After somehow staying healthy in a house full of sick birds for two whole weeks, I succumbed to the common cold the DAY BEFORE my flight for Hawaii. Tragic, but somehow my cold symptoms were nearly non-existent during my 16 hour flight. Thank goodness, although it worsened once I arrived in Hawaii.
I've been staying at my grandparents house for two days now. My mom won't let me come home with her until my cold symptoms subside, so I've basically been quarantined on a mountain in Aiea. It isn't half bad though. Being at my Grandparent's house with nothing to worry about and nothing really to do reminds me of my childhood summers. I have to find ways to occupy myself, which means exploring my backyard, reading, helping my grandparents in the yard, etc. I'd like to think of my Grandparent's house as a sort of retreat with private catering (courtesy of my grandma), beautiful views, and that perfect leisurely atmosphere needed to recover after a grueling week of finals. Haha alright who am I kidding, more like recover from going out every night after I turned 21...probably the reason I'm sick in the first place. I'll be leaving Aiea tomorrow, but I'll probably be back to enjoy the view and "dilly dally" (as my mom calls my aimless wandering) around the house.

I really like plumerias...can you tell?
Suriname cherries...very juicy with a sweet floral taste! the darker the color, the sweeter the taste
Not normally a puzzle person so this 100 piece was challenging enough...also what on earth is going on in this picture?! #weirdjapanesethings
Anddd more weird Japanese things...apparently it's a game for kids to teach them how to use chopsticks?
