This Week, February 23-28th

Tuesday (24th) second block began, meaning it was time for Hula class. i have only been to class twice but i can already tell that its going to be hard. the names of the steps and steps themselves are strange to a haole like me.
Friday (27th) i still cant believe. i studied, hard core, from 11:00a-5:00p for my humanities test. i know i had help from above because there is no way normal kendall would have been able to have the patience let alone motivation to do such a thing. my reward for being so diligent was getting to watch the movie Twilight for the first time in the schools auditorium. i tried really hard not to laugh too much in the movie but it was extremely cheesy and weird, but i vowed to give it another try...someday.
Saturday (28th) i woke up early and took the multiple choice portion of my test in under 30mins and got an 85%, the essay part took about an hour. i had to take the test early because we were planning on taking the bus to Waikiki, about a 2 hour bus ride. we happen to run into our friend, Kyle, on our way to the bus stop. we invited him, and his car, to come with us and he agreed. Kyle, Christina, Britnee, Javier, Suzy, and me all squished into his car and buckled up for the ride to Honolulu. we had a blast with this group! the ride there christina and i had been telling them about how good Puka hot dogs were. when we arrived in Waikiki everyone agreed a puka dog sounded really good! it was as delectable as the first time and everyone loved them! aftert we walked around downtown and had fun going through the asian market (i bartered with some chinese lady for earrings, each time she decreased by 25-cents until she met my price. it was funny when i put them on because the first thing christina said was, "you look so girlie" ha apparently i look like a man all the time here), going into surf shops, and exploring the ferrari store. we slowly made our way to the beach and i started laughing when i saw the water chuck full of first time surfers, the ocean was littered with them. we walked down the beach a ways till we found a less crowded beach. we hung out and played with Kyle's soccer ball. later on we rented a giant discus looking tube and the 4 of us sailed off to sea, until we realized how hard it was to paddle back to shore. for being a city it was really quiet and serene which made it easy to relax on the beach and watch the stand up paddle surfers glide by. by this time we were hungry again and chose Cheese Cake Factory as our next chain restaurant. we meandered around while waiting for a table. luckily we didn't have to wait long, we got a big round table and were given delicious bread to get the salty ocean out of our mouths (i shouldn't be writing about this on fast sunday ha). i was so excited to have a real salad that i could hardly contain my self. our meals arrived and we dug in, i remember Suzy mentioning, "why isn't anyone talking?" someone answered, "we're busy eating". by the time we left Cheese Cake the streets were busy with entertainers and hordes of people. we found the car and took the long journey home. everyone was exhausted! i LOVE Waikiki
