College life

So this coming week holds my first tests and I'm pretty sure next week I have a test in each class and a paper due. And yet it is 10:26 right now and I haven't started any homework. I finally got my bike so I can get to lacrosse practices (cuz I made the team) and then it was Hi'ilei's birthday so of course we had to do something...and oh did we do something. 

Back home we had this tradition of kidnapping people on their birthday and bringing them to some place fun. So, why not continue it in college? Only we kinda vamped it up a little. We had everything planned out perfectly but Hi'ilei decided to leave FHE early so we had to improvise just a little. So Hoku (my roommate) and I had the boys in our group sing to her while we came from around the back to take her down, literally take her down. 

We may have frightened some innocent bystanders but all is fun and games when kidnapping. After kidnapping her and physically carrying her to the car, which was an adventure of its of own, we brought her to sonic. May not seem like the greatest birthday adventure but Hawai'i doesn't have sonics and she's been dying to go. 

We may not have many friends outside of our little Polynesian and polypockets (aka wannabes) group but tonight everyone wanted to be friends with us. No lie. I mean seriously how cool do we look (this may be a rhetorical question)? And I'd like to show the oddeness of BYU. While carrying her a pretty long distance we passed a court of basketball players and I don't think anyone even flinched at the odd scene before them. Gotta love BYU. Here is the final product of our struggle to get Hi'ilei into the car. And tests?? What are those?

My best friend finally came back to me!

So I realized I haven't really posted in a while. I'd like to say that is because I've been too busy doing my homework, but I live bythe honor code now and that would be a serious violation. I've been adapting to my little room, amazing roommate, homework load, and lacrosse. I love my room and my roommate and I've thankfully found friends just as crazy as me already. When it isn't 12:30 in the morning I'll post with pictures of my room, roommate, and friends (ya I have proof they actually exist). 

But one of my greatest distractions has been the ever impending release date of my best friend, yes my brother. I flew home on the 11th around 7:50 to then drag my heavy bags (full of homework I didn't ever really touch) to sit and wait 2 and a half hours for his plane to come in. Thankfully he was 45 minutes early. I sat watching a bunch of New Yorkers come off the plane while ringing my hands to see him. I started to fear my whole "Andrew coming home isn't really real" theory was true. Don't worry it was just that he was the SECOND to last person off the plane. But he did finally get off the plane and I pretty much attacked him and the airline ladies (who had previously looked at like me like I was a weirdo as I was the only one sitting in the terminal...really the only person sitting in that whole section of the airport) looked at us with the biggest smile ever. We then quickly proceeded towards the exit, strict orders from my mom. 

I got to spend a fun weekend with him before having to come back to reality and more waiting. Thankfully he plans on coming back to me in like a week or so, but here are some pictures of our fun weekend. 

Berne children, not in order for some reason. Do we look alike?

Possibly one of the cutest pictures. Also Jenelle with her new favorite person to be with : (

European maybe? 

Hasn't changed much to me, still the same old dork I knew two years ago. Maybe, the whole tighter clothes is new or the not smiling in pictures, but whatever he does doesn't matter because he is doing it with us now.
