Hey everyone! We’re in Kauai. Super late post today, but hey it’s only around 10 am here.

He’s sleeping right now, so I figured I had some time to do an update. I’m about to leave to go lay out though, because he probably won’t wake up for a couple of hours.

I’m uploading pictures everyday because I plan on bringing my camera underwater for snorkeling (I bought a case), and I’m afraid it might damage my camera, so I won’t to upload everything as I go. Some pictures are super blurry because I took them with my phone, oops.

We got here around noon yesterday. The bartender will most likely be the end of me. The drinks here are so good! And he gave us some free drinks yesterday so that was nice also. Drinks are sooo expensive though (around $15 a pop), so we went to the store yesterday and right now our fridge is stocked full of alcohol. Also, we have some plans today. Queen’s bath and some hiking. And of course laying out and getting some sun.

Also, I read AND finished Hunger Games while at the airport, so good! I am extremely proud of myself (and so is the BF), because I NEVER read. Most of you know this, it’s extremely sad. The last book I read all the way was one of the Narnia books I think, and that was back in middle school. Very sad!

My last update can be found here.

My updates:

School: Only 6 more weeks until the semester is over. I have a test next week and a couple of projects due. I need to find time to do this when I get back. Hopefully the time change doesn’t kill me (5 hours difference) and I am able to do everything on Sunday when I get back. I can’t wait until the semester is over!

I’ve been trying to calculate my expected grades from my classes for this semester, and I think I’ll have an average of an A minus to a B plus. Not the greatest, but oh well. I haven’t been trying the hardest. I should be though. Overall for the whole program, my GPA will probably be around 3.6. Does anyone know what a “good” gpa is for an MBA program? I know it all depends on what school you go to and so on, but I’m just wondering.

Extra Monthly Income: Not a ton in extra income last week, but I’ve already reached my goal for the month. Any extra would be lovely though!

Budget Cutting: Definitely did not cut anything last week.

Spending: I did not sell any clothes last week. I was too busy. I need to do this right when we get back.

Food: We did good with this last month. And we will try to do good with this while on vacation.

How’s your spending going?

    Oh Michelle, it looks like you are having a good time. Wake your honey up! Tell him he can sleep when you're back home :p Have fun snorkeling!Our spending this month has been great….except for buying the kids a few small treats. They deserve it, though. It's not the kids' fault we're in debt, right?

    Yep…alcohol is expensive! Stocking your own bar is the best idea. I just spent $11 for a sparkling wine out to dinner on Friday night then Sat the drinks were about 10-14 downtown. Ouch! Keep on having fun.

    Gorgeous pictures! Can't wait to do some traveling of my own. I've done lots of hiring and I've never known of GPA making any difference. It's the fact that you have the MBA that matters. Hope that relieves a little bit of pressure for you. My spending has been under control for the most part. I still have cash left and don't get paid until Friday (getting paid once per month stinks sometimes).

    Ooooh, a vacation! Enjoy! Hmm, this is the 2nd post I've read about someone finishing (and enjoying) The Hunger Games. Guess I need to hop to it and add it to my list (I'd like to see the movie so I can see what the hype is for)!
