On the 3rd, after day 1 of the Gathering, I took a little trip to Manoa Nails. They are the best nail place. Diana and her staff are always friendly and accommodating. Josie, Diana's daughter, is one of the best designers. Always willing to give me great color ideas, all of the girls have helped me when I am stuck and can't decide. This time I decided on a dark glittery purple with hot pink smiling bats. It had been a long while since by last pedicure and boy was it relaxing. Now I just keep looking at my pretty toes!!!
Yes, slow "news" day. But my toes are pretty!!

Graduation
My LONG journey is coming to an end. Next month my suffering will end. Yes, I am finally graduating. The past 2 years have been especially hectic. For all 4 semesters I have been juggling an 18 credit course load with a bunch of part-time jobs. This quest has been a long time coming and I am excited to share it with my close friends and family. The problem?????
The powers that be have switched our graduation time, date, and place. Our campus prides itself on being able to serve the Leeward area. Yet they moved our ceremony to downtown. We have gone from an outdoor venue that accommodated hundreds of people to Hawaii Theater where we will be parceled out tickets. This means my large family will not be able to attend. With my husband, son, and parents that is already 4 tickets. What about my grandma? Aunties, uncles, cousins? In-laws? Friends? SIBLINGS? The school did not even have the courtesy to formally notify us until today. They have no good reason. While the venue might be nicer, isn't an outdoor venue with a nice lawn even better? Shouldn't we save our money and electricity by having it outdoors where there will be no air conditioning bill? They say we can receive our leis in a parking lot. Give me a break. Our traditional venue is perfect because we have a nice, very large courtyard to receive our leis.
I smell a rat. I have heard the REAL reason and am waiting to be officially told. I had originally planned on forgoing the ceremony but I think now I will go. I want to be able to tell the old bag thanks for ruining my day. She should know that I don't give a rat's ass about her or her dumbass bag of money. I will let her know that they are only doing it to kiss her sorry ass just because she wasn't able to have a family to leave her money to. Thanks a lot lady. Some royalty you are. Where is your goddamn throne! Okay, that might be too mean.
