Made it!

Hey everyone!
So I made it to Hawaii! The flight was good, super long though. The first night I spent with my parents at Turtle Bay. We went to dinner at this really fun cafe that was called H-------- Cafe, it was the name of the city and I have no idea how to spell or pronounce it! It was delicious though. Like really. But that was yesterday. Today was much more exciting. I got to check into the school which wasn't anything too exciting, they just briefed me on the other orientation activities and talked about honor code. But then I got to check into the dorms (hales) and got to meet my room mate!!! Her name is Pele and she is super super super nice! She is from Tonga and this is her first college experience as well. I am so lucky to have her as a room mate! I then went with my parents shopping to get a TON of stuff for my room. Now let me tell you a little bit about my room..... it is TINY. I think it is smaller than my bathroom at home. It is originally a single person room but they are so filled up this term they had to stick two people in here. There isn't even enough room for two of the closets so they had to give us one of those portable folding closets! It's kinda funny. And it is a really good thing I like my roommate!
After we got back from Walmart I worked on unpacking and then went to dinner with Pele. Dinner was tin fish. Literally. The fish came out of a tin, like Spam but of the sea. Not my cup of tea. (Oh wait, byu here... my cup of lemonade. =].) Since then we've just been chillin' out. Tomorrow Pele, me, and another girl I just met named Amy are going to a service project bright and early! Good thing I'm still on Utah time!
Much LOVE!
Maggie
