Updates!

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been a good blogger. Ever since I freed myself of facebook (almost a year ago) I'm no longer used to getting on the computer all the time and uploading pictures and what not. I have lots and lots of pictures to show by the way, but I don't want to clutter my page. But whatever. Anyway, let's see a lot has been going on. I finally got to volunteer with Habitat. That was really, really fun. I got reacquainted with the power saw. Haha, I love using that thing! I needed Sarah there to assist me;) But it was a great experience, of course, and I'll try to do it more frequently during my time here. 

I've also been getting involved with all the hair and makeup opportunities out here. I actually just got back from styling hair for a ballet production of Peter Pan. We styled the hair in really fun ways for the girls who were playing the lost boys and ragamuffins and stuff like that. I've been meeting a lot of great people in the industry that I know will help me get ahead and gain more experience. It's helping me get a better idea of what I enjoy doing the most. There are so many options with cosmetology, so I am starting to figure out what I want to specialize in. 

In other news, my roommate for the summer went back home to Indiana:( How sad! She was an awesome roomie and I will miss her. Luckily Molley gets here in a couple of days to keep me company before I move in with a new set of roommates. I'm sooo excited! YAY! There's so much to do on this island and so much to see, and I know we will have a splendid time together. It will be really nice to see a familiar face. 

I finally started surfing! The first time I went, it was all good. The second time I went...a little more difficult. Mainly because I had a terrible board, but also because the waves were HUGE! They were way out of my league, and I was way in over my head (literally). If it wasn't for God, I probably would have drowned. Isn't that awful? Ahaha, I had too many close calls. I guess that's not the best thing to tell you guys, but don't worry about me, I've learned my lesson, sort of. I can't help but act as if I'm a pro. I do that with pretty much everything. (Especially skiing, LOL!) But it's so fun and such a good workout. If I could surf everyday, I would. And I'd be in such good shape! Oh well. That's all for now with the updates.
