lost in hawaii

I think I am the only person in the world who could get lost for over 5 hours in Hawai'i, which is not that big. So this weekend has been kind of crazy...

We have lots of new furniture and I started my Master's program at the University of Hawai'i - Manoa. I am VERY excited about it!

While I was at Institute and had no idea where I was living, I called and reserved my copy of the 7th Harry Potter book at the Ala Moana Shopping Center (there were only two options in Honolulu). Yesterday, while I was in class at UH - Manoa, I mapquested it and found that it was only about two and a half miles away! I went there, and though the mall was amazing-I can't wait to go back and shop-didn't allow myself to be distracted. I got my copy (unfortunately since I had been lost, I didn't get to go on Friday at midnight) and came back to Kaneohe. I'm still reading it, and it's sooooooooooooooo good. It's like the end of an era; I can't believe it's over. I have about four hundred pages left.

First day of work at Wheeler = Wednesday!

Hi John!
I know, everything is happening really fast. As a part of getting certified in Hawai'i, we have to be enrolled in some type of post-baccalaureate program. All of us special ed teachers are going for the Master's in Special Education. It's really interesting! And the weather's gorgeous :-)
