So today was one heck of a full day! I got up really early and have gotten a lot of stuff done. When I got up (at 7 ish) I got dressed then went to breakfast. At 8:30 we were supposed to have a campus tour, but they all got pushed back, so we didn't go until after 9. It wasn't the most informative tour ever, but I learned a little and got a planner.
Once we got done with that, we were going to go to the temple, but it just didn't work out. So my parents left campus and I went to make myself presentable. I went and got my mailbox (if anyone wants my address, just message me on Facebook or something and I'll let you know what it is) and then went and got my picture taken for my student ID that I get tomorrow. I met some people I met for lunch at noon then went to a New Student Orientation activity. Once that was done, we went to the PCC and got to experience it. It was super amazingly awesome and if anyone ever comes to Hawaii, totally go there (even though it is expensive, it is well worth it).
My group was lucky because the NSO guy that was in charge of us works at the PCC as a tour guide, so we got the real thing. We learned about all the different islands and saw a bunch of shows from Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga and New Zealand. We got pretend tattoos with paint and they are really fun. The canoe ride was a bunch of fun, our guy pushing the boat was from Fiji and he had a wonderful sense of humor.
My parents decided to go to the PCC today too, and in the evening they were going to go to the luau and show. Our tour got over at 5, and I wanted to go with them, so I did. The Luau was fun and I ate WAAAAYYY too much food. The show after," Ha: The Breath of Life" was so amazing. Back a while ago we saw a fire dancer at a Jet Blue party and we thought it was cool. Oh my heavens, they had like 20 fire dancers here - so much more awesome!
So, yeah, today was fantastic. And seriously, anyone is totally welcome to come say hi if you're ever in Hawaii!
Love you all lots, and loving it here!
