I Know Who My Friends Are

I haven’t posted in about 27 days now. Let me tell you why!

It has been an insanely eventful month for me! For the most part it is because classes are now in session. It’s a grueling school week for me. Classes Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, I begin my week with a Marine Biology lecture, focusing on Coral Reef formation in Hawaii. Then I move onto the Geology of the Hawaiian Islands, Intro to Visual Art, and conclude my day with Intro to Fiction Writing. Heavy, I know. Then Wednesday rolls around and I have to gear up and go snorkeling for a couple hours, taking pictures of cool looking coral and fish on the reef communities out here. Thursday is a nice repeat of Tuesday’s painful grind, and then Friday is the hardest day of them all. Kinesiology class, aka Mountain Biking all afternoon. Yeah, apparently buying a mountain bike was a good idea, it turned out to be a class requirement. I love class requirements here in the middle of the Pacific. I’ve bought all of 3 textbooks, 2 of which are actually just Coral Reef Field Guides. This is my life. This is the daily grind. (Feel the sarcasm? You should.)

As for the days that I am not out snorkeling for credits to graduate college, I usually spend my time on some kind of unforgettable adventure. Even the walk to target seems like a scenic view.

But hey, that hike has nothing on Akaka Falls, Hapuna Beach, Kona Day, my ride on a Submarine (yes a real submarine), and Volcanoes National Park.

Just a handful of my adventures, these are truly some of my favorite. They are the few outrageous events that breakup the day to day unbelievable activities that have become my life here.
