Okay, so I know that this is cutting it really close to the midnight hour, but I had to do a lot today. Leaving for college tomorrow. Sad days. But it's all right. So close to it being over.
I got a confirmation that I might actually be able to walk with my class. *crosses fingers* I'm not going to tell my parents yet until it's definite. I'm so excited.
I went to the other side of the island today to shop. They thought that I was a tourist. I think it was because of the cardigan that I was wearing. And the fact that I was wearing a long pair of jeans... Hmmm. Oh well, it brought a smile to my face.
A lot of people don't really appreciate all of the tourists on our island. I can't really agree with them. First of all, they are the reason my dad has a job. I can't be mad at that.
BUT ALSO:
They help to remind me of how beautiful our island is. I don't care that they drive slow to look at the sunsets or the trees or the whales. We take it for granted a lot, and when I see a bunch of people parked on the beach taking pictures with the beach and sun to their backs wearing their aloha print shirts and dresses, I remember.
There was a woman in church today who moved here from Paradise, California. This is how she introduced herself. "I've been on this island for five days. I moved here from Paradise, California where they only think it is." I laughed.
I'm going to miss the sun when I'm back on the mainland. Goodbye tan lines. Hello pale, sickly look.
Cause for a smile:
I got to see a sunset for the first time in a really long time. Luckily for me I wasn't the one driving. I would provide pictures, but my cell phone is a kind of out of commission, so until then, just imagine how beautiful a sunset in Hawaii is.
I guess that I should get this posted before midnight.
And so I must depart...
