spring break!!!

Wow. So its Monday night and it just dawned on me that SPRING BREAK IS OVER! What a shocker and a disappointment. First of all, it feels as if spring break just started. Secondly, I was in Maui with my family half the time and wasn’t able to enjoy many long leisurely days with friends. And on a third note, most of the other high schools on the island have one more week!! Ah, what I really am trying to say is "I NEED ANOTHER BREAK!" (If my case of senioritis wasn’t bad enough before break, I don’t know how ill endure the next couple of weeks.)
Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this past week. It was refreshing to say the least. I had a chance to see old faces and chill with people who I haven’t been able to hang out with as much. On Saturday I was reunited with some of my favorite dance team alums at our traditional buca de beppo hang out. It was nice to play catch up and reminisce on our many experiences (some hilarious and some awkward) with charming buca waiters. But that was cut short as I headed off to Maui.
On Wednesday morning I flew to Maui with my mom and younger brother. Normally family vacations are rather dull. But it surprises me to say that I actually enjoyed this past trip. We stayed in Maui for three nights at three different hotels (we couldn’t find one hotel vacant for three days). During the four days we were there we drove up to Haleakala, found my prom dress, went down at least a dozen waterslides a day and just...relaxed, chilled out and enjoyed the beauty of Maui. Maui was a miracle because for four days there were no arguments, just smiles. Hah then it was back to Oahu and normal family life soon resumed.
Although for Iolani students, and us Punahou students, spring break was cut short, overall I had a blast. Especially since the best was saved for last. On Sunday, my friend Chris and I decided to throw a last hurrah bbq at my pool (which was pretty much for us since all our friends who came had at least another week of break.) After playing our self made Jacuzzi marshmallow game, having a spontaneous egg fight and howling out Biz Markie’s Just a Friend at the top of our lungs, I think its safe to say that the six of us had a great time. It’s been a while since we’ve all hung out like that. The theme of this spring break definitely seems to be reuniting old friends. It’s been a breath of fresh air. It kind of reminds of song I was taught in elementary. Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver but the others gold.
Yup, that was my spring break. shoootz
