Happy Easter!
It’s just around 6 in the morning, so I’m a little sleepy, but I felt this blog needed to be written, even if it is a short one. Therefore, please don’t mind any grammatical errors—though I now wish I had an excuse for the errors in some of my other entries. Oh well…I digress.
Some of you may ask, “But Jenna, why are you awake so early, especially when you have no classes today?” “Oh,” I would reply, sarcastically. “I’m awake because my family decided to wish me a Happy Easter back on the East Coast. Isn’t that nice of them?”
I’m pretty sure Kristen is lying in bed right now, wishing I never woke her up. I think I’ve developed some African elephant tendencies as I sounded like a herd of them in a stampede coming out of my room. My phone shrilled alive sometime late in the hour of 5:00 and I stumbled to answer it, tripping over cords and plugs in our dark room. Screaming on the phone to hang on a minute I attempted to find my room key and a pair of shoes so I could run out on the 5th deck and not disturb everyone around but. Failure. Instead, I found myself shoeless, out in the bright hallway, sitting in the stairwell (as it was wayyyy to cold and windy outside).
Anyway, today is the second day I’ve celebrated Easter—as a matter of fact it is the second day I am living April 12, 2009. You see, yesterday was April 12, 2009: Part One, if you will. I went to classes, had my meals, studying for an upcoming global test, went to the gym, and showered— everything you would do in a normal day. But then I went to sleep, woke up, and suddenly it was April 12, 2009 AGAIN! We have crossed the International Dateline.
Today marks the official day where I am no longer ahead in time of the East Coast, and subsequently home, but now I am behind in the times. Now instead of calling my family when the day is over I can call them with a new optimism for the day to come. *Sigh* It’s like time travel…on the open sea!
Well, Hawaii is next and all I have to say is: BRING ON THE SUNSHINE AND VITAMIN D! China and Japan were way too cold for my liking—it felt like being back in New York. Brr. I think two days, lying on the beach will certainly enhance my cultural and academic experience. Waikiki Beach is calling my name.
While I’m here…before I go crawl back into my bed to contemplate more theories of evolution for global studies (not) I’d like to send a message out to my family. First off, lay off the wine Grandma! You’re starting to slur your words…not a good sign. *Shakes finger* (Seriously…she doesn’t even remember my name!) Everyone else…keep that wine flowing! I’m sure Dad has enough stocked in the house to last you all…a lifetime…or at least until dinner is served. Mom—I’m not in the kitchen with you, so try not to splatter any sauces, burn yourself, or cut open any fingers. I’d like to come home with you intact. Oh and make sure you wish Anthony a Happy Birthday this week! I miss you guys like crazy! Only 3 weeks and…3 days…until I’m home. Family party then? Yes. Mom—start planning that. Just kidding…don’t you dare!
Words of thought: Lettuce, Turnip and Pea.
Goodnight guys!
