It has been awhile since I have posted and I'm bummed about it! There just hasn't really been anything good to say lately. I have taken on the challenge of remaining positive, but I'm just about ready to quit! The sun doesn't even shine anymore! It's all cloudy and rainy. I wish the leaves would turn gold and red and brown and fall off so I could jump in them then proceed to get bundled up in a cute grey jacket with white worn out mittens and wait in line at a big corn maze freezing my bum off while I drink steaming apple cider from a foam cup. I can't explain how amazing that sounds right now!
I went to the Haunted Lagoon at the Polynesian Cultural Center and they were selling hot chocolate...except it was probably 78 degrees. Not the same at all! (I didn't get any.) But it was a really cool event that they did. It was a haunted canoe ride! Because it was family oriented, it wasn't too scary, but some parts were pretty terrifying. They had people in the water swim up to the boat so you couldn't see them until they were in your face. And the islander girls have suuuuper long dark hair so they put it over their faces and wear white and crawl really fast toward you in the water and it's ridiculous. They are so scary. It's like The Ring in real life!
Oh! And I got my first college job :) I work for BYUH Catering. I worked Saturday for a Tongan buffet and that was a good first day. They never really taught me anything so I was just sort of thrown in. A buffet is a good place to start, though. But on Saturday there is an international etiquette dinner with about 350 people and only 15 caterers. I am terrified! It isn't a buffet so I have to carry the huge trays with tons of plates on them. Gah! I have never done that before, so if I fail, it will be in front of so many important people. I wish I got time to practice before that, but I don't unfortunately. They just hired a bunch of people to work this even this weekend and didn't teach us how to do it. Welcome to Hawaii, the land without planning or sense of time. Oh well!
I'm just missing home a lot right now. I miss being around people that I know I am not disappointing. People who know exactly what I am capable of without me having to prove myself or pretend I enjoy something I really don't. It will be so nice to go home in December. I can't wait.
