Sorry that this post is a day late but I got back last night from Elon University and was so wiped from playing frisbee all weekend that I passed out and slept for almost 12 hours… And while I’m always a fan of sleeping and napping but even I know that’s a bit excessive. I’m not complaining though because I got to spend the majority of this weekend outside enjoying the sun and running around with my teammates so it was an amazing two days.
I spent the last few days of spring break a few weeks ago at my friend Hana’s house, who lives just outside of Washington DC. With a little nudging (i.e. continuous bugging), Hana agreed to take me downtown for the afternoon so that I could once again walk around one of my favorite cities. We were only in DC for a few hours and during most of our visit it rained cats and dogs. But even rain can’t cover the beauty of our nation’s capital!
So much sushi was eaten that weekend and I’m not one to complain about that.
Another week has already gone by! I had a few papers and an exam this week but I survived many a late night in the library and am happy to be on the other side. And, as you’ll see, most of my “happy” moments from this week revolve around food which shouldn’t be too surprised… Anyways I hope that everyone has had an amazing Easter weekend and even if you don’t celebrate Easter, I hope that you enjoyed the long weekend.
It’s crazy to think that at this time just last week I was lounging by the pool in Cancun with a piña colada in my hand. Although going to classes can’t really compare, it’s been nice to be back on campus with all of my friends and back to my normal routine. And since spring has officially begun I’m excited for the temperatures to start warming up and for the trees to grow back their leaves. Fingers crossed it happens sooner rather than later!
Last Sunday we went downtown to celebrate one of my closest friend’s 22nd birthday. Granted her birthday was actually on Monday but, you know, we’re all believers of the whole “birthday week.”
We ate at a restaurant that’s a favorite of ours, Jeffrey Adams, which I’ve eaten at a few times already this semester. Per usual I ordered the lobster mac n’ cheese and we all split a pitcher of pomegranate sangria. Luckily I don’t have class on Mondays so I didn’t have to worry about getting up early or anything. We also took a TON of pictures because we all love to pose and pretend like we’re much more popular on Facebook than we actually are (which is the whole point of Facebook… right??). No pictures, however, were taken while we were eating because even as much as I love my camera, a girl has to have her priorities.
Last week we had what every college student dreams about during the winter–a snow day. And the best part is that Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busiest days of the week so I got to relax and hang out with my friends instead of being stuck in class, watching the snow fall. So Tuesday morning my roommate and I dragged ourselves out of bed to play in the snow and meet our other friends for brunch.
