Welcome Back To Hawaii!!

Hey Everybody,

On Wednesday(1/14) everybody started coming back to HPU. I still had class on Wednesday and Friday. But it was wonderful having people around again. I still had class that Wednesday and Friday. The student group RAC had events planned during that weekend for everyone to enjoy. We went to the dollar movie on Thursday and after the movie Jon got back. I was supposed to have my last class for the winter term on Friday but due to high winds my professor cancelled class. On Saturday we went to Kualoa Ranch and took their movie tour which was a lot of fun. Here's a picture of the whole HPU group in front of the log that they filmed with in Jurassic Park.

Here's another picture of me in front of one of the bunkers that they filmed in Pearl Harbor. I still have to watch that movie to see exactly what part it was used in but interesting fact when the Japanese planes are flying towards Pearl Harbor on the morning of Dec. 7th they are actually flying the opposite way from the real Pearl Harbor.
On Sunday we had a beach BBQ at Ala Moana Beach Park which has really great views of Diamond Head. We had hot dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers and smores at the BBQ. Here's a fun picture of me with Diamond Head in the background.

Also that first week of spring semester we had a dinner & a game (1/22). We went to Cheeseburger Waikiki and to the men's basketball game against Chaminade. It was also the unveiling of the new athletics logo and we all got free t-shirts. Here's a picture from the game and I look like I'm going to eat my basketball but I was having fun. From front to back it's Alex, Tami, Jon and well you know the crazy one at the end.

We've all been super busy with our classes but we still find time to have fun. We've been hanging out in Alex's room a lot and last Friday night (1/30) we watched a movie and then took turns playing songs on our computers. It was so much fun. Our plan was not to stay up too late because Alex and Addison were going on a hike the next morning with there hall and they had to get up super early but we didn't leave their room until almost 1 am. Here's a picture from that crazy night. So left to right is Tami, who is sitting on the floor with her back to the camera, Addison, who is on the ladder, Me, and Jon, who was also sitting on the floor.
So that's all the stuff that has been happening since everyone got back. I'm sorry it took me so long to get this up but I've been really busy and I finally got the pictures from my friends so I could put them up. I'll write again very soon since we are going to another dinner and a game on the 18th. Sending you warm wishes and aloha kisses. Jessica :)
