I have already failed! But, I have an excuse. I can't get plugged into wifi on my laptop so I've been limited to updating when I'm on campus and on a school computer.
This weekend has been spectacular. Thanksgiving was a blast; I made it to three different dinners. I was surrounded by new friends and people who have become my family; I loved it. On Friday, I went to the library, finished a paper in less time than I expected and then was picked up by my aunty and her family to go to the Kahuku Red Raiders football game. I have never seen so much community spirit behind a high school team before in my life. It was amazing to see the support that everyone had for those boys on the field. I was honored to be a part of it and to experience what it means to be a "Red Raider for Life". I took pictures but strangely they were all deleted so I'll figure out how to get videos up here. I have been loving my time in Hawaii and everyday I wake up I know that I made the right choice to come out here. Also, I got an AMAZING box of stuff from my family today - protein bars, TIME magazine, and bagels! I loved it. I spoke to my oldest sister yesterday and she told me about her plan to write a children's book series; she asked me to be her editor. I am so excited to be given this opportunity to work with her and I know that we will learn a lot through the process. I am grateful for my family and for the person they have helped me to become.
