I have been so busy this past week, I’m totally worn out!
The game night was a great success! I met so many people,
but kinda forgot most of their names! There was a dance along with the games,
and well, I felt so white dancing next to the Polynesians! Haha! That’s a
first! When I got back to my dorm I finally met my roomie! Her name is Megan,
and she lives in Japan, but she is American. She didn’t stay in the dorm so I was
all alone that night. Kinda sad, huh?
On Wednesday morning I went on a beautifully rainy run! Once
I was all done getting ready I headed to breakfast with my new friend Sariah.
Then it was a campus tour, and I still have no clue where anything is! Then we
had Student Life and One Stop. We had to get all those things done in order to get
our ID. Well, we needed one more thing from One Stop, but the line was so LONG we decided to got to lunch and come back.
That was a not so good idea…One Stop closed at 1! So we had to wait till
Thursday to get it! After lunch, Mommy, Daddy, and I went down to Honolulu to
get some things from Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club. That night, a group of people I met and I went to the talent show, JUST TO WATCH….or so I thought! 15ish minutes into
watching it, they called my name! At first it was just my first name, and I
thought ‘Oh someone else has my name, cool!’ Then they said, “Is Robyn Perez
here?” I just sat there really shocked while all the people I came with stared
at me! ‘Who in the world had signed me up?!’ was running through my mind! I
hadn’t really played the uke or sang in forever! So I walked right up to the
sign-up desk and asked who signed me up.
To my surprise, but I should’ve guessed, my dad signed me up online! I really
didn’t want to perform at all. I had nothing prepared and didn’t practice any!
Some girl literally begged me to sing, saying I’d probably be the best, haha.
So I made a quick decision and ran back to my Hale, grabbed my uke, ran through
Price Tag real fast, and ran back to the talent show. I told them I’d sing and
I ended up being the next one to go up! I had no time to really think about
what I was doing, but that was probably good! I got up on stage, explained what
my dad did, and then just sang. According to people I did really good, but I
messed up so much! But I have to thank Daddy for signing me up, because I
wouldn’t have signed up on my own! After the talent show, I went to Temple beach with a group. It
was so beautiful! There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, you could see all the stars,
and the moon reflected on the ocean! Behind me was the temple, and well of
course that was breath taking! When I got back to my Hale, I passed out so
fast!
Thursday was pretty much a free day. I did get my ID though!
After lunch, I went to the beach with a few people. At first it was kind of
cold, but after you’re in, it feels great! We stayed there for a long while and
we all were exhausted and hungry when we finally decided to walk back! We all got lunch and then headed back to my
Hale to watch a movie. Once the movie was done, we got dinner and went to
support the women’s volleyball team, and we won! We walked back to our hales and passed
out, like usual!
Friday was our official BYUH welcome and the most exhausting
day! They served us a light breakfast and then we had our welcome in the McKay
auditorium. I left early with a few guys to workout, since we wouldn’t have any
other time to do it. It was a good workout, and I'm definitely feeling sore! Then, at 12, we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center. It
was so cool! Each Pacific Island had there own area and activity or show. At
around 5 we had a big, yummy dinner, and a few clubs either sang or danced. Then, we walked back to the PCC to watch the night show! The night show
was so so so cool! I was so tired and had a bit of a hard time keeping my eyes
open! However, once the guys spinning fire came out, I was up! There was a
party/dance that night but half of the new students were to tired to even go. I
got into my room and literally passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow!
I spent all Saturday with my parents, since it was their
last day in Hawaii. We went back down to Honolulu, to buy more stuff…mainly
socks! I know, how could I forget socks? Well, I did! We stopped at some food
place on the side of the road for chicken, and it was really good! Then, we
stopped at another truck to get cold coconut juice straight from the coconut! When
we finally got to Honolulu, we shopped, and headed back to La’ie. Mom and dad
stopped to get some Mexican good Tamales, and I’m still craving them! Finally
the dreaded time came to say goodbye… That was so hard! I wasn’t really with
them all the time, but I knew they were here. So yeah, I was a bit miserable
for the rest of the night, but some good people helped me out by inviting me to
do stuff. Once again, I passed out that night.
Sunday. It’s a good day, but I have church at 8 o’clock!!
The cafeteria doesn’t even open until 11, so I’m literally starving during church!
Over all church was good, lunch was delicious, and my Sunday nap was much
needed! When I woke up, I Skyped with Mommy and Daddy! Yay! I wasn't too hungry for dinner, so I just ate
