Bad Weather? Where?

So, I don’t know if you’ve heard or noticed on the website, but we got an extra day in Hawaii because of a typhoon somewhere between Hilo and San Diego.  So, on Monday night, instead of leaving Hilo towards San Diego, we went back to Honolulu.  Since Tuesday was scheduled to be a study day for our A-day exams (today) we were able to get off the ship and enjoy one last (they’re calling it a “gift” day) day in Honolulu.  I have no idea where the bad weather is though, so I’m going around saying that this is the best “snow” day I’ve had in my life.  Since I did actually have a good amount of work to get done yesterday, some friends and I went to the University of Hawaii at Manoa campus and got some work done in their library.  After a sweet Indian food lunch on campus, we went to Waikiki beach for the evening and had a last dip in the Pacific.  It was a gorgeous, lucky day for us. 

Today won’t be as much fun.  I got up at 0745 and had breakfast and then got ready for the day.  I tutored Megan from 0900 to 1000 and I am quickly writing this blog post before my public speaking exam (which really should be a breeze) at 1045 to 1130.  At 1130, I’m meeting with my A-Team to finish up our project for Service Learning which will take up a huge portion of the day, but it will help me put the finishing touches on my portfolio which is due tomorrow afternoon.  So today I will be working only on my portfolio, and tomorrow I will finish up my write-ups for my music class.  I also need to pack.

I love the last week of the semester.  Although I’m trying to take this one in stride since it is the last finals week I’ll have to endure for at least a few years. 

Oh, and even though we got to stay in Hawaii longer than planned, I live on the fastest passenger ship in the whole wide world and so we’ll still be docking in San Diego on time.  I hope we CRUISE!  I’m talking like 27 knots (our usual average is around 14).  That would be awesome.  San Diego at 0800 hours on December 14, 2009.  This is the definition of bittersweet.

Wish me luck.

Miss you all and see you soon!
