Pillbox, a wild pig, and a 3-day trek.

Last week Seth and I hiked up to the pillboxes in Lanikai. We do this hike a lot because it is so easy and has such a gorgeous view. Take a look:

If you look closely, you can see Seth on the hill off to the right.

There were these three guys that were up there flying RC gliders. It was pretty cool to watch and they were more than happy to tell us all about them. They were saying that they like to have glider flights in the air! Way cool. I think my dad would die to go hang out with them.

On another note, I had a particularly eventful day today. I was working in the science stockroom today in the McKay buildings, and when I was walking out the door to move some boxes, a wild pig ran right in front of me........yes.... a WILD PIG!!

I was so freaked out that I just froze. That has to be one of the most random things that I have ever seen. Anyway, so I was the only one around at the time. The pig ran into the bushes outside of one of the classrooms, so I followed it to see what it was doing. It was just lying in the bushes. I saw one of my friends walking by so I called her over and we just stared at this pig just chilling! I snapped a quick picture with my phone, which I wish I could figure out how to download onto here. So anyway, we called a couple of professors over, and they just ended up scaring the pig to run further into the McKay buildings and freak out a few more students and then ran towards the Hales. One guy kept asking who had rope---he wanted to catch it to eat! Ok, so being a pre-vet student, I had to stop that so I lied and told him we didn't have any rope in the stockroom.... :). I wonder if he was really serious.

I hope the pig got away safely.

So random.

And the last thing ....I'm heading off to the big island tomorrow night for a 3-day trek with my BIO204 class. We're studying the geology at the Volcano National Park and we're supposed to be hiking around 18 miles a day. Its supposed to storm over there all week, so this could end up being a very very very very long weekend. We will see! I hope the weather is good.

Peace out!

Voila.

My cupcake masterpiece.


Pleasing to the eye AND the stomach.

Happy Birthday Ashley!

Soccer violence!

My mom sent me this clip of the BYU women's soccer team vs. New Mexico. I've never seen someone go so nuts in a women's soccer game! Downright dirty.





Well BYU ended up winning 1-0 anyway. Isn't she CRAZY? And what kind of ref lets this go on in a game??? That girl should get kicked out for the season! Talk about no class...

These are the pictures from my photoshoot with my incredibly talented friend LeeYen!


The weather started out well..

By the way, we ended up losing these baloons---they flew away with LeeYen's keys attached to them! Thankfully she had spare ones!

And then it started to rain.....and I mean RAIN... like storming rain. LeeYen had to use her reflector as a shield for all of us. But we got wet anyway. And it was FUN!

Today's laugh

Today I came across this video at UrbanBulldog:



Sooooo cute! It made me miss my fatty. When he was a puppy, we found him like this one night:

Is this a bulldog thing? A puppy thing? Whatever it is, it makes me want another puppy.
