Clean Hands -- Clean Feet

Try to find a home with tile or wood flooring. Carpeting gets moldy. I bought this awesome rug at ROSS for $6 so that I can kneel comfortably as I say my prayers...and also to wipe any remaining sand off my feet before bed.

Moving to an island can be exciting and intimidating at the same time. Although I'd visited Hawaii before--I wasn't sure how I'd survive without my goose feather comforter, my amazingly comfortable and highly coveted bed, and especially my favorite heels. I hate to say it, but I had become one of those high-maintenance people who needed the best of the best to feel satisfied with life. I tried to keep up with spoiled roommates and friends, and amusingly failed. I was told that I would go stir crazy among several other biased statements and assumptions. For instance; "You will hate the bugs!" "You will want to get off the island." "You wont last long." "You might get sick" "You might get taken" "You might get robbed" "You might die in a hurricane" "You might blah blah buh blah."

While I appreciated every warning and knew my friends were only looking out for me--I needed to find out for myself.

I've never made a better decision in my life. If you have the opportunity to come to Hawaii as a student-- COME!
