spring has come {and is almost gone}

Spring has fully blossomed, and summer is right around the corner. Warm days filled with outdoor dinners and lilac scented air. Fenway park and the sausage guy. Golf greens and twisted teas. Long bike rides and breezy dresses. Pardon my lack of posting yet again, but life has been a little crazy (work deadlines, class finals, emergency appendectomy, a jaunt to puerto rico...you catch the drift). Here's a little recap of what I've been up to this Spring:

To kick off the Spring season,  I went to opening day of the Red Sox with my co-worker Dave. It was the first opening day I've ever attended, and the weather was amazing. Dave and I got some really good tickets behind home plate for an expensive (don't hate me too much) 5 bucks. We used our employee discount, a very nice perk to my job, and spent the afternoon sipping on brews at the park. I also managed to watch a teensy bit of the game (I'm sorry, the people watching at Fenway is just TOO GOOD).

After a very classy night at Stats, a group of us jabronies created a talented rendition of the Call Me Maybe music video. This may have only reached 56 views, but Smirti's performance is Grammy worthy. He's breaking out all of his big-time dance moves (Ladies, get in line. He's single!). 

While I spent a winter working through lunch, I've taken the time now to enjoy many breezy lunch breaks on the lawn at Harvard Medical School, where I will be heading in the Fall!

......psyche. 

Actually, I just spend 30 minutes devouring my Clover Food Labs pita pockets while doing my best to absorb some amount of ultraviolet radiation:

Yum.

I spent Marathon Monday with two of my bests, sweltering at the sox game, then bar hopping throughout the back bay while cheering on the runners. Not going to lie, I was much happier sipping on Towne's white sangria then I would have been running that thing. But serious props to those who did it!

I then underwent the thrill of having my appendix surgically removed! What a fun time that was. At least it gave me a good excuse to drink unlimited peppermint milkshakes, watch tv all day, and receive awesome gifts of flowers and chocolate covered bananas from some loving friends.

I sported some flashy pink golf attire and hit the links a few times with the boys. I'm finally able to hit the ball, but let's just say my putting needs some work :-/. Above is Dougie teeing off on our St. Paddy's Day round.

I spent 10 glorious days in Vieques, a tiny island off the coast of Puerto Rico {more detailed post to follow}. It was so nice to just spend the days snorkeling turquoise waters, reading and napping in the sand, and hanging with my parents...but we missed you T + C!

And most importantly... resigned from my job. Only one month more until a summer with even better days spent by the pool, nights on the town, and very lazy weekends. I can't wait.
