Getting it in!

Between school and work, I've been exhausted lately. However, I am still striving to maintain some semblance of a life.

Summing up the last few weeks or so.

Vegas. Super fun. I don't think I'm allowed to say more ;)

I attended the H Street Festival in DC. It's great to see how much the area has grown, and all the new businesses. I can't wait to check out the newer establishments. The Star and Shamrock has amazing ruebens and a cool selection of drinks.

The Virgin Mobile fest in Columbia was cool, and it's opened my interest to fist pumping action such as this .

This weekend, I attended a wedding in Kiawah for one of my bestest friends. It was an absolute perfect setting for a wedding. I don't think it could have been prettier, or better planned! Congrats Jenn and Kris!

In the midst of all of this, I've purchased a camera which has been super fun to use. I have so much to learn, even though it's just a lil cheapie. I've been meaning to take some classes, but I was like... f it. Right now, the best way for me to learn is through practice. I dropped off my first 3 rolls of film today, and am excited to see how B&W's of the wedding turned out.

I've also been inspired to actually create "looks" for the spaces in my apartment. I've always been one to decorate with what I have, or what I acquire. Now, I am taking the time to pick a wall color, and pick specific furniture and decorations to complete my look. First up is my bedroom.

My school program requires that I have experience/credit in an African language, as well as a world language. I've started to become more proactive in studying Yoruba, and spent today researching grant funding sources to study abroad. Hopefully next year, I'll be spending a semester abroad in Africa.

Also happening: research sessions, having car windshield replaced after an ashtray was thrown through it (while in Kiawah), baby showers, job hunting, and birthday dinners.
