Arrival to Hawaii

Oh Heyy,
So I finally made it to Hawaii! After a whole day of flying and running through airports! Today was the first time we did things as a class and we had three guest speakers and were able to walk around downtown Hilo. First we enjoyed the company of Mililani Trask who is an attorney here and is also involved with the UN and has TONS of interesting stories that really hit home and meant a lot to me. After we ate lunch we took the drive to Akaka Falls and hiked down to see the biggest waterfall I have ever seen. I couldn't believe how beautiful it was, I just wish we could have gotten closer! Then Craig Severence spoke to us about a current problem with the native against some rich people trying to take their land from them. It was very moving. Then we took a walk down to the black sand beach by Prof Onagas' mother's house. After dinner we went into a classroom to listen to Major Kim talk about his outlook on the world. He was very interesting and was completely original, gave me a whole new look on life and word peace. Enjoy some of these pics, check Facebook if you want more!
Love yas!

Summer Plans

Oh Heyy~ So I don't really have a reason for a blog just yet, but I don't feel like getting out of bed to do laundry, so here I am making my blog a month too early. These pics are of some of my best friends who helped me become who I am: Holly, Sarah Shook, Braelyn Shook, and Mommy. I am currently a senior at MSU. I am working as security and in the inter-group relations lab in the psychology department at MSU. I have a really busy summer ahead of me, I have to study for the GRE, I am working at Linwood Corners, I am going to be moving next weekend, and I am studying in Hawaii starting June 28th (my sisters birthday). The last to-do is why I started a blog, a prof going with the group to Hawaii suggested we make a blog and write in it every night so we don;t forget all of the cool things we did on our trip. Well, I will try to do just that and keep this updated with fun things I am doing this summer (I will save you from blogs about the GRE as much as I can). See you around!!
