Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day!  Alex didn't have work today so he was super sweet and brought me lunch from Dalessandro's.  It was nice to take a break from studying to hang out with the hubs.
     
 We got a new camera on Sunday so Alex brought it to school to try it out :)
     
Alex brought his kindle so we could both read together.
 
Happy Memorial Day Moo girl!  She was excited to have someone at home to hang out with her :)

All Work and No Play Makes Laura A Dull Girl

Less than three weeks until I get my life back!!!  I have been doing nothing but studying for the boards since I got back to Philly and I am SICK of it!  I have not done anything even remotely fun, so unfortunately, no exciting pictures :( 
   
The study lounge I have been spending my life in.  I usually get there first so it is empty.
   
This is my desk.  I claimed it.  It has been mine all year and you will not sit in it if you know what is good for you!  If you go to Drexel, you know these facts.  I like it because it has walls and is in a corner so that I don't get distracted by people.
   
My little desk!  What a sad state of life... describing my desk for fun.

Lisa's College Graduation Weekend

I finished up with my exams last Tuesday and flew home to North Carolina that night for Lisa's graduation celebrations!  I had not been back to NC or seen my family in over five months!!  It was very nice to get a break from school and spend a few relaxing days with the family :)  Alex drove down to NC on Friday night with the furry one.  It was a quick trip, as usual, but we enjoyed seeing everyone!
     
Lisa and her friends at the Nursing Graduation Ceremony!

Officially a nurse!
  
The Nursing Graduation was held in the Dean Dome!  I have not been in there since my Biology Graduation Ceremony two years ago.

Stewie's family had a graduation party that night at their house in Durham.

The big graduation ceremony!!  It looked like it was about to rain during the entire ceremony until Chancellor Thorp pronounced the Class of 2011 as official graduates and the sun peeked through and lit up the student section for a few seconds!
