Day 8 (Saturday)

Today I woke up at about 8:30 a.m. I had only been asleep for about 4 or so hours, but I remember having some crazy dreams about walking in the freezing desert. It was pretty strange, yet I had the distinct feeling that there was something uniquely human and deep about its atmosphere.
Anyways, after waking up I brushed my teeth and threw on some board shorts. It was Tucker's birthday today, and as part of his special day we went to North Shore bright and early. (the part of the island known for the crazy waves) The beach we went to was too nuts to surf, but we brought a few bodyboards instead.
The waves at this beach were astonishing, there would be these so called "freak" sets, which came out of nowhere. The water was choppy and hard to read, but these waves would suddenly hit 8 feet or so and just pound the shore. Needless to say we got wrecked a few times; the waves would suddenly barrel over as they reached the shore, picking you up and dropping you a few feet on impact . It was intimidating, the waves were so rough, and each time you got caught between them and the shore, it was almost guaranteed that you were not going to maintain control. Plus, it kinda hurt. A lot. 
But I'm glad I'm doing this "Yes" experiment, because people would keep asking if I was gonna go back in the water; and as reluctant as I was, I'm so psyched we gave it our best. ( i rode one massive wave perfectly into shore, and ended on that note)
Also on a much different , yet equally satisfactory note - today the beach was constantly populated with girls, 95% of whom had exceptional behinds. Way above average. (just wouldn't quit) saw a few thongs as well. Great Job! 
We got some shaved ice afterwards, and went back to the dorms. Also everyone got sunburned pretty bad at the beach, but it was so worth it.
We got back around 5: 30 p.m. - I showered and napped for a bit and we continued to celebrate Tucker's birthday by going to the movies. (I've had a problem with going to see movies - I haven't gone for at least 4 or so years) But I got a footlong hotdog, and watched "Insidious" - I'm not gonna lie, it was scary, and jumpy at times, but I was having a lot of fun. This would NEVER have happened without this "Yes" crusade. I seriously have a major problem with going to the movies, and I did NOT want to go. But I'm so glad I did. I have a great friend here, her name's Brie and over break, I haven't seen much of her. But tonight it felt like we were connecting again, and things were back to normal. (It was kinda funny watching her in the movies, cause she doesn't do so well with horror movies) All in all it was a great experience
After the movie we went back to the dorms, at about 12:30 a.m. and had some cake to end Tucker's birthday celebration. Chocolate with Reese's Pieces on top - T'was most excellent. Following this. it became time to go to bed, and here we are.
Till Tomorrow, 
Cheers
