i am excited to finish not only my paper for my masters class but a great weekend that could have gone the other way around but didn't. I postponed my sandbar trip until the time that friends of mine are going (preferably my 23rd b-day).

I also climbed Koko Head for the first time since i can remember. It was brutal but worth the trip. I was sore for days. It is tough to prepare for a hike when not in shape. I learned a great lesson to be prepared and the end of the journey is most rewarding when with a friend.

I was able to do the usual when i go out & about: take advantage of a good opportunity. The post-hike included an industry event that i have business going to even after a job fair early that morning. Many friends i chilled with & new ones made that day. I felt so far yet so close during my hiatus from working but i am that much closer to getting a rewarding job that i can definitely enjoy after working for nearly 2 years @ Sears.

Also, i took advantage of other free events that was great due to the heavy promotion and seeing the people on the scene more than i am. The first involved an anniversary and booze. The second was a fundraiser, where i enjoyed myself and had a good time. The post-fundrasier was @ the Shack, where Natural Vibes killed it like they usually do before the bus ride and short cab home.

A family reunion on sunday for my sister's 21st b-day and a north shore trip monday completed my weekend. The downside was i had a paper to finish today which i completed. At least I got it done despite feeling rushed. I had difficulty in coming up with ways to put it together. My next project, my final exam for my thursday class. I have a good friend who runs a shop that I was reluctant to buy from @ first but i stop by whenever I'm around near my former workplace. Wanna guess who i will focus on my paper? Stay tuned. Have to prepare better the next time. Time for rest & a real day off. Peace.
