Spring's finally here!


My favorite tree is in bloom all over DC!

Does anyone know what this tree is called?
A victorious team!

The weather has finally decided to cooperate and it is beautiful in DC. So I took advantage of it and played soccer on Saturday with my women's team. We won 3-1. Then I hung out with my roommates Anne & Ben for a little while in the afternoon. They're both great cooks and had made fresh guacamole & salsa to enjoy outside in the sun. Then, I went for a long walk around DC in the afternoon.

Sunday I played tennis with Sohail. Well, maybe "played" is an overstatement. The truth goes more like this: Sohail was kind enough to occasionally hit the balls in my direction exactly arms length from my body so I'd have the satisfaction of hitting a few back until I stopped playing because of the massive blisters I developed on my thumb and forefinger and I left Sohail to practice his serves! Seriously, we had a lot of fun and I fully intend on being a slightly below average tennis player by the end of the summer (I strive for mediocrity in life). Then we went for another nice walk through DC and had a sushi dinner on a terrace.

For those of you who may be worried about my lack of studying at this moment in the semester (Maman...) don't be! I studied plenty and will be studying all week long.
