Insane Happenings and the Sky Keeps Tumbling Down
Well, comprehensives are over. I should find out today if I passed them or if I need to retake any sections. A bit nervous I am.
After comps. Cindy took me to Giovanni's in Dupont to celebrate. For those of you who have been there with me, you know it's probably my favorite Italian restuarant in the city. For those of you who haven't been there; you provide me with an excuse to go again! Dinner was great and then we headed back to our hotel ( becuase I planned on being really inebriated!) and then hit Adam's Morgan for 80s night at Heaven and Hell. Great night, ended in a good night's sleep (the first for me in about a month). The weather was so nice in DC the next day that we stay downtown and acted like tourists. Our tours took us mostly to breweries and restaurants (wonder how that happened?!). We had a nice lunch/dinner at Clyde's in Chinatown with the Mayor in the next booth and then spent the evening playing pool at Buffalo Bill's. Must also make note that I got to meet Cindy's new man, Dave. The boy works for Gallup so we wandered the halls of the Gallup building where we found that in our socks we can slide across the hardwood floors. Probably not supposed to do that!
It's now spring break and I have yet to enjoy it. I have a project due tonight and am nervous that the rest of my time will be studying for sections of the comps. I did go to dinner and a concert last night though (cuz I scheduled it before this damn project). Cindy, her friend Annie, her brother Jon (from Vermont), and I had dinner at this great tapas place called Tabaq on U street. We ate on the roof which has a panoramic view of DC; it was beautiful. Then we hit the 9:30 club for Blackalicious! For those of you who don't know, I heard Blackalicious at Mystic when I was sitting for my 2 and a half hour tattoo. Good hip-hop band that totally rocks however the crowd that was there were a bunch of white-bred teeny-boppers in their Abercrombie. For Cindy, the anthropologist, it must have been a study in cultural barriers. I have to say that I felt a bit like a chaperone. After the concert we stopped at the institution of Ben's Chili Bowl for chili cheese fries and then it was time to drive home.
Now, I sit and wait for my results and go to class. Wish me luck y'all.
PS. This is going to sound really vain, but who is looking at my profile that it has been viewed 93 times? I know it ain't my friends!
