is technically "futuristic"...but yeah. So I am Princess Bubblegum, here she is...
