Over the summer when I received the packet for the trip to
Hawaii, I automatically knew that I wanted to go. There
wasn't even a question in my mind about whether or not I
should go on the trip. What student wouldn't want to go to
Hawaii and get credits for it? Not only will I be allowed to
sit on the gorgeous beaches, but I will also be able to
learn about the culture, environment, and much more. Like
everyone else that is going on the trip, I can't wait to
get out of the cold. It is currently 27 degrees in West
Hartford; today in Hawaii it is 79 degrees. In my opinion 79
degree weather is perfect. I have been counting down the
days to our departure. Every day I get more and more
excited, but stressed out at the same time. I have so much
to do before we leave. I have two more finals, and a paper
due this week. I am trying to stay motivated, but it is hard
when all that I can think about is the trip. I also am
worrying about packing. Whenever I travel somewhere, I
always forget something essential like a toothbrush. This
will also be the first time that I am taking a trip without
my family. I am the type of person that gets lost all the
time. I sometimes still feel like a freshman because I walk
into a wrong classroom, or building. If someone on the trip
gets lost in the airport and never actually makes it on the
plane, it is going to be me. I am so excited to get to know
the people that are going on the trip. It is going to be a
unforgettable experience for everyone!

Amanda,
I felt the same way! When I too received the package in the mail to go on the Hawaii trip, there was no doubt that I wanted to go either. It's a great opportunity to sightsee, learn, relax and most importantly receive three credits. I agree- the weather here the last few weeks has been pretty crazy. I know I can't wait to go to an Island where the weather will be beautiful with very little rain. With just a few finals left before break starts, I agree its important to keep your focus because in a couple weeks we will all be introduced to an experience of a lifetime.

I can’t agree more with Amanda. All these finals and this stress from school and work, makes me anxious for Hawaii. This is one in a lifetime experience and I can’t wait until January 1st 2010. Hawaii is the best way to start off the New Year. And Amanda, I don’t think should worry about getting lost or missing the plane. You’ll be fine. Experiences like this is all about feeling your independence and expanding your knowledge. We are going to have so much fun that I am sure we’ll want to stay longer. See yall in 17 days
