    I'm a librarian! Public librarian. What sort of librarian are you considering? Law? Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!

    After my previous cat passed away, I didn't have a cat for four years. Now I have two kittens and I fell right back into the routine and I absolutely love them. I do sometimes wonder if I'm doing the best I can. But at the same time, I know I've improved from how I took care of my previous cat (we loved her, but we were still pretty young when we had her). You will do fine! I think just by you wondering, you're proving that you care and that you want to do the best for your future cat!

    I personally think 1-2 months in Honolulu is do-able, as long as you are able to pay the $2.3k. I think the mistake a lot of people make coming to Hawaii is not realizing how expensive it is. They come here and expect to be able to just live off the land. If you manage your expectations and are aware of the cost of living, it should be fine, especially if this is just a short term stay and you are able to work remotely. I know a lot of people did that during the beginning of the pandemic.

    I'm not white but I think you should be fine regarding racism. Just treat people with respect. Depending on where you're from, it might be differently culturally than what you're used to (and it is fairly acceptable to make fun of white/haole people here). But I think just don't expect it to be like the mainland and also don't try too hard to fit in.

    I rarely drive, and Honolulu is pretty doable without a car, especially if you stay in town.

    Lmk if you have any other questions.
