Aloha Friday

I think that I should start trying to post something every Friday since that's when all the craziest things happen. Today was fun, I got my papers back from English that I spent hours writing. My first one, which was my Doll's House essay, I got 75 out of 85 on it. And then my second one, which I wrote on Flannery O'Connor's short story "A Good Man is Hard to Find" which I got 65. I was super mad about the second one and all the comments Professor Williams made. He commented against all the changes I made because the Tutor in the "Reading, Writing Center"! I was so bummed! It makes me think that I won't be going back there for any help. I'll just ask people who I know I can trust. Goodness. Maybe I just won't go to that particular Tutor!
After classes I had work for three hours. It wasn't too bad. However, when I walked around the Hale to make sure everything was running smoothly, I took a look at the bulletin boards I decorated earlier that month. This is what I found! Some of the girls had taken the pictures! I laughed so hard. I put up 16 celebrities; Shia Labouf, Will Smith, Channing Tatum, Chris Pine, Matthew McConaughey, Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Lautner, David Beckham, Robert Downey Jr, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Robert Pattinson, Christan Bale and Johnny Depp. So, guess which ones are gone! (All the bolded ones). All but seven. LoL. Robert Pattinson was the first to go, I'm sure. That's the kind of Hale I live in. I just thought it was funny that they stole the pictures. I was upset that someone took Ryan Reynolds. That was my favorite. I even put a little heart by his picture. Haha.
After work, I went with Camille, Jayne, Rich and Grant to celebrate Camille's Birthday! We went to Ted's bakery in Grants convertible and then ate dinner at Sunset beach. We sat on a blanket and ate. I took tons of pictures of the sunset. It really was beautiful. I never get tired of watching and listening to the waves. It really goes to show that only a powerful being like Heavenly Father could create something so amazing. It kills me that such a beautiful thing gets a little tainted by girls who come to the beach just to take scandalous pictures of themselves in their bikinis. We joked about me going up and taking pictures of them with my own camera, but I didn't. I really didn't want to. Lol. Otherwise, the beach was gorgeous and it was nice to just relax and remember all the great things in life. I love taking my shoes off and just burying my feet in the sand. It feels so good. And when you step in the sand that the water just pushed up on shore, where it makes your feet cool and sticks to your feet like a sock. I really love it.
I drew in the sand till the water washed it away. It's okay though. It was so much fun! We had a blast! I got some chocolate Mousse from the bakery because I was planning to get some shrimp when we stopped off by Kahuku grill for dessert. When we got to the grill, there were CHOKE people there. All the times I've been there, I had never seen it that packed. Seek, Sterling, Krystal and Kei were working. I immediately started helping. I told Camille and them to go home and finish celebrating for her birthday while I helped. It was rough at first cause I just had to get used to the way Krystal and Kei did things, but it all worked out. It ended up being super fun. No surprise. The best was when I threw the potatoes I had just cut into the fryer right over Seek's head and he FLIPPED out! We both couldn't believe that I had actually made it. I didn't take any pictures of the grill cause we were so busy, but just know it was way fun. As usual. Plus, Sterling made me some cocnut shrimp when we were finished. DELICIOUS! One day I will take a picture of JUST the food. It's soooooooo Good!
Just another typical day in Hawaii. Actually, it's more of a typical day in Laie. You cannot really do too much without a car. Good thing I know choke people with cars! Love it! (Still kind of miss my personal chauffeur though). I absolutely love every minute I spend here on the Island. Plus, I learn something new each day. That's the best part of all!

Good blog....I could picture everything you did last night!

What is "choke"....I assume it is an adjective that means "I can't believe it?". Never heard it before! I love you.
