America's Got Talent

... is what we have spent a lot of time watching over the past 24 hours =) And it seems that America doesn't, really. They don't have even a particularly talented host.

We got bus passes today! This means we can travel all over Oahu for free. Tomorrow we're spending two hours on the bus to go to Ali'i Beach Park at Waialua, which is on the North Shore - they have bigger waves up there and I am EXCITED about seeing more experienced surfers. We've seen some at Kuhio Beach here, and it's quite thrilling. I can't wait for the surfing championships in November.

Then on Saturday, the plan is currently as following: to hike up Diamond Head. Yes, Tom may get me to hike up a mountain!

Classes start on Tuesday and we can't afford the textbooks, which is a bit worrying, but hopefully we can go to the HPU library at some point tomorrow, to pick at least one up which I need to read over the weekend. The professor emailed round specifically to tell us to read the first two chapters. Although orientation yesterday was a bit facile (imagine lots of adults in their 20s being encouraged to shout out the answer to the question "what is the capital of Hawaii?" when they are currently IN that city), starting university again should hopefully be fun!
