My second trip to Hawaii was the first time I fully experience it. My first trip to Hawaii was at the age of seven. The memory of it is cloudy though. Perhaps because it wasn't something memorable, or simply because of my young mind. In a way, the second time to Hawaii was my first.
Since last time I journaled, practicum has been advancing very well. I have obtained a total of 140 hours by the end of this week.
