STAIRWAY

Last week I did the Stairway to Heaven hike! It was amazing! We got up at 3:45Am and got to head of the trail about an hour later. It was really hard-the hike is straight up the mountain...and its stairs. 4000 to be exact. The views were spectacular! It was definitely worth it!

Sunset at Sunset

After a very busy day of fun beach activites, we ended up at Sunset beach to watch the sunset. We even saw a seal!

The fateful jump

I finally did it! I conquered my fears and jumped of the rock at Waimea Bay. I was getting ready to jump when another girl asked if I wanted to hold hands and jump because she was scared too. I figured that that would be fine. Well...back in the day when I used to go bridge/cliff jumping all the time I never held hands with anyone, so I didn't really know what i was doing. Some might say that is common sense, but apparently not for me. She jumped before me, but we were holding hands, so it threw off my balance...in the end...I hit the water sideways! Yeah...I probably won't be jumping off the rock again.

You can't tell, but the whole inside of my leg was instantly bruised.

Rip off

This summer term i spent nearly $200 on books. You would think that i would get a good chunk of money back. NO! I got $17 back! ok...enough complaining, but that does kind of seem like an injustice to me!

Zoo pics

After several attempts to load some pictures, here they are!

Finally, THE ZOO

Since I came out here, I have wanted to go to the Honolulu zoo. I made several attempts, but they all failed for various reasons-none of which were my fault. Then finally, a new date was set to go-Friday. I am all ready to go. I was getting picked up in twenty minutes and my beach bag was already packed. Then I get the text-"I locked my keys in the car" After several attempts to get into the car, a locksmith was called. he would be there in 10 minutes. Well that is hawaiian time once more, so really about an hour later he came. We were still able to go to the zoo and it was so fun! Its right off Waikiki beach too. After we spent a couple hours at the zoo we headed over to the beach. A fun day for sure!

I don't like hair

Ever since I was a child, I have disliked hair. It is fine when it is on someones head, i.e. attached, but anywhere else is gross. I used to hate it when my brothers would get their hair cut because there would be little hair pieces everywhere, all over the counter and in my food! Even when they would say that they had cleaned it up, there was also some hair left. As i have grown older, and more mature (haha), I have somewhat grown out of this. At least I don't make a huge deal out of it. Ok...keep that in mind for the next part of the story. So some friends and I went to get dinner in Haleiwa at Cholos, a Mexican restaurant. It was good, I got a chicken taco salad. I have eaten most of it when I feel something really gross in my mouth-YES A HAIR! I am trying to stay calm, but all of my childhood fears came back to me! It was the sickest thing! I spit all of the food that was in my mouth out into a napkin. I wanted to throw up. I didn't, I just stopped eating my salad because I was way too grossed out to eat anymore. Finding a hair in your food has to be one of the sickest things ever! At least we got a picture of us before the gross hair incident-otherwise i would have had a frowny face!
