Hey!
Hey!
How's it going?
Pretty good. Today is just a lazy Saturday for me. How are you?
I'm good, just doing hw ahead of time
Ooh nice! I need to get into the habit of doing that!
Hahahaha it's not necessarily a habit, it's just that I'm bored But also grateful that midterms are over! hallejuah
Oh gotcha! Yeah me too, I had three last week and it was stressful Im pretty sure I aged a few years
I had three this week and I took em all a day after the other hahaha Same though, what classes for you?
Wow good for you! Mine were American Heritage, Survey of Islam and Judaism, and Effective Study Skills I guess the Study Skills one wasn't so bad
Oh nice those last 2 classes sound hard ngl hahaha
Yeah, but the Judaism/Islam one is super interesting and eye-opening. What classes were yours for?
American Heritage, Chemistry and Calculus That class sounds really interesting
Oh dang! Those are all killer classes! Whats your major?
Biology
Yeah It is, I love studying other cultures and people
What about yours?
Wow, Thats cool! Im studying Linguistics.
See, that's cool too! I'm pretty sure you're the second person I've talked to that is studying Linguistics
Thanks! Just love languages
That's so cool What other languages do you know?
Whats your plan with biology? Are you wanting to go to medical school?
Yeah, I plan to go to med school...hopefully hahaha
Just Russian and I know some Spanish. But I want to learn a lot of languages! cool, so like a doctor?
Hahaha that is impressive, what do you hope to do with your major? And yes, that's the plan haha
I admire that! Thats a good question... Im not really sure, but Recently I've felt a connection to the Middle Eastern and Mediterranean people though, and I feel like I should do something with that area of the world
Dang that sounds so cool I wish my plans sounded that cool hahaha
Yeah but yours are about helping other people physically! Im just a language nerd
Hahah well learning other languages are cool too So where are you from?
Thanks. Im actually from Provo what about you?
That's cool! I'm from Hawaii
Awesome! Do you have any Hawaiian or Asian ancestors?
Haha yeah I do It's pretty cool
Thats so cool! Thats not a common heritage! Do you know any Hawaiian?
Hahaha no, I only know like basic stuff that everyone else knows of
Oh well, ha ha! What Island are you from?
Oahu
Ok thats where Laie and that stuff is right?
Hahaha yep I lived like a 7-minute drive away from Laie
Cool! Have you been in Provo long then?
Well, I came like the last week of August and it was my first time in Utah so probs not that long? idk ahhahaah
Wow, well welcome then! How do you like Provo so far? (you can be honest)
ngl it's way different from Hawaii hahaha Not used to seeing snow on the mountains or waking up to the cold
Haha yeah I bet! Yeah, have you ever really been in the snow before?
Well, I've been to Lake Tahoe a couple of times in the snow But I haven't actually lived in snow
Ok gotcha, well I hope you like it! How does the "Provo culture" compare to what you are used to? A lot of people complain about it but its what I've always grown up with, so I don't really know the difference
Well for one, there are a lot more white people than Polynesians up here haha
Ha ha yeah, I know what you mean! In High school I would hang out with the polys a lot and they were so much more upbeat and fun to be with!
Haha yeah also, everything here is so nice hahaha
What do you mean, like nicer quality?
haha yeah exactly
yeah, I guess  thats true.
And everything here is so close
Yeah I do understand that one! Its nice!
Like back home, to get to Costco or Walmart, we had to drive like an hour and a half if traffic was good
On the islands you have to usually drive all the way around instr=ead of going there in a straight line right?
yeah hahahaha and there a ton of potholes
darn, so I guess there are some downsides to paradise :)
Hahaha most definitely I just love how everyone calls Hawaii "paradise"
Haha yeah well do you think its more paradisiacal than Utah?
Honestly, I thought Utah was more paradisiacal when I first got here
Haha thats interesting! I don't think Ive ever heard anybody say that before! Most people just like to hate on Provo and on Utah!!
Well, everything is close and looks beautiful Only problem is that there's no beach
Haha yeah that is the downside, but there is a small beach at Utah lake... Its kinda nasty though....
hahaha yeah that's what I've heard
Sometimes my friends and I go out into the lake with pitchforks and catch Carp Its really shallow and muddy and nasty, and those fish are a pest
hahahaha that'd be a sketchy place to swim haha
Haha yeah! So how does our "white utah food" compare to food from your home?
Well, I live in Helaman and the only good thing they have is pasta Hahaha so I've had pasta everyday since I've gotten here which is not bad cuz I love pasta but I also miss the food from back home
Haha! Darn! It must be good pasta though! I bet, what kind of stuff did you eat on a normal day back home?
Well, I had all sorts of things haha Like grilled steak, chicken stir fry, chicken curry, kalua pork with long rice
I love Polynesian barbecue!
lol
you're making me hungry
hahaha dude I am hungry hahaha
Haha actually I think i'm gonna go eat ring now
haha same
