Living in Hawaii

Who would have thought I would be living in Hawaii for two years? I would never have imagined myself here. Of course, I wouldn't have imagined myself in England or Australia either. Traveling is great. You can learn so much stuff by visiting other cultures, things you'd never learn in a classroom.

I've been here for a year now; my anniversary was the 10th of August. Only two more semesters and then I'll be done with my Master's in Library Sciences at the University of Hawaii-Manoa. I've made a lot of new friends here but I've meet up with some long-lost friends as well. One was a missionary friend back in Cordoba, Argentina in 1999, Josh Silva. The other was a friend from childhood, Trisha Ure. Talk about a small world...

So, people ask me what "Library Science" is. Here's my answer: It's a fancy way of making librarians look more important. Really, my fascination with books slowly took me to this degree. I am mostly happy with it. I plan to go into academic libraries, meaning a University library (of course, the Library of Congress would be really cool, too). That way, I can get any other master's or doctorate degrees I want for free. Plus, I'll be working a job that starts around $40,000-45,000/year, slowly paying off school loans.

Okay, so why did I title this the "(Mis)Adventures"? Well, because I seem to have a lot of really weird/funny things happen to me. I thought, "What a great place to write about it and put up pictures!" It also saves time on sending out lots of emails. So, please make comments on anything you want. I am going to call this good for now. My first misadventure will come shortly.
