Busy, busy spring

It's been an eventful semester here, to say the least! Classes, work, and life in general have been keeping me busy. Here are some highlights from the past month in SC...

Comprehensive Exams aka "Comps" -- The second years in the program took comps in late February and everyone celebrated the end of the big day. After the exam ended, all the second years could touch the 'horse' out in front of the School of Ed...tradition says touching it before the exam means you'll fail!

GARP -- The recruitment weekend for our program was right before spring break. It was a very full couple of days (and weeks of planning) with interviews, etc, but very exciting to meet future classmates!

Lauren, Erin and me - the three of us spent a lot of time together leading up to GARP!

Spring break -- Ashley and I made the trek to Richmond for a sisters' weekend. It was a fabulous time...we explored Amy's new city, ate lots of great food, and had a great time with each other. Not to mention, the weather was perfectly sunny and warm for us!

We met up with Amy's college roommate, Nicole, too!

Charleston -- Several girlfriends and I took a short trip to Charleston over the break...again, the theme continued...great weather and food, and so much fun!

Enjoying the beach...even though it wasn't quite warm enough for swimsuits!
