Hope everyone is enjoying their week! This week is a little bit short for me since I took Monday off for President's Day. I went back to my college campus to visit my friends and help my dance team with some choreography for their showcase. I had the most jam-packed weekend ever and am feeling super tired, so I'm going to do a mini update and share what I did during the weekend.
I got in on Saturday afternoon and spent the day exploring campus, hanging out with my sorority little and seeing a few of my best friends who graduated with me. I tried one of the new counter-service restaurants that opened up right near campus, which was a yummy kebab place. I wanted to make it to our lacrosse game, but unfortunately, I didn't end up going and it was so cold anyway that I probably would not have wanted to sit there. In the evening, I went out with friends for pho and Vietnamese food; I'm not the biggest pho fan so I got the shrimp fried rice with coconut curry sauce and it was SO good! Then, of course, we stopped at The Charmery for ice cream and 13.5% Wine Bar for drinks.
Sunday was a full day of brunch at the wonderful Miss Shirley's Cafe, followed by a dance rehearsal, catching up with friends, and going to my sorority's chapter meeting. My intention in going was to see as many people as I could in one place, but I was so glad that I decided to go because I felt right at home with all of the sisters and got to see our beautiful new member class! Some things about chapter were certainly different as an alumna, but it was also nice knowing the full routine and all the ritual that goes into chapter meetings. As they say, the more things change, the more they stay the same!
Monday was another full day of working in the morning, followed by meetings with two of my old professors and more dance practice. I am so impressed with our team and can't wait to see how they perform at our show. Last year, our major auditorium on campus was under construction so we had to have our showcase at an outside venue, but this year the building is finished and absolutely stunning. As you can see from the photo above, they added a bright mural highlighting our university's crest that really makes the building stand out. I hope that I can attend the show in person to see all the updates made to the inside of the building as well!
All in all, the weekend was so full of fun and friends that I really can't wait to be back for our homecoming once it's a bit warmer outside. The campus truly comes alive during the spring semester and I find myself more and more thankful every time I go back to visit. Hope you all had a lovely President's Day!
