More spring break excitment

Here are some pictures of the last weekend of spring break that I spent with some of my closest friends from USC in Athens, Georgia. Why Georgia? Because Shirin's only two months away from having a "mini-me" so we all got together for her baby shower. Although the conversation of giving birth has deterred me for even thinking about getting pregnant for a few more decades, I hope someone else will do so soon so we can have a good excuse for another reunion.

Back in DC it was hard to get back into the swing of school.... so I didn't... yet... I'll have to do that soon but I've been having a great time catching up with friends from here who I didn't see in more than 7 days and my internship has been really fascinating. The other great thing is that the cherry blossoms are starting to bloom which means spring is finally here!

My dad graciously agreed to take me to the greyhound station where I started my trip to Athens and where we did some of the best people watching ever. Fortunately I only took the bus to Columbia, SC which took almost twice what it takes in a car but I wasn't bored for a second!

I also got to see Sarah's boyfriend, Barney and Walker, another friend from USC

Beth and Sarah's creations made from play dough actually intended for Cyrus... I'm not sure if stealing from unborn children is legal but I do some research and keep you posted.
