Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like...

... the end of the semester. You thought I was going to say Christmas huh? Well that too... And I am listening to Michael Buble's Christmas album. Yes it is only the day after Thanksgiving... So? The turkey had its day... Now its Christmas time :)Even decorated our suite with Christmas lights and wrapped our doors with wrapping paper!

Finals are approaching, I have a paper due in the next few weeks and I decided that before things get too crazy that I might take the time and catch up on the latest and greatest, and take some time to reflect on the past few months.


Its hard to believe that my first semester at college is almost done. It really hasn't felt like college because my classes are really small... with the exception on my Chem lecture. But really, most my classes are the size of my high school ones with exception that some of the people in my class can be my age, or even 10 years older! Its fun because no one looks down on you for your age. You are all taking the same class, you are all equal.

Going to a university the size of a public high school is fun because you get to recognize everyone to the point you will say hi and maybe stop and chat. Its like RCS but nobody cares about your drama! Refreshing :) Granted there are a few uhh "air heads" to put it nicely... But there are always a few.


With the semester closing, that means some friends are leaving. I'm really sad about this because the last few months I have met some awesome people and hope I will keep in contact with them. Wish they could stay longer, but I guess that is what Facebook is for! Really gonna miss them that is for sure!

On a happier note, I have done so much! Been on so many adventures- Green Sands beach hike, Mauna Kea summit, hiking into the caldera of a volcano, biked 23 miles, sailed, scuba dived, walked to town, went on photoshoot adventures, and so much more!

Which leads me into my other bit of big new... I got my first job! Yep I have officially entered the working world. As what might you ask? I am an employee of the Outdoor Adventure Staff!!! What does that mean? All the things I just listed up there... Yeah I now get paid to do that... Although I do have to drive the vans and there is office work... So it isn't all fun and games... ;) My coworkers are awesome! Two of which are my suitemates. I swear we do just about everything together. I love the vibe with the staff! Just a fun, relaxed yet a "we get it done" atmosphere.

So far life out here is pretty great... Minus that school work bit ;)

Enjoy the pictures.
