haven't posted in a while ~ just returned to school from spring break. it was the busiest one ever, crammed w/GMAT studying & other work.

i did squeeze in a bit of fun though - i baked these amazing chocolate chip cookies that would have been even more amazing had i had good-quality chocolate - and i can't believe i forgot to take a photo! they were big & generous & had layers of chocolate inside - & they were amazing, fresh from the oven.

one of my roommates also came to visit for 2 days ~ we walked all over d.c. & even saw obama's motorcade! thrilling! also drove her around baltimore & suburbs.

here we are in front of the white house:
i went to the national archives for the first time! i can hardly believe they let us see the original declaration & constitution & bill of rights! so awesome.
historic ellicott city :) took these as i was driving through.


oh, and ever since i've gotten back to school, i've been daydreaming of the beach... not necessarily tropical beach, more like outdoorsy, kayaking-in-obx kind of beach. le sigh. so instead i cling to daydreams of frolicking on the beach in thailand in june. le sigh.

yesterday was so nice here tho. high seventies & sunny. long lunch outside, then lazed on the grass catching up w/friends. campus feels so different when the weather's nice & everyone's out. these are the sorts of days i want to remember as my last in college. :)
