Weekend in review:

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Brooke

On Friday I went to instacare (seriously, I am pathetic) but I was having pretty bad knee pain that had progressed throughout the week. I went in and they told me that my bursa was inflamed. RUDE! They gave me an anti-inflam and told me to take it easy. I went into work late and limped around ALL DAY.

After work, I went over to Stef’s house and caught up with her and Vig. It was good to see those two! After that I came home and spent a ridiculous amount of time putting together my graduation announcements. I was SO excited to send those puppies out.

Friday morning, I woke up bright and early and headed to the Huntsman Cancer Screening. I love this event! It’s so important to get your creepy moles checked out – go and doooo it.

I got to take some flowers up to the ICU – so pretty.

After HCI (we saw 316 patients, btw!) I headed to Park City with Stef, Jackie and Vig to see our friends (new city skyline) play a show.
We were superstars:

The band did great, per usual.

Sunday I got compliments all day:

Great weekend!

LOVES,

Last group project in college. OF ALL TIME.

You know how normally group projects are just the worst thing to happen to your life? Not this time! I got into a group for my politics and persuasion class that was absolutely amazing. You see, we had to do a press conference for a political candidate running for President of the United States. Our candidate was a country cowboy from Mississippi who was fighting for your right to own and operate a water gun. Our candidate’s name was Wade Lee Hogue.Â

Hogue rode in on a stick horse named Tony.

He gave a great speech. You can watch it here:

Aside from a his brief Marco Rubio moment, I’d say he knocked it out of the park.

The visuals looked great:

All in all I ended my college career of presentations on a strong note.

LOVES,

bang, bang.

First off: HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my favorite 18-year-old sissy! Special note to you because I think you may or may not be the only person who actual reads this thing (other than me, of course): I love you! Thank you for everything you do and for being one of my greatest friends. I would simply be lost without you and your wisdom/hilarity. You’re the best mom, friend, and older sis. I hope you were spoiled rotten today and just you wait till I see you next (ahem, BIRTHDAY PREZZZZIE).

Anywhoooz, I slept in today and it felt GREAT. Later in the afternoon I thought I’d bug Meli and see if she could do my hair – and she could/did.. Thanks, boo! I’ve spent the rest of the evening working on a school project for next week:

More on that later – I am off to watch season 1 of Weeds.

LOVES,

TGIF.

Today was such a beautiful day! (well, after it rained for a few hours in the morning).

Trees are starting to bloom and birds are chirping all around – I love this time of year. Tonight after work I took myself to a movie and I even got myself a popcorn.

I LOVE YOU.

Just going to dust off here old blog again.

So, to start where I left off, on Friday I went to my internship and had a grand ole time! Afterwards, I got some take away and came home and crashed out. Despite being bothered by my partying neighbors, I rested up and relaxed. On Saturday, I went on a sibling day date with Meli and Mark. We went and got some lunch at Chipotle and then went and saw Django Unchained. So glad that I got to spend time with mah fam.

After the movie, I made my way east and attended my friend Rachel’s bridal shower. It was lots of fun and I got to see Katie who was visiting from out of town! We were just a little bit excited to see each other….

Sunday was the big easter dinner. I remember my mom always getting a honey-baked ham (like, the legit kind), making a bunny cake and potato salad. Wish that little bunny was here in UT this year. I got and gave lots of hugs and cuddles:

This week has been really busy. On Monday, I worked on a project and stayed at work until 7p.m. – on Tuesday, a SVP from Cohn & Wolfe came to my Absolute Communication class to talk to us. Very interesting! On Wednesday my professor and a few students and I had lunch with Sacheen (the SVP from Cohn & Wolfe) and we got to ask her any/all professional questions we had. My favorite things she said were to take advantage of everything – That even though it’s expensive, no amount of expense could ever not be worth the experience of living in New York – Know the opportunities and things you want to get and make those opportunities for yourself.Â
