nine months later

Ok, my first attempt at blogging ended with last summer. So, since last September...

I took classes, wrote my thesis and finished up my internship at Women in Film and Video.
Best friends visited. 

VegFest DC

Value Village scores

Brunch @ Mark's Kitchen

Chelsea loves the balcony.

After three years and 123.7 miles, my freshman boyfriend Matt and I got back together. We're going to the same graduate school and city in August (More on that in a minute.)
 

I discovered Philly.

I'm officially a graduate of the Catholic University of America, cum laude thankyouverymuch!

I quit smoking and have been running 4-5 days a week. I signed up for a fun 5k with my best friends from home in Brooklyn on August 25th. This picture is from two weeks in, when I ran my first 3 miles since about 7th grade. I'm amazed at how positively I've changed my life in under a month!

And here I am, trying to enjoy my last summer devoid of real responsibilities. And wearing as many dresses as I can.

In August, I will move to Clinton Hill in Brooklyn and start attending Pratt Institute's School of Information and Library Science. I know grad school won't be easy, but I'm really excited to start the School Media Specialist program. Right now, though, I am spending my last two months in DC, my favorite city so far, happily babysitting Kaitlyn's six month old Colin.
I'm going to miss DC, and can see myself coming back later on, but I'm excited at the prospect of finally calling Brooklyn home. It will be great to have independence while living only 45 minutes from my parents house in Wantagh. I recently deactivated my Facebook (it just got old), and I thought blogging would be a more productive way to spend some time on the Internet. So here's to changes, including this one! I'm going to try and document my 22nd year (my birthday is in ten days!!) as well as possible.
