9 Days and Counting

9 days until I touch down on my beautiful island (almost like home) of Oahu.
Unfortunately, I no longer know any sailors stationed there and so will not have anyone to attend "Dukes on Sunday" with, but I'm sure I can make some friends :)

In order to celebrate my "last weekend" (the third last weekend), before I start grad school, I spent the whole weekend running around.

Thursday night out until 2:30; Friday night out until 4:30; and Saturday night out until 4:00.  Somewhere along there I picked up a cold.. that is not okay.

The glorious crew at Whitlow's Rooftop

Friday night we decided to be different, with completely different lives and personalities.  Kelly was a model, I was a lawyer, and Richelle was a cardiologist.  When we do things, we go big.  Celebrating Kelly's booking and my 27th birthday (neither of which were legit), we ended up getting more drinks from the bartender than we paid for.  Now I see why guys pretend to be something they're not.  They do it to pick up chicks, we just did it for free drinks.  Either way, it seems to work!

Of course, I'm some work, so I drove up to Fort Meade to see what my new classroom (19 days) is going to look like.. quite interesting AND intimidating.  Let's keep our fingers crossed that everything goes well!

soon-to-be classroom (I'll get there an hour early on day 1 to test it out and see which seat I like the best.. not like I'm OCD or anything...)

So here I am, Happy Monday everyone, with no voice and no motivation to be anywhere but out and about... I am currently sitting in the dark, getting hotter and hotter as the lack of power means no AC and more heat.  What a wonderful day to start the week!
