oh my goodness, i was supposed to blog on the 6th but i totally knocked out. sooo, i thought we were gona be able to sleep in, but NOOOO.. we had this super session thing upstairs. we woke up, got ready and everything, then headed downstairs. honestly, i dont really remember anything during that session except for the guest speaker asking people to raise their hands if we've never seen him in our lives and everyone in my row sleeping. i couldnt wait for it to end so that we could go shopping, and im pretty sure im not the only one who felt that way. i had a nice little nap, then the time came.. the time that the super session finally ended! WOOOHOOOO! hahaha!

all of us headed outside and us hawaii kids took a picture by the big statue outside of the hotel. we waited for everyone then we walked through downtown disney to get to the other side where the shuttles were. we had a hard time putting our money into the machine to get our tickets. we took group pictures as we waited for our shuttle to come. we squeezed into the shuttle and headed to the block! we went shopping on our own and were supposed to meet at d&b's by 5:30.

my plan was to avoid stores that we have back home in hawaii, but that didnt work. i went to forever 21 first, haha. majority of the stores had junk things anyways. i swear.. marissa, ely and i went around forever 21 more than five times. we went in and out of soo many stores.

we went to eat at that chinese restaurant and the food was helllla good, but panda express is sooo much better. we just waited and chilled it in there for a bit before heading to d&b's. we saw the whole group walking together like a bunch of ducklings following the momma duck (mrs. s). we eventually caught up with them and waited to be seated. our whole group probably took up about 5 tables? marissa, desha, ely and i sat together on one table and since we all finished eating.. we got the frosty mug cup thing. that was absolutely delicious! but we were kinda cold after, lol. bad idea, right? after we paid for everything, we went outside and it was raining!

we had to walk through the rain alllll the way to the bus stop. we could see our breath! my two bath and body bags broke and everything felll out because the rain wet it -___- that was not funny at all :( and there were at least three cars who tried to splash us! the shuttle took forever to get there. i felt like we were waiting for over an hour. & when the bus finally did come, we had to squeeze because there were other people in the bus. it was a nice ride back to downtown disney listening to a little "love story" told by one of our very own couples amongst the group ;D

i absolutely hate having to go through bag checks, its such a hassle. i needed to do more last minute shopping for family before heading to the hotel. its so expensive, my wallet was crying >o<" i got ditched, and so did destrie.. so we went shopping together! we were rushing thinking that we had to be back at 9:30, but we saw mrs. s in Dstreet and she said be back around 10:30 so i headed to build-a-bear and decided to get a gift for someone special back home ^-^ its too sad that they replaced build-a-bear with vans in ala moana shopping center. the worker who was helping me stuff my hello kitty was kinda TOO HAPPPY, but she was adorable. turns out she was full filipino just like me. i liked her, she was very smiley. destrie was laughing at me doing that routine with the bear's heart. & when we were making the birth certificate, the little boy sitting next to me was laughing at us arguing. i love destrie! :D

we met up with micah and char at the candy store and headed back to the hotel. we made a small stop at the fountain and we all flipped a coin and made a wish, TWICE.. since SOMEONE's ahem* charina's! coin fell. lol. aw, i wish we didnt have to go back since it was our last night and all. once we got back to the hotel, we had a meeting in the chaperon's room for equipment then we started packing. i have no idea what everyone else was doing, but i knocked out.

STN was such a great experience. i'm extremely proud of mitchel and andrew, and all the hawaii schools who were mentioned during the awards ceremonies. way to represent you guys! great job! :D

well, i need to get back to studying. good night everyone & dream sweetly! love daryenne'noel ramirez <3.
