Second Semester

It is April 30.  I have less than a month of this thing left.  Less than a month and I will know the feeling of immense, unending relief.  More relief than when I finished my Master's.  More relief than when I finished my Bachelor's.  But I can't start thinking about that relief yet.
It's still go time.  2 weeks then exams.  Really once I get the exams made, I'm home freeeeee.

This semester has literally flown by.  More weekend activities/trips were possible.
February was Mardi Gras ball in NOLA and basketball games/championships.

March was wedding showers, bachelorette fun and a wedding.

Also spring break... which I now refer to as the summer tease.  You get a glimpse of what your life will be like for 2 straight months.  But the cruel reality is you still have a SIGNIFICANT amount of school left.  Another 9 weeks.

April has been "Stay In Town" month.  After being out of town for something like 4 or 5 weekends in a row... it's been nice to stay put.  Between football/grove season in the fall and Double Decker festival this past weekend, I've really come to like Oxford because it means friends come to me.  I don't have to travel as much to see them.  So that's a first.  To live somewhere where you get a steady flow of visitors.  This also helps me keep my apartment clean on a more regular basis.  Chaperoned my first high school prom.  The theme was Midnight in Paris. So we dressed like this:


May.  May brings 3 more weddings.  And then it brings summer.  In Florida, we didn't get summer until the beginning of June.  Here we get summer before Memorial Day.  Summer sweet summer.  Just a little bit longer.
