Put some Karen into Your Day!: Blue Angels, Washington, D.C., and gliding rockers!

What have I been up to since my last entry, you ask. Not too much.

I was recently visited by my auntie and uncle of MN and lucky us the Blue Angels were in town & we got to watch them fly over our heads performing crazy acts of skill and talent! We were super lucky to have a great viewing spot and a beautiful clear day to view it all.

After their visit I kicked the studying into high gear and studied for my third exam, failed it, then studied until 4AM the day of my final exam and completed the qtr. with a B-. Can you believe it?! HA! I was sooooooo incredibly happy my hard work paid off, I'm still awaiting to pick up my final exam to see what I did to pull my grade up.

The day of my final exam, yes, that's how much I wanted to leave chemistry behind, I flew to our nation's capital to visit some Peace Corps peeps and viewed the monuments from a diff. perspective -the Potomac River! I've visited D.C. on three diff. occasions so this visit was strictly to catch up w/ old friends and enjoy the parts of the capital that I didn't enjoy on my last few visits.

(eq.) {(weather = good) + (friend time = awesome)} = successful trip!

Other exciting news is I FINALLY got my glider rocker reupholstered! Yeah! People, this may not seem like something too hard to achieve, but the work that went into finding the fabric, earning the $ to purchase it, and finding a reliable and skilled reupholsterer was tough! HA! I'm super happy w/ the results and my butt is so happy to sit in the chair everyday.

I'm taking Fall qtr. of classes off b/c I'll be traveling overseas! Yippee! Details to come next time.

Have a great day and remember put some Karen into your day, it's guaranteed to turn you into a super model!
