Good Crazy

First a recap of the my last week:

Sunday, the 15th, I saw my lovely sister Rachel, and we headed to Dupont for gelato at Dolcezza.

Monday, my friend Rachel moved into Amsterdam earlier than expected, so I helped her with that and took over what would become Robin's room.

Tuesday, I headed to Philadelphia to see the Giants take on the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. While the Giants led early, the Phillies won 9-3 (the game was closer than the score indicates).  Unfortunately for the Giants, this loss began what would become a 2-4 road trip against the Phillies and Cardinals.  On the upside, I saw a family friend of ours who goes to school at the University of Pennsylvania and let me crash on his couch for the night.

Wednesday, I returned to DC and helped another friend of mine move into her fall housing assignment.  Afterward, she fed pizza to her moving army courtesy of her parents.  I was obviously very appreciative of the free food :)

Thursday, I worked my first double ever.

Friday, I moved downstairs from Rachel's room on the second floor, and all of my stuff was in one place for the first time since May.  I was ECSTATIC to see all of my boxes covering the living room :)  It didn't look QUITE this bad, but I realized just how much crap I had left over the summer.  Maybe it's time to purge through my stuff?

Saturday, I woke up early to help freshmen move into Thurston.  They were all adorable, so ready to start college, but scared by the entire process.  I remember feeling those emotions just two short years ago.  It's strange to think about how much I have changed since my 18th birthday.

Yesterday, I worked in the morning and found myself in Virginia by afternoon.  What I thought was going to be a short grocery shopping trip to the local Trader Joe's with my friend Lauren who had just returned to DC became an epic journey to Virginia with her brother and roommate.  On the way, we stocked up at Target and Shoppers Food Warehouse, one of the largest grocery stores I have ever seen.

Today, I slept in!  I met with Rabbi Yoni to discuss High Holiday services (I have somehow become the student coordinator) and went to Eli's with Robin, Lauren, and Lauren's roommates for some nice Kosher meat.  YUM!

Plans for the rest of the week: work, birthday, and prepping for classes!

Peace, love, and happiness.
