Hello all! I know it's been a while, but my first semester of grad school has come to an end and let me tell you, it is a relief! Grad school is a different world from undergrad, but the last semester has gone really well! I have about a week and a half off before I start the first summer session. Call me cray cray. I know.
Here are some pics from the never ending road trips to classes every week.
There was a huge fire on the side of the road in the farmland area. This picture really doesn't do it justice but amidst all of the rows and rows of green farm this thing was huge!
Perfect day outside and I was stuck driving. Humph.
One good thing out of constantly traveling back and forth from school was getting to see my puppy boy and sweet, only slightly crazy black cat.
As the semester came to a close I got to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of my 21st birthday. (Yes, I really am taking the anniversary of the birthday route, don't judge).
Sweetness made me a delicious breakfast, and since my birthday was so close to Easter this year he included some Reese's peanut butter eggs. Why are Reese's SO much better when they are in the shape of an egg? It's one of life's great mysteries.
We then took a trip to the farmer's market to check out all of the pretty flowers. These hibiscus' were absolutely stunning.
After grabbing lunch we headed to the beach. Let me just say how grateful I am that it is finally warm enough to head out to the beach and not have to wear sweatpants and a hoodie.
Too bad I got super sunburned. When will I ever retain the knowledge of the first-of-the-year sunburn fiasco that happens every year?
We went out to a delicious dinner, sunburn in tow, and snapped this pretty shot of the sunset going across the bridge.
All in all it has honestly been a crazy last couple of months. I did manage to finally unpack every remaining box so the place is FINALLY in order! Can I get a "Woohoo!"
Life feels like it is finally settling down (for now at least) and I think some semblance of normality might possibly be ensuing. But that could just be the lull in school activity happening for a bit. Keep your fingers crossed! :)
And alas I leave you with a picture of the kitty who has stolen my heart. This is his favorite spot in the whole house. He especially loves it when we open the window and he sits with his nose pressed against the screen.
