A Mild Summer

So I just want to start off by saying I have been damn lucky - the weather here in DC has been more than tolerable. Usually it is sweltering and humid but it has been great, some really hot days but overall its been awesome! This last weekend was so much fun. I went to my first nationals game!! And although it was no Yankees (thanks Peter!) it was still a blast, plus I got to hang out with my good buddy Mike. Saturday night, my friend Monica came down and we went to DC United game which was AMAZING. For those who have been to sporting events with me or even just watched a game, I get a little rambunctious and I found my kindred spirits - plus I have been playing soccer since I was 4 (INTRAMURAL WHIGS UNITED!). I was covered in beer by the end of the game. We sat by the Real World kids - seriously if I see them one more time... they are lame I miss the old days of Boston, Miami, even Chicago! The kids are way too trendy for their own good, I just saw 7 too thin, ultra hip kids being followed by a greasy camera man and instantly recognized them after Lauren and I saw them in DuPont Circle. DC really is a small city...
Tonight my roommates, some other friends and I are going to Screen on the Green. The city runs old classics on a huge screen and everyone sits on the mall and watches and tonight's movie is Close Encounters of the Third Kind.... which is in my top 5 favorite movies. It shall be epic. And this weekend I am heading back to Jersey for a couple days - I miss my friends and I also have my annual rafting trip on Saturday. I can't wait to see everyone!!

My internship is going great, still working on my grants and making some serious headway. It has been a great experience. For anyone in DC on Wednesday there is a rally for Darfur. It is essential that people are there, it is an amazing cause!! Nothing too exciting at the museum just another fun weekend, although I have noticed that I am exhausted by Sunday nights after being on my feet both days.

So I attached some pictures my friend Monica took at the game. Unfortunately, my camera for some reason has just decided that it isn't going to work anymore so I won't have photos but hopefully I find a cheap camera soon (cough DAD cough)
