Life between college and the real world

So, for the last few months, I have had a lifestyle many people dream about. I have been done with school since April, and I do not start my job until July 21st. This means that for almost three months, I will have had pretty much no responsibilities or worries in the world (except for a paper I'm supposed to be writing, but we don't talk about that).

Here is a photographic rundown of what my life has entailed for the last two months.

After graduation, I went to Washington DC for my first real house hunting experience. I think it went very well, here are some pictures of my future apartment.




Next, my family went on vacation for two weeks. The first stop was to visit my brother, sister-in-law, and new baby niece in Austin, Texas. Her name is Leili and she is just over two months old now, but she was only three weeks old at the time so these pictures are already out of date!



After that, we went on a cruise aboard the Disney Wonder to the Bahamas!
















After the two week vacation, I went up north to Matt's cottage, where I got to go fishing!! Still havent caught a fish though :(



And finally, I made it back to Ann Arbor where my roommate and I celebrated the culmination of a fantastic year of living together with a small intimate gathering of friends (that's my story and I'm stickin' to it) :)



Now, only a few more weeks until I move to DC and have to actually become a grown up, yikes!

Big Ten Network

Well, I found out today that the Big Ten Network and Comcast cable have FINALLY reached a deal that puts the BTN on expanded basic cable in all big ten states (except Iowa, or something).

I am so excited to hear this, hopefully the other large cable companies will follow suit.

Although I will be living out of the big ten "footprint", as they call it, this at least means that I can watch BTN games on ORB, because I'm not sure if bars in Alexandria/DC will show Michigan football games even if they get the BTN. Hopefully since Michigan football is usually a pretty large draw, they would show it, but now I know I will be able to watch all of the games somehow!

Yay!

Its my turn

Well, I have officially entered the world of blogging. I figured since I am moving to Washington DC soon, this would be a good way to keep everyone updated on my adventures, and it seems like everyone else has a blog so i didn't want to be left out :) I probably won't really post anything until I actually move, just wanted to let you know that I've joined the blogosphere.
