Day 223

Took a practice test and it was rough.

Best part of my day? A surprise package from Aunt Mary with my own nail colors. Just in the nick of time to get my toes redone! :) Love it.

Day 219

WoW! This weekend was awesome and amazing! I had the lovely opportunity to reunite with CJ, one of my sorority sisters, and we had a blast bouncing around DC and downtown Alexandria. I would go back in a heartbeat! Here are some pics from our adventure. I did take the megabus up and back, which was an experience but worth getting to read/study on the way up and back. I might take the megabus again...it will depend of time and finances. It was pretty cheap too! Here's to a great weekend with great friends!

 What a beautiful day to be in DC!

 At the WWII Memorial!

 Oh hey Washington Monument!

 We finally found the mysterious MLK Jr Memorial!

 Little did CJ know it was right by all of the other memorials....

 Ice Cream on the Mall....nothing says DC better than this!

 Smithsonian Natural History Museum...Bones, Dinosaurs, and Genomes, oh my!

 Girls night out at Olde Town Theatre in Alexandria!

 Greatest surprise comedy show!

 National Holocaust Museum

 Such a moving experience and it really makes you think about whats going on today...

 Stroll through the sculpture gardens....

 More sculptures...

 Ice cream and sunning on the mall again...what an end to a perfect trip!

See you next time DC! I'll be back!

Day 211

Today was a beautiful day and I just couldn't stay indoors. I started my day off with my PR 2 mile run. After getting a good shower and reading my book for a bit, I went to visit my friend Rachel to attend an ice cream benefit for our sorority's philanthropy 5k. Not only was it > 90 degrees out, but there wasn't much sitting space, so we got our ice cream to-go and went on a wander around our old college campus. We ended up at our old sorority house and got a tour of the updated facilities - which are AMAZING by the way. We also went and walked all around the campus, checked out the new student union, and just reminisced about old times. I don't care what I though then, the "real world" is harder than being an undergraduate, however I honestly have no inkling to return to that environment. It was 4 years of growth and new experiences, however I am very content with how it all ended and I wouldn't want to change any of that. It is so nice to have good friends that keep you going when you're feeling blah, and I can honestly say Rachel is one of them. Here's a pic of the two of us before we got shooed off of the old well by a bunch of bikers. It was quite odd, but funny at the same time.

Day 208

So it has officially been 1 week that I have not been a student. Since that time I have finished 1.5 books, lounged by the pool, and started studying my butt off for the boards.

However, I am happy to say that Thursday nights are one of my favorite nights of the week. Today I met Elissa and Alexii for a nice make-your-own salad and fro-yo experience. It was full of laughs and fun, and I can't wait for next Thursday. :)
