So here I am come around again. Hawaii is still as good as ever. Right now I'm taking care of my laundry. You wouldn't believe just how odd it is for me to be taking care of my own stuff like that now. I'm doing rather well. My first goof up was today, when I left my keys in my dorm room and had to wait for about an hour for my suite mate to come around and let me in through the bathroom. Lol. Well, now I'll make a point not to do that, haha.

It never fails. The first instant I start liking one thing about Kanye West's music, he goes and does something stupid. I hope he's happy with himself.

I'm doing well in my writing class. I know that should come as a surprise, since I am kind of a writer and everything. But this is not a fiction writing class, but a non fiction one. But already the teacher likes me, because I happened to get a bit of contact from a certain author about a certain book of his I was reading. She and I talked about that over lunch, and I explained that even though I was dissatisfied with the book, I had learned something from this, about the value of civil discourse, the willingness to keep an open mind and admit that someone has valid points even when they oppose you, and on carefully wording things so that they mean what you mean to say. She liked this, because she said that these things show up even in essay writing and whatnot, so they would be useful.

Also, she hooked me up with the email of someone who's putting together a writing group on Oahu. This is very good. I sent them an email, but I have not heard a response yet. *crosses fingers*

Word of the day: Trock. Trock is short for Time Lord Rock. This is similar to something called Wizard Rock that has sprung up in recent years, where bands make songs about Harry Potter. Time Lord Rock, on the other hand, is where bands make songs about Doctor Who. Yes, I know, I am a nerd for knowing this. Some of it isn't half bad. "Exterminate Regenerate" by Chameleon Circuit is really catchy, and could have been really popular if it wasn't so nerdy. "The Sound of Drums" by Quantum Locked is all right, kind of weak in the middle, but I like it.

Tomorrow will hopefully be quiet, and I shall write many things. Until then, good night.
