5 More School Days. Yay!

Senior year is coming to a close. Im stoked and sad at the same time. Anyways here are some of the random things have been doing.

Senior Tile: Way more time consuming than I thought it would be. Everything had to have five coats of the paint and they cant overlap. So my jellyfish lost like all of its tentacles because

I didnt want to paint all of them and between them. hahahah.

Morp: Prom spelled backwards I guess. hahah. I went with my friend mozy and we made our shirts which i think look fantastical. Last high school dance was pretty good actually. hahah

Voter Registration: In AP Gov't we registered to vote. That was pretty cool.

Model UN: Pretty much the most ridiculous looking kids at Model UN were the chairs. hahah It was funny cause while were up there were all serious like "You will address me as Madam Chair" and "The Chair will now entertain any main motions" and stuff like that but we looked retarded. Our country was the US.

Senior Lock-In: The senior lock-in at the gym was pretty fun. We had a dance and games and watched a movie and stuff. It started at 9pm and finished at 7am. Then I had a meeting for girls camp at 8am. Yeah, that was great. hahahha.

Hahahah. Random games during registration.

Up for way to long. hahah

Life is good.

A lot of awesome things have been happening to me lately. Not to say that good things haven't been happening to me my whole life, I'm so spoiled it's ridiculous, but yeah.

Anyways, today I got a letter in the mail and it was from BYU and they are giving me full tuition scholarship for fall and winter! First I thought it was half but it turned out be full since I'm mormon! Yay! I am going to school for free! YAY! That was pretty nuts I totally didn’t expect to get a scholarship.

Basically I look crazy in this picture. hahaha

A few days ago I got a call from mrs. Palmer telling me I won the Starbucks Star Poet contest. That was way cool plus I get $50! I am also happy I won because every year the private school kids from Iolani and Punaho sweep the competition. Hahaha. I didn’t think I would win that either because I wrote the poem super fast at recess one day because I forgot it was due. Here it is in case you wanna read it. Personally I don’t think it’s that great but hey, if they like it that’s awesome.

Laksa and Ama

I sweep noodles

Through a fiery red-orange

Ocean of spices with my chopsticks

Tongue burning, eyes watering

Lips turned scarlet

“Why am I still eating this?”

Can deliciousness exist with this pain?

Ama’s weathered hand slowly navigates across the table

Between the obstacles of heat-tarnished pots and mismatched utensils

Chili sauce furrowed between her wrinkled fingers

“More?” she asks

“No, I’m ok.”

Her laughter ricochets off the walls adorned with peeling paint

“American cannot take”

I dart my hand across the table

Seize the small glass bottle

And before my mind swings

Plunge its contents into my bowl of punishment

And victory.

The other week I got third place in the state for this magazine cover I designed in yearbook class. That was pretty cool. We got to go on a field trip and see our stuff hanging in the convention center. Kahuku kids got a lot of awards, that made me happy cause in case you haven’t noticed I love to see public schools like kahuku beat the private ones. hahaha

This post doesn't have enough pictures so here are some from two hikes I went on last week. hahahah

Laie falls. Shayne, Huey, Kallie, Gabby, Me, Mikey

Weathers been chilly lately so the freezing cold water was extra numbing. Explanation for my retard face. hahahahah

Betcha didn't know this beauty was behind PCC. haha. Love this hike.

six year olds dont need cell phones

So I tutor after school for the A+ program at Kahuku elementary. I love those kids so much!

Anyways today I was helping this girl in first grade and her and her little friends were talking about how they googled Justin Biebers phone number and were trying to call him. It blew my mind. They're six years old! what do they need cell phones for, seriously. hahahaha. Another thing that blew my mind is that they know how to text.

And Justin Beiber, really? They described to me how "cute" he is and how they like his hair and know all his songs. Then they showed me their dance moves, which can I say were way too risque for their age, but were funny to me. hahahaha

They are funny kids. I'm gonna miss them when I graduate.

Youth Conference

Youth Conference was pretty much the bomb this year. I was on the planning committee so I was super hoping everything would turn out. It was the biggest Youth Conference I've ever seen. It was the Laie stake, the Laie North stake, and one of the BYUH stakes. There were over 600 kids there it was awesome.

We camped at cricket field a night and it was so fun. The security was crazy. hahah guys on one side of the field girls on the other with over 75 security guys and bright lights everywhere. hahaha. We brought a fire truck to spray all the kids since we knew it'd be super hot and that was so unbelievably fun. It was supposed to be "cleansing" but everyone ended up wrestling in the mud. All the activities, workshops and everything all just worked out, it was great. The testimony meeting was amazing. So many people went up it lasted over two and a half hours and nobody minded we all wanted it to last longer.

Youth Conference has always been something I've looked forward to and that has always helped me. I was sooooo unbelievably happy when people said it was the best youth conference theyd ever been to, that it strengthened their testimonies, that theyd made new friends, or even that it was just fun. Operation Youth Conference: VICTORIOUS!! hahaha

Here are some pictures: I took like none. I was so bust running around everywhere.

Kallie, Caressa, Kevin, Me, Gabby, And Shez at the Camp of Israel! haha

At one of the dances.

After the Testimony meeting. Mikey, Me, Gabby, and Kevin

Helaman Halls!

So I am super spoiled and have never shared a room. So its really weird for me to think that someone is going to be sleeping in the same room as me. I think that is so awkward. hahaha But it should be a good experience becasue I really should learn how to share stuff....like living space. hahahah I sound like such a spoiled brat.

I signed up for housing the other day fro BYU. Im staying in Helaman Halls in the David John building. yay! A bunch of us had the same day for registering so afterwards we were all excited so we played our official dorm room celebration song and danced around.

Anyways here is the sketchy part. I signed up for a room that was empty thus far and then a few minutes after some girl signed up for the bed next to me. We tried to look her up on facebook BUT SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ONE. Hmmmmmmm. So now I am worried. hahaha. Either she is really, really unbelievably busy or she is some weirdo recluse. I am probably over reacting. She could have no internet. Or she used a different spelling for her name. Who knows. All I know is that a college bound teenager should have a facebook. especially if she is going to be my roommate.

Spring Break

Here are some pictures of a fews things I did over the break. It's late so I don't really feel like writing much. hahahah but the pictures are pretty self explanatory anyways.

Crazy Hike

Mike and levi at the second waterfall

Cant really tell but we are this cool cave that we found. hahah

Me eating rock.

So on friday morning my friends Gabby, Levi, Saya, Mikey and I went on a hike in Hauula. Basically the hike doesnt have a trail so we were crawling on the ground under branches and crap. hahaha about 70% of the trail was hopping on rocks in this stream. They were really slippery so i ate it alot. haha I have so many bruises and scratches its ridiculous. Anyways the waterfalls we got to were amazing and the water was nice and freezing. Thats it. hahaha Story of my life.
