I have been reflecting on the first day that I arrvied in Laie, HI. I was, as my friend Anne Shirley would say, "in the depths of despair!" I had moved into a dorm room the size of my mother's closet and my roommate and I came from two completely different worlds. In efforts to raise my spirit and analyze my situation I began to write this blog about my life as a hermit. It has been two months since that first day and things have changed from despair to delight. I surprise myself while writing. Why? I never thought that I would consider staying here and graduating from this school...I am torn. Hawaii is a beautiful place but there are a few things I miss about Utah.
1: My amazing family! They mean everything to me.
2: My friends from home...they're great.
3: Homecooking...cafeteria food doesn't quite satsify me the same way. Plus, they serve mainly Oriental food and Polynesian food. It has been too long since I have had Mexican and ITALIAN!
4: Seasons...I like seasons
There are LOTS of things I LOVE about Laie:
1: The beauty...it's like I stepped out of a Jurassic Park movie combined with Baywatch
2: The classes...school is FABuuuuulous. I really love have super small classes so I can better know my teachers and classmates.
3: Campus size! It's small and quaint and comfy...I'm not a small fish in a HUGE school.
4: My friends here... they are great too.
5: Sea level. I can breathe.
6: There's more...
Obivioulsy I don't know what to do with my future. Should I stay or should I go???
I am torn...
