Kalihi pumping station

On Friday, our environmental engineering class took a field trip to the Kalihi pumping station. I've got to write a page on it for homework. We sat through a not-so-short lecture about water pumping. I know that the boy sitting next to me was falling asleep because I could see his head falling back. The resulting spasm would wake him up for a little while, and then he'd go back to sleep, then his head would almost fall off again... The speaker told us he usually gives his speech to a younger audience, explaining to them the importance of shutting off the water while brushing one's teeth. He told us that by our age, we ought to know that.

Instead, at this age, we should conserve water by sharing showers.

Ha ha ha. Fun ny. Of course, all the STD-filled kids got a kick out of that one.

Am I the only 19-going-on-20 college student not smiling everything in sight?
