Aloha from Hawai'i!

Aloha! I've made it to Hawai'i finally. It has not been without its fair share of issues getting here. For starters, I was supposed to arrive in Hawai'i on Thursday afternoon but I barely left Monmouth. Why? Well, on the way to the airport I told my mom that I didn't feel very good. We decided to leave to the airport thinking it was nerves about moving. I was wrong. I got home and got VERY ill. It was awful. I don't know if I had the stomach flu or food poisoning but I don't ever want it again. I rescheduled my flight which was not cheap and then just slept all day Thursday. Today I woke up feeling ready to go. It was a good day to move. I was still a little quesy but I knew that I could make it.

The flight over was LONG! It was a 5 1/2 hour flight so I was done with airplanes when I landed in Maui but I still had to go to Oahu. The flight wasn't so bad. Actually, I sat next to this really friendly girl and we became fast friends. We talked a lot and then they announced that the movie screens weren't working so we would have to rent mini digital players if we wanted to watch anything. The girl next to me volunteered to split the cost of one with me and we watched the movie titled Never Back Down. In my opinion, if you haven't watched this movie DONT. It was predictable and an over done plot. After that I watched the movie Over my Dead Body with Eva Longoria-Parker. It was super cute. I liked it. I recommend you watch it but not more than once.

After I landed in Maui, Tara (the girl next to me) and I figured out that we had the same flight to Oahu so we hung out in the airport together. It was nice t have someone to talk to. Then, I finally arrived on Oahu!!

It is amazing! It is gorgeous! Words can not describe this place. It is magical. I am in love with an island... Anyways, I made it to BYU-Hawaii and I am moved into my dorm. It is a place to sleep but I hope I don't have to spend too much time in my room after the semester starts. I moved in and there were a zillion ants crawling all over everything. It was pretty gross. They were even in my bed! I quickly discoverd, however, that hairspray makes a GREAT bug killer in a pinch. Then, after I got tired of battling the never ending stream of ants I finally gave up and asked the RA what to do. She gave me some bug spray which I have soaked my room with and I will at least be able to sleep tonight. Tomorrow I am going to Wal-mart and I'm going to buy Blackflag and Tarro traps. Those ants will not live to see another day!

Here are some pics from my journey so far:


From the airplane. That is not sky but OCEAN!
Another shot from the airplane. This is of Oahu.
On the way to my Hale.
Car shot so it's not that good.
My dorm room...so far. Once I get rid of the ants I'll start decorating.


My fold out desk. I was just beginning to set up my laptop and stuff.
