Swinging on a Star

Live Big Band music, dancing, chocolate fountain, and great friends. At the end of First Term our ball was a 40's theme. It was a lot of fun. I was with great friends and I even learned how some different dances. I sometimes think I was born in the wrong era. 40's music is my favorite to dance too. Maybe it is the fact that you can actually dance to it. It was a fun filled evening.

Valley of the Temples

 This term has been crazy and I decided to take a break from studying Arbinger and doing my Intercultural Communications class. Actually on the 30 minute ride to the Valley of the Temples I practiced giving the Arbinger Seminar to Catherine and Marc. I have been in Hawaii for over three years and I have never been to Valley of the Temples. It was great to have a break from my room and to see something that I haven't seen before. It was such a beautiful sight. It was built over a 100 years ago without the use of nails. They also had this bell that you could ring. It was great!


They had all of these signs posted everywhere warning about peacocks and to be careful not to let you children get too close. I think as a child I would be traumatized for life if I got attacked by a peacock.
We were allowed to go into the temple to spend some time. You could really feel the peace and quiet. It was nice.


What a great day! It was fun spending time with Marc and Catherine and getting to see such a beautiful place.
