p.s. decisions

Did i mention that I'm off to Michigan for school? Yep, self-proclaimed east coast girl is uprooting herself for 3 lovely years in the midwest.

it's gonna be awesome.

long time no...

blog.

my sister chastized me for not blogging. she thinks that now i'm unemployed, i have SOOO much free time. au contraire, my friends. au contraire! since leaving full-time employment (since I'm still quasi-employed), I have been quite busy.

immediately after my last day, i made a pilgrimage to the frozen north to visit my sister at Dartmouth. the weather was lovely, we ate some delicious food--including my favorite sandwich and cookies at dartmouth, and my favorite pizza in town, took some walks. then, it was back to dc to have some last hurrahs and pack up all my stuff and move back home to my parents in the big apple. since sunday, my father (also on an extended vacation) and i have given away boxes and boxes of books and clothing, and recycled extraordinary amounts of electronics. i feel so virtuous!

Friday, I jet off to California for a few weeks. itinerary includes: santa barbara, los angeles, and san francisco.

popemobile!

today, a and i ventured out of our office to get a coffee and test my computer at caribou and arrive on pennsylvania ave with perfect timing to see the popemobile go by! it was too quick to whip out my phone and snap a picture, but it was really cool!

(side note, we could now be in an HP advertisement--the two of us are sitting at caribou with our identical HP laptops...)

things i will not miss

one thing i will not miss is the redline metro. almost every morning it is so messed up that i swear i will boycott the metro. of course that never lasts but its the thought that counts. how can a city expect to grow/expect its citizens to take public transportation if its main metro line drops down to one track when there is any sort of problem.
