I cannot believe that this is the last post of my freshman year! It's been good. Let me do the quickie update of this past week:
LAST FULL WEEK OF CLASSES!
That was exciting. I still had a paper left to finish, but for the most part, it was just learning about what the finals would cover.
EXPLORING SD
My dad came into town for a medical conference downtown, so I got to join him for a couple of days. We toured the USS Midway, the huge aircraft carrier. It was really neat to see what it was like on the inside! I also spent a lot of time in Seaport Village doing some people watching, shopping, and eating. I ended my mini-vacation wandering the beautiful parks around the marina and reflecting on everything that has happened this past year. Below, I pose by the beds in the Midway. Thankfully, dorms have a bit more space :)
BEACH DAY!
My friend Caiti and I spent all day Saturday down at Mission Beach. In the morning, we tried our hands at surfing. The waves were HUGE! I for sure need some more practice but it was a lot of fun :) I took my boogie board out later and had a blast catching the waves and riding them into shore. No beach day is complete without a nap in the sand and a good ol' sunburn. Check and check! Glad I invested in some aloe....
CONCERTS
Last night was so much fun! Lupe Fiasco and Shiny Toy Guns played a rockin' concert to benefit Invisible Children. Much of the school turned out and enjoyed the pounding bass and energy.
THE END
Two days of class, two study days, and finals begin, then it is time for SUMMER! I am really excited to go home and spend some quality time with my family and friends. I have enjoyed keeping you all updated on my life and showing you a little but of what life is like at USD! Hope you have a fabulous summer!
See you next year,
Avery
