The End.

Winter semester is finally over. Can I just say that I am excited by that??? I was talking some really hard classes and not enough education classes for my liking! However, my schedule for summer semester is looking pretty good at the moment, which makes me really excited. During the last few days, I was able to get in some solid beach time which was really nice!! Every time I go to the beach, I text my sister Ashley a picture of me and the beach and her responses have slowly turned from "that is really cool" or "that looks really pretty" to "I think you should be studying" or "the beach...again???" or "I am so jealous!!" It makes me laugh every single time she comes up with some new response.

To help celebrate the end of the semester, my roommates and I had a big adventure. We started off with some celebratory Martinelli's on Friday afternoon. It was so delicious!! Then Mads, Mckayli, Lindsay, and I went down to Haleiwa. We ate at this delicious sandwich place and had some amazing acai bowls. Then we headed back up to Sunset Beach. Sunset really is my favorite beach of all time. I love how the water is always so clear so you can see the bottom of the ocean, no matter how far you are out. And the sand is amazing. I have this problem when I go to the beach. I have no idea why, but I always have so much sand on me by the time I leave. No one else can be covered in sand, but somehow I manage to bring lots of the beach with me without fail. I really like Sunset sand because it does not stick very long. It comes off very easily and when you have a lot on you, that is a major plus.

After laying out on the beach for a few hours, we walked down to Ted's bakery for some delicious Chocolate Haupia pie. It was so yummy after a long day in the sun. Then we headed back to Sunset and all our roommates met up with us. All nine of us hung out on Sunset beach (and in the water) to watch the sunset. It was really cool and I got to mark something off my leap list. On Saturday morning, a few of us roommates got up, walked down to the end of Laie Point and watched the sunrise (once again, another thing checked off my leap list!!!). It was a really cool experience and some great bonding right before everyone left.
