Week 13

I am finally done with all of my work! I took my class final, submitted my portfolio, mailed in my research paper for Villanova, and faxed over my journal entries. I can now relax and take a nice breath of the fresh spring air, although it might be physically impossible to do so since my allergies have completely clogged my respiratory system. I feel like this city is perpetually covered in a thin layer of pollen.

The Mets were in town so we went to the Nationals Park again to see the game yesterday (yay New York!) Although the President’s Race (where people dressed up in huge mascot-esque costumes of Teddy Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson, G. Washington and Honest Abe race each other on the baseball field) and the fireworks accompanying the Nats games are always great, we were so tired from working that we left the game early, just in time to miss Felipe Lopez’s grand slam - I wish I could have seen our Founding Fathers flip out over that. The weather was great, although it’d be more enjoyable if our apartment’s AC didn’t spew out hot air like you couldn’t even imagine.

It’s our second to last weekend here, and I can’t believe how quickly this semester has passed by. Leaving is definitely going to be a lot harder than I thought, but enough of that – I’ll deal with thoughts of leaving when I have to. I’m going to go out to our courtyard and have a cookout with some friends, and you know how much I love barbeques. Until next time!
