Hawai'i Update #1
How lucky I am, to be a part of this amazing energy group. My group-mates are all incredibly bright and talented; I'm impressed by their inquisitive minds, keen insights, and sharp questions. Yale picks good people. Honestly, I often wonder how the hell I got selected.
I'm on the Big Island of Hawai'i now - the island of active volcanoes, breathtaking waterfalls, lush rainforests, and pristine beaches. I have met a few people on the island; and I think that what makes this island so special is everyone's hospitality and kindness. The other day, I took a quick stroll through the neighborhood, and everywhere I turned, neighbors waved at me and shouted "aloha!"
That said, not everything in life is perfect. I feel a little out of my element here. I'm working in the energy field, something I know little about, so there's a steep learning curve for me. The gorgeous 4-bedroom house that we live in is constantly being invaded by roaches, ants, maggots (??), geckos, and other odd insects (this has actually been more entertaining than a real annoyance). And then there's a certain someone that I miss a lot...

i want to see that odd insect XD
Haha, I kinda got used to the roaches and geckos growing up there. Well, I don't see roaches too often. But I definitely see geckos chilling on my ceiling ALL THE TIME... I think this would freak out a lot of tourists.
