Life

Another month gone by means its time for anther update I suppose. So much has happened though, that I think I will just do bullet points:

-4th of July
Seeing the show in DC was fan-freaking-tastic.
The view from my roof is amazing and I had a great time.
The only bummer was that I wish I had someone special to watch the show with.
-Jack Johnson
I went to the concert with Ami and had a great time.
There were people who were afraid of crowds, there were 40 year old women who were so drunk they couldn't get up, there was a game of "Where is the drunk girl," who was supposed to be sitting next to us and ended up all the way across the field.
Jack Johnson is amazing and I love his new album
-DC United
Melissa and I went to the game against LA Galaxy, and I got to see Landon Donovan in action, as well as Chris Pontius from UCSB (Go Gauchos!).
It was freaking hot, but so worth it, even though DC United lost.
-Dave Matthews Band
I am so not a fan of DMB, but I really enjoyed the concert. I think its because the music itself is amazing, even if the songs themselves all sound alike to me.
In any case, Jamie invited me, and it was a great time.
-Engagements
Andrew and Jamie are engaged!!!!
I went to grad school with Andrew, and became good friends with both him and Jamie.
This has been such a long time coming, and I am so happy for them both.
At the same time, there is a little seed inside of me asking, "What about me?"
-Mary Poppins
Ami and I just bought tickets to see the show at the Kennedy Center August 17th, and I am so excited.
-Baseball
The office is going to a Nats game.
I think it is going to be super fun and relaxing, and it will eb a good opportunity to bond outside of the office.
-Mom's Visit
Mom will be here Aug 12-Aug 16!!!
This will be the first time I have seen mom since Jan 8th,
That's a long time.
-Travel
I think I am going to be in California Dec 22-Dec 27.
That is going to be one heck of a weekend.
Here is the plan: IAD-LAX Dec 22, at Dad's 23-24, and Mom's 25-26, SAN-BWI Dec 27.
-I'm an Apple Slut
I finally got a new computer, which I am using now.
It has a camera and it's fast and pretty and fantastic.
I got an ipad from my Nana for graduation/my birthday.
I love it as an e-reader, and am just super happy with it in general.
-Book Club Books
I finished Atonement and realllllly loved it.
I actually think the ending in the movie was a little better, but the writing was so beautiful, and the story so great, that it is definitely one of my favorite books.
Still, I can't believe it took me so long to finish it.
I am now reading Running with Scissors, and I am not sure how I feel about it.
Books are supposed to make you think and feel, so it is doing it job.
The problem is that I am feeling disgusted as I can't believe how ridiculously terrible these so-called "authority figures" are.
-Comp
I PASSED MY COMPREHENSIVE EXAM!!!!!!!!
This means I can graduate in August and that I can officially say that I have a Master's degree. :-)
Now I just have to figure out what this means for my job...
