Introduction Time!

Hello there!

My name is Audrey Chiya. I am currently a Junior at the University of Colorado Denver. I am a Psychology, B.A. major and a Ethnic Studies minor. I recently moved to an apartment here in Littleton, CO this past summer. I have attended school at UCD for the past three years and I am originally from Honolulu, HI. When I was younger, I always took for granted the little island I called home, but now after being away for so long, I've grown a greater appreciation for home.

I selected Honolulu because well, that's where I'm from. I remember in school always being told how awesome Hawaii is geologically and what not. Also, that it is extremely unique from the rest of the world. I never really paid attention when people would explain that to me, but after my new found appreciation for home, I am extremely curious to find out what they meant! So I figured, Hawaii would be a great and unique way to experience and learn materials for this class. I am also very curious as to how the geography of my little tiny island chain will differ from that of Colorado.
