A quick update so you know where our family is:
First of all, we're all in Hawaii.
(Just making sure we're all on the same page here.)
Our family spent our first Christmas in Hawaii yesterday with the unhappy absence of snow. However, as a Canadian, I am proud to announce that, believe it or not, the temperature chilled down. About 2 degrees anyway.
Anyway, the second quarter my parents have staffed has finished, and the DTS students have left for outreach. (I wonder how their Christmas went? Poor souls.) The staff people still left on campus (that's us!) are getting a short Christmas break before the next quarter starts on January 2nd.
In a desperate effort to make room, staff people living on campus (us again) are being asked to find some place off campus. By the first of February, we have to leave. Somehow. Some way.
Why?
Because the campus is rapidly walking out of room to put all the people. (I'm sorry: clichés always drove me insane ... )
Nonetheless, having too little room is a much better problem than having too much room.
Although I've liked living on campus (I can walk to my classroom, and break in in the middle of the night if I've forgotten any textbooks) my family knew we would leave the campus sometime. So it's not a shock.
Right now, my family is leaving the campus to go house hunting.
Wish us luck!

THIS is a shock.
