It’s warm – borderline too warm, but by far way better than cold!
It’s pretty. It’s funny though. It’s one of the prettiest places I’ve ever been, and one of the ugliest. I’m not quite sure how that works. But it does.
The people are friendly. My ward seems really cool; we’re having FHE tonight so I’m excited to meet some new people.
My house is your typical college house, or your typical Hawaii house. Either way you want to look at it. I like it! Except it gets really hot in the afternoons, my clothes literally stick to me. Apparently I’m going to have to start going to the beach every afternoon…poor me! ;)
Classes are different than I thought they would be. I’m taking all intro to International Cultural Studies and intro to Anthropology classes. They’re all really easy. I’m not really feeling a challenge, which is a bit frustrating. I don’t know if it’s because they are all lower level classes, or if that’s just how the university is. I’ve heard the classes are pretty laid back and easy down here, so I’m not sure which one it is.
Let’s recap my past majors for a moment, shall we? I started out as a music therapy major. It wasn’t long before I decided that since music is my outlet, I don’t want it to be my full-time (and sure to be stressful) job. So then it was off to computer science. Have you ever seen the TV show 24? (If not, google it!) I want/wanted Chloe’s job. I took my first CS class and quickly decided that real life is most definitely not 24. So it was onto early childhood special education. Perfect plan. But then…I decided that I was done with Idaho, so it was just early childhood development and education. I applied to BYU-Hawaii as a special education major. But then I found out they have an international cultural studies program (pretty much a longer name for anthropology) so it was onto that. Now here I am trying to decide what to do. I was thinking that my anthro classes were going to be more philosophical than they are. I’m trying to decide if I want to stick with anthro, or go back to early childhood special education (I would want to do early intervention with that degree), or go get my paralegal certificate (I love paperwork).
I hate not having a life plan. It stresses me out.
My whole family came with me to drop me off. That was really fun. Probably the best family vacation we've ever been on.
Well, the girls had fun...
It feels good to write again.
More to come on the family vaca...
