University of Hawaii at Manoa

The campus is really big and beautiful too! I have done more walking these past few days than I have in awhile!

One of the original buildings of UH... remodeled.

*Tree Trunks*

The trees here are so so so interesting! This may seem strange... but you got to see these trees, they got ROOTS! Each one is intricate in detail and individual in style! Check them out! (more to come!)

my dorm room!

Gia helped me organize and set up my dorm room! I was so excited to make the room a home for me... and I absolutely love it. The view is spectacular... I amon the seventh floor! But from my room you can see all the athletic fields, and city skyscrapers. The window goes across the whole back wall, so it's very bright! My address is 2575 Dole Street #735b Honolulu, HI 96822

(SO COOL... me, muthie and gia hiked at Manoa Falls... and when we went to go find a bathroom, we saw this!!!!)


Hey everyone! I am here on O'ahu! It's hard to believe that I am actually here! It is absolutely breathtaking! The ocean really is turquoise and there are these really cool trees, besides the lovely palm trees! This was my very first time swimming in the ocean too, it tasted salty... I wasn't expecting that! But it was amazing!!! It was so great that my mom and Gia came! They helped me figure out things! We got to hike up to Manoa Falls and swim at Waikiki Beach and go to the Swap Meet, tons of fun in the sun!!! I miss you all SO SO SO much! I start school on Monday! I am really excited... but as always I will get the butterflies! : )
