My heart is in Hawaii…

My heart is in Hawaii…

My boyfriend and I stopped to take a picture near these beautiful rocks near the edge of Hawaii’s famous North shore in Oahu.  The waves were really high that day so we had to take our pictures quickly so we didn’t get carried off into the water.  Something interesting about the rock behind us is that there’s a little space in between the rocks that the water gets trapped under and with enough pressure the water gets pushed out through the whole creating a water show for people passing by.  Our friend who brought us here told us that the pressure is so strong that it could push a person out of the whole and into the air if they were to get stuck underneath the rock…Idon’t advise anyone trying it though!  This place is so special to me and I’m looking foward to moving there after I graduate from college.  Everything about Hawaii is perfect.  The weather is always nice, there’s alwasy a cool breeze, and the people treat strangers like family.  This place is my home and I can’t wait to go back.

Dance Evolution

This video sums up all the greatest dance moves throughout history! If you don’t know how to dance check this guy out and he’ll teach you every style you’ve ever heard of! If you’re not convinced by the end that dancing is for you then it’s still awesome to watch this comedian take dancing to a new level.  Although it is clear he may not have had proper training as a dancer I can definitely say that I appreciate his moves and the dedication he puts into each style of dance he presents! He gets an A+ in my book!

Food finding quest.

Over the weekend I decided to venture off into another restaraunt hunt so I could contribute more thoughts about good places to eat in Athens.  I went to a little tiny restaraunt called ‘eat hibachi’ in the downtown area which specializes in Korean and Japanese food.  It’s kind of a fast food restaraunt except the food is made fresh and not prepackaged.  I decided to try some Korean beef ribs (galbi) with a side of white rice and steamed veggies.  All I have to say is that they were delicious! The beef was infused with garlic, onion, soysauce, and other herbs then grilled to perfection.  It was such a simple dish, but packed with outrageous flavor.  The tiny restaraunt has a wide variety of authentic korean and Japanese dishes.  It’s very affordable to eat there and the atmosphere is quaint and cozy.  I will definitley be heading back over  there in the near future!

Bootcamp was enlightening

This past saturday I participated in a social media boot camp with my WOM class.  I have to say that I had social media anxiety prior to attending the event.  As soon as I got there I was assigned the task of taking videos of educators, students, and Edelman faculty.  Doing this wasn’t so bad.  It wasn’t unitl I was notified that I would have to upload the videos onto Youtube that I started feeling my heart race.  Once I got some instructions on exactly what to do I felt like I could sit there and do it all day.  Not only did I have a chance to upload videos, but I also got to post the links onto twitter.  Attending the bootcamp was an awesome experince for a person like me who doesn’t really get into technology.  I found that getting my hands dirty and jumping right into it is the best form of education.  I really enjoy social media now and don’t mind throwing out a few tweets every now and then.  Who knows maybe one day i’ll turn into a social media junkie…
