A very first.

I have experienced a lot of firsts here in Hawaii. However, this first I am not so very happy about. I have lost my voice. I am straining to talk to people and it is only making it worse. I have never lost my voice before. If you know me, you know I'm a talker too and it is VERY hard to sit and not talk. I have pretty much tried to trap myself in my room so I have no one to talk to. It isn't working though because I just tell my friends to come and see me in my room. Anyways, I went to the doctor yesterday and he said I just have a common cold and that my vocal chords are just strained from coughing so much. I was told to take a cough supressant and expectorant and that I would be fine in a couple of weeks. This makes me sad because I am supposed to sing in the Fiji Day celebration at the PCC on Sunday but I doubt that I'm going to be able to. I ask you all to pray for me!! I would really appreciate it because I have been working so hard for this all semester. Thanks!

Also, another first, I rode my bike to work. It is actually the first time I've ridden it somewhere (besides the parking lot). It was interesting. I just kept pedaling and praying that I wouldn't tip over or get my feet caught in the pedals. I was super scared but with practice I'll be able to ride it everywhere.
