Maaaaan school sucks! Grindin it out.....1 more month of college!

Back from Spring Break. Feels weird to be dropped right back into the school routine after being on the Big Island with Noa, family, and friends.

Had a phenomenal time on BI. Our Big Island Roots club volleyball team took third place in the Haili tournament. Our team had a great time competing together. I played libero, not really used to that position anymore, in fact its kind of boring compared to hitting!

Anyways, funs over and its back to school....

that means Thesis. O joy.

Only one more month of school till I graduate! yikes!
