Busy, but what else is new?

Things are supposed to slow down before we go back to school, right? So far I haven't really felt that. I am trying to fit all the last minute visits in as well as prepare myself and my classroom for the new batch to start in a little over a week. This weekend, I went to 3 functions, did some domestic stuff like cleaning, washing clothes, and worked on school things that need to be in order.
My uncle is starting up a catering business and I helped to secure him his first job, so I was out helping with the imu and the cooking of the pig on Friday night and then again there Saturday morn and afternoon to help with the cooking and preparing of the other food. Because it was a luau, I got to teach the kids how to hula and then they performed for their parents. They were super cute. The food and the party went off without a hitch, well except for the dj getting stuck in "traffic" and then "lost" it was a good time had by all. I left there and went to another hawaiian based function for my friend who is newly engaged and was having an engagement party. The house and yard looked wonderful and there were lots of people there to wish them congratulations. I was super happy to see a member of our girls group, who had kind of dropped off the face of the earth. She is doing well and hopefully will be around more often.
Today, my halau hosted an end of the summer BBQ before they were heading off to E Hula Mau. It was good food and yummy treats. One of my hula sisters, who got a new lens, let me borrow it and I got to go around and take fun pictures, that I will be posting later. I have also been working on my PhotoShop Elements Skills. They are getting so much better since I was able to be tutored last Wednesday, by the guru herself. The only other skills I have been working on improving are my tanning skills and they are going to get a workout this week, because it is my final week before I am back in the classroom full time.
Alright I need to start going to bed early, so when school starts, I will be getting the recommended amount of sleep.
