Hey Preps!
After a full day of finals...I can officially say: Helloooo sweet summer!
Or is it sweet? This summer I was supposed to study abroad in Rome. However, thanks to my major, I will be stuck in Pittsburgh doing my senior research. I am still rather salty about this. This summer will involve: work, summer classes, research, and an internship. Busy grown up summer that involves being away from Pat. This may be the only time ever I am not jumping with joy after my last final. Oh well, I can't complain...it will be nice to not have as many classes, and to really focus on my future.
Anywhoooo enough of my pity party I am currently throwing for myself...last weekend was amazing!
Friday night, one of my best girlfriends and I arrived in Annapolis after a muy dificil Spanish test. The boys (Pat and his shipmate Rob) met us at the hotel, and carried in our 10329408 million bags.
Oh dear. Pat couldn't help but laugh because he was shocked that another girl would bring three Vera Bradley duffles for one short weekend other than his beloved girlfriend. So does that mean I can bring four now? Kidding...I usually only bring one, but this weekend's events forced me to have to bring a little extra.
After we hulled all of the luggage to our room, it was time for some Carrie Underwood! Yes I was about five feet away from the most gorgeous country star ever! She was incredible. She sang "All-American Girl" which is my absolute favorite of hers. Even the boys had fun. What I loved was the fact there was only a few hundred people in attendance. Carrie all to ourselves. Following the concert was an evening stroll around DTA (downtown Annapolis) and ice cream.
The next morning was an early one. Up at eight, and drinking Mimosas by ten. I have never drank before noon in my young alcohol consumption career. Sad to say I now have. However, Mimosas are just delicious. Equally dangerous.
We arrived to the Annapolis Cup (croquet match between Navy and St. Johns College) at noon, and it was truly one of the best events. EVER. From the big hats, to the bow ties...the fashion was undeniable. The community found in the midshipmen at Navy is equally undeniable. They are all great people, and a blast to spend time with. So what was everyone wearing? Let me show you!
