Day 2 in Waikiki

While I'm waiting for the wedding party to arrive in a bit, I think I'll write more. Last night, I was so tired from walking all day, I went to bed a 12. There was another girl who arrived yesterday and she also fell asleep around the same time.

Yesterday, as I was walking about, two tall guys were having a smooch...BIG TIME, right in front of me. Um, I must say, although I have nothing against gays, it did make me feel a bit akward.

More on my roommates. Staying at a place where you room with strangers is great. You get to know new people. 5 out of the 8 that were in the room were travelling solo. Great, huh? I didn't realize it was so common to travel solo. I used to not feel so comfortable jumping into a crowd of strangers, but this time around, it didn't feel akward. Although I have to say, when some of the girls started going into detail about their birthcontrol pills and their escapades, I decided it was time for me to read instead. I'm not THAT comfortable about opening up with people I just met =). The Japanese part of me is surprised that complete strangers can get together and just jump right in and join in on whatever converstaion that is going on and make it seem like they know each other. I love it. I doubt that'd happen in Japan much. Everyone keeps to themselves.
Hey TF, after walking for miles, I bumped into a Wal-Mart and got the calendars you asked for. I still need to make it to AAA to renew my international driver's license, find a Bank of America, and hopefully go to Costco to buy gifts for the students in bulk. I might not get a chance to go to the education store.

Oh yeah, I tend to forget to eat when I'm totally absorbed in doing something. Yesterday was one of those days. By the time I reached Wal-Mart, I felt dizzy and realized I hadn't eaten or drank anything in 12 hours. Made a stop at Jamba Juice (yummy!) and felt better afterwards.

I woke up at 3 am last night and couldn't go back to sleep for couple of hours. I tossed and turned and shook the bed so I was worried I'd wake the girl on the bottom bunk, but she said she couldn't sleep either, so whew. Speaking of bunk beds, the bed had no side rails, so i was a bit worried that I would roll right over. I'm happy to say I found myself on the bed when I woke up this morning and not on the floor.

Walked to the beach this morning. Everyone is wearing bikinis here. It's WARM here! It feels really good.

GOtta go.
