Much to the relief of my mother, I've cleared out again, this time to the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and I'll be writing to you from Oahu, Hawai'i for the next two years. I'm attending Hawai'i Pacific University, majoring in Diplomacy and Military Studies. Which will ideally lead to my working internationally for the government again, in a more officially ambassadorial capacity. We'll see. But in the mean time, I'm planning on posting more updates as to my various activities.
As you may have seen on my Facebook page, I recently hiked to the top of the Diamond Head Crater:
My legs were very unused to much walking and somewhat rubbery on the last few hundred stairs. Alas, in the suburbs, everything is just slightly too far away from everything else to walk. Okay, okay... I had an office job and sat around on my butt for a year. I'll admit to not going far out of the way to make time for exercise if you will. Luckily for my health, fitness is sort of a byproduct of living on a hilly, beach-filled island. And I intend to learn how to surf and SCUBA dive. There's also a hiking club at HPU and I'm taking tennis this semester. Shape, I shall uncover thee!
Classes started today! I'm taking Oceanography, War & Civilization, Writing 102, World History to 1500, Global Economics, and Tennis. Wish me luck and love. More soon...
