April showers...

It has been raining all day, since I woke up. I really like it when its raining and I can sleep in. Its nice to hear it outside, and the room feels more cozy and just makes me want to snuggle under the covers. That said, I was enjoying the lovely spring weather from Saturday, all sunny and mid 70s, so anytime that comes back would be lovely.

Had a great weekend. Friday afternoon was gorgeous out. Sat on the Beach with the usual group. Never thought I would sit outside in 65 degree weather and think it totally fine to be in short sleeves and it be pleasant. Used to be sweater weather for me. Lots of kids were out, they were all proud of the rare occasion when Hopkins looks like any other college campus. People actually looking like they are having fun. Not too much school spirit around here for the most part. Sort of sad, but makes it all so much more appreciate UF. Then, Pancho and I went on this dinner cruise around the Inner Harbor on Friday night with grad students from the BME department. Typical Hopkins slightly socially awkward crowd, but there were drinks included and the harbor at night was really pretty. I got pictures of the big paddle wheels on the boat. When I saw it, I immediately thought Tom Sawyer, Mississippi River, big white paddle boat.

This was Homecoming Weekend so lots of alumni in town. Saturday was also gorgeous out so Pancho and I threw a little tailgate. Burgers, hot dogs, frozen margaritas out on the front porch. Was perfect. So glad to be able to host a little something. Then went to the lax game against Navy. They won, I was more concerned with being super thirsty from the margaritas :) Walked around and got ice cream, sat on the Beach again. A very casual, summer-like day. Makes me think how awesome this summer IS going to be.

Got my official offer from the Supreme Court. I start in 5 weeks. Making more money than I thought AND they are subsidizing my monthly pass on the train to commute! Yay. More money for those work clothes I need to get! I think its going to be a lot of fun. Have to learn all about the Court now, and the architecture of the building. My boss seems awesome though from her emails so I'm happy about that. Lots of good stuff to look forward to.

Making Chicken Fajita Crescent Braid tonight, recipe sounds yummy, and so excited for a new Gossip Girl!!
