Anyone at U-Palms want to meet up to go to the "deans reception" thing at 4:00? stop by room 104 and ask for Chris.
what did you guys think of orientation today?
i was dosing off. not very energetic speakers
didn't answer much questions
thats pretty bad if people are bored already....
anyone going to da volcano?
lets go do something fun before school really starts!
We can take a taxi or all chip in to rent a car? Anybody??
I have a stupid question (or not), but since the CPR certification is required for hospital rotations and since I received a retail rotation (and I'm assuming that rotation sites are set for each semester), it should be okay to get the training done in say, December or something, right?
Guess I'll be calling the Red Cross now. BTW, is that class just one week long? Thanks
if anyone like go to volcano, i would go up there and give people a ride. i havent been up there in awhile
or if not anyone wanna go beach? richardsons? i'll sell someone my 3 prong spear for 10 bucks, its only 5 feet but i bought it at walmart for 17 something i think. you just gotta sharpen it
WOW that sounds great!
My roomate and I are dying to go to the beach or see an active volcano. We live at U. Palms. We will pay for the gas

This is the first time I've had an asian instructor-it's difficult for me to understand the material because of her accent.
Someone else mentioned this to me as well after class-would be nice if we had an American born speaker.

Ok, now I know what haole means. lol (Had no idea til now)
habeansha-you have obviously been around asian accents before, so I can see why you have no problem. I'm from the mainland, have only dealt with white english speaking instructors with an American accent.
When I was accepted here I had no idea there would be an "accent" at the pulpit. Lectures are very cruical, and I would appreciate it if we didn't have to listen to such a difficult accent.
I am not racist, just thinking how much easier it would be for myself to not have to "translate", if you know what I mean. As time goes on, I'm sure I'll get used to it.
*fingers crossed*
I think the previous two bans were a little strict as well, but the posters had so few posts and were discussing somewhat 'controversial issues'. So mods may have been a little quick to think they are trying to get a rise out of people or a troll.
SDN is a HUGE place, there are plenty of threads where posters are new and have only one or two posts! Just look around. There is nothing wrong with participating in any controversial issue as long as you stay within the guidelines of the TOS.
To actually ban someone over this is totally ridiculous. Their post is FAR from racist-my guess is a touchy professor that cannot handle "good critisism" hit the "abuse" button and the mod got excited.
Be fair, people. It's JUST a message board for pete's sakes. Hopefully you will get your answer, habeansha.
I've been told that "haole" originally meant foreigner but it's become a phrase for caucasian. It's not deragatory unless you take it to be so. I'm half haole and it doesn't mean a thing to me. People always used to ask if I was half asian, half haole.. and I am. So what.
Hawaii's population is incredibly diverse.. I love it. It's the only place I've ever lived where everyone can make fun of everyone and have a good laugh over it. Haole isn't a derogatory term, just as "white" isn't a deragatory term.
Anyways.. So jealous of you guys in Hawaii right now. I am totally missing the beaches!
Yep-I was freezing my _ _ _ _ _'s off. Hell, we pay a kings ransom for tuition and they hold back on the heat. Unless this cheapo joint makes some changes, my next year will be somewhere else. Dr Chang will be at the lecture helm soon again-she doesn't know the material, not that Tan is much of an improvement. Shoulda taken Jefferson when I had the chance! Hilo is a huge let down-boring as heck on this rock for activity.
But please-do check out HYC-you won't be disappointed.
When you guys mentioned the classroom being cold and freezing, are you referring to the weather or the air conditioning?
I'm assuming it's the weather and if it is, how cold has it been?
Is there a gym nearby housing facility?
thanks
