I feel really strange right now. I feel like I have homework to do... but I don't. I'm not really enjoying this feeling.
Anyways, finals went good. I passed all my classes and I have a few new and more exciting projects to put in my apartment. I already have my DI print up. I gotta decide on what to do with my steel print. I love it. It looks exactly like a tin type and that was exactly what I was going for.
Um. Right after class on Friday I headed out to the airport to get to DC. My flight was an hour late, which made me late to pick up my rental car, so I had to rent a mustang convertible from another rental service. It was a fun car, believe that. When I got into town Cory and I just passed out... that is after I had to call Jane to get directions and the time because I left the invitation in a magazine.. that I gave to a guy on the airplane.. Way to go Emily. haha. So the wedding was really pretty and short. Lots of hot marines. The reception was so nice. It was the perfect place for a medium sized gathering. Cory and I got to meet some of Nick and Jane's friends that were at our table. They were all really nice and fun to hang out with. Anyways, Cory and I stayed till the end, which was like 5 and we headed back to the hotel for a mini nap and some dinner. We went out to see the monuments at night. I love seeing the monuments. Usually it never meant a big deal to me, they were just important structures that have a lot of background. But now that I have close friends in the military, it was a whole different experience. I'm glad I got to see it with Cory cause we talked about the military and his view of the war and it was great to not only hear a friends point of view, but also a Navy soldiers point of view.
The next day we went back to The Mall to see the wall and to go to the Air and Space museum. After that we went back to the hotel to wait for his friend to pick him up and I had to check out early from the hotel because Nick and Jane wouldn't let me stay at the hotel that night alone.. haha. So Cory's friend was taking too long so we went out to get lunch and then said bye. Then I headed out to Nick's to play Guitar Hero (which is like my favorite game now) and go see X-Men 3. Then, I couldn't believe they did this, but on Monday they were supposed to start their honeymoon by going down to south VA but they decided to go next weekend so that they could hang out with me on Monday. I literally teared up. I still can't believe they did that. Well, then on Monday we went shopping to get cheap stuff off of the military department stores and then we went to the botanical gardens. Nice place. Then we went to this place that sells REALLY cheap designer purses that looks EXACTLY like the real stuff. I compared this coach purse to mine and I could not find one thing different. So I bought it.. haha. The one that I wanted they didn't have any left so Jane said that she would get it for me later and I can pay her back. Anyways, then we dropped off the rental and headed out to the airport where we said bye. I had such a great time and I already miss VA/DC. I really enjoy that area.
Let's see here. This weekend is gay pride weekend in Denver so I'm letting my friend from Boulder stay with me so he can partake in the activities. Then I work on Monday and Tuesday and then leave early Wednesday for Florida. I'll be in Florida until Thursday (the 8th) so everyone get ready for a good time.
Well, I guess I'm going to go and take care of some stuff. Hope all is well and I'll post some pictures later!!
