So sorry for my extended absence! Grad school isn’t all fun and games, you know? (Regardless of the fact my last two posts featured field trips field studies). No, but really—there has been a LOT going on. A lot.
I just realized I left you hanging on a limb with my park & ride story. Well, I’m certainly over it now. But here’s the quick version: I rode the max back from the zoo and walked the four flights of stairs in the blistering sun to find my car. But when I arrived to my compact spot, I saw a not-so-compact car (aka 4x4 Super Truck) parked (crookedly) over my line. I was rather annoyed when I attempted to open my car door…and couldn’t even shove my purse (or “duffle bag,” as Ryan so nicely describes it) through the crack. Knowing full well that I was going to have to crawl through the door and over the seats (in a skirt, no less), I took a minute to pout—and I’m not ashamed to admit it! Burning my skin on the hot seats, I finally managed to crawl into my seat. No sooner realizing, of course, that the door was still open on the other side of the car. I wriggled my way back out and stretched as far as I could and slammed the door shut. I then carefully backed out of the spot, put my car in park and grabbed my backpack. I scribbled down a rather nasty note (minus profanities… I took the high road in the moment!), and left it under the drivers windshield wipers. I was certainly not pleased to find how inconsiderate some people can be. I told the driver that they were surely quite lucky that I did not hit their car, as it would have been easy. Oh well. I did take a picture of it that I had planned on sharing with you all…but alas; I cannot find my camera cord at this moment. But the picture doesn’t do it justice, and I end up looking like an overreacting fool.
That weekend I went with Ashley to the Hood River area in the Gorge (not George, which we kept saying to everyone we met…). It was GORGEous! Hardy har har…
We were in search of beautiful wedding venues! Ash is getting married next summer! When did we all the sudden become grown ups? Ain't this view grand?
This is Ashley: The Bride (I'm her Maid of Honor! That's right, folks!)
One of the venues had an old Fruit Company on their property, which was so rustic and beautiful!
Ryan and I went to his friend’s wedding that weekend as well. We thought we took pictures to share… but turns out we just took a bunch of videos, “Did it work?” “I don’t know? Did it click? I can’t tell!” Well, clearly not J Oh well…
Back to school, eh? Well…here’s the deal. Since I’ve been MIA for quite a few days I feel like it might be better to talk about each subject in a separate post. That way, this one post wont be a HUGE novel and those who just want to skip science and go straight to the arts (where the drama—no pun intended—happens) feel free!
Hope you’re enjoying the afternoon sunshine!
