One Crazy Week

Liberty — Sat, 03 May 2008 08:30:00 +0000

On Sunday, my sister and I were on the bus, on our way to the join HPU-HCC band concert at McKinley High School. (My sister’s boyfriend plays drums for the HCC band.) We get word from him that his dad was having a heart attack. By the time we get to Tripler Hospital, he had passed away. What was supposed to be a day of music appreciation, joy, and celebration turned into a day of shock, grief, and sorrow. It’s times like these when you realize how fragile life really is.

This was my last week of classes, so final projects and such were due. Glad to get those out of the way. Next week is finals week, but fortunately I don’t have any finals to take. I do have to go to class on Monday for my advertising class, though. I also have to turn in my final project for photography: five prints of our best photos. I uploaded them here, actually. Let me know what you think. I have six uploaded because I can’t decide which one I should eliminate. I’ll probably just print all six and turn those in. These prints make up half of my grade—can you believe it? I think they’re among my best and I hope my professor agrees.

I have to wake up at 5:30 a.m. tomorrow to head over to Kahala Mall for my Apple training… so it’s off to bed for me. Here’s a video that may cheer you up:

More Bay Area Action!

I finally got around to uploading my San Francisco photos on my Flickr website, so check ‘em out!

Also, turns out I’m heading back to the Bay Area! Apparently, Apple sends one Genius and one Creative from each store for training at their headquarters (a.k.a. the mothership) in Cupertino. Just when I was bummed out that last week’s trip went by too quickly! My manager told me earlier this week that they’re planning on sending me there in June. Yay! =)

I’m In!

I’m hired for a creative position at the Apple Store in Ala Moana! I’ll be teaching people how to use various Apple programs. My first day is April 30th!
