What a week!! I started the week with my birthday, on the 14th. I had one final, and then my parents took me to dinner. It wasn't very eventful, but I loved dinner with my family.
Tuesday was packed with 5 finals and I also checked out of my dorm room. After my last final, my friend Erica and I went out for ice cream and celebrated the fact that I survived 5 finals in one day!
Wednesday I was up bright and early at 6 for my brother's college graduation from Ramapo College of New Jersey. I could not be prouder of my big brother and all that he has accomplished. He graduated with the highest of honors, summa cum laude, as well as multiple honors societies. We were so happy to see him walk across stage, with all the colorful chords hanging over his robe. After lunch with my family and TONS of pictures, my sister Jess and I, along with our friend Suz, went to the Prudential Center to a "viewing party" of the Devils vs. Rangers game. We had so much fun with all the other Devil's fans, and Suz and I even got a new Devils shirts! It was SO MUCH FUN!
Thursday was another early morning, but very exciting. My friend Erica and I went to a live taping of the cooking talk show, The Chew. We drove into the city, got Starbucks, waited on line, and had an amazing time. Once inside, we saw all the co-hosts, and we even talked to Daphne Oz about her cute shoes! After seeing the taping, I returned my textbooks at school and took my friend home. I finally got home, just in time to help my mom bake and get a ton of other things ready for my brother's graduation party.
Friday, my parents woke my brother and I up early to help pack the car of everything needed for the party at my Aunt's house. We packed my brother's jeep and my parent's expedition to the brim! I had fun driving down to my Aunt's house with my brother. We listened to music, laughed, and had a good time. After we unloaded the car, we got to putting together center pieces, and finalizing everything.
Saturday, the big day had finally come. 130 people came to my Aunt's house to celebrate my brother's graduation from college. There was so much food and fun times with my family and friends. I had a great time, and so did my brother and all of our guests.
Sunday, finally a little relaxation. My cousins and I spent the day by the pool until it was time to load the car and head back home. I came home and rushed right back out, to celebrate my Big sister's graduation at our favorite place, The Colorado Cafe, where we line danced, and had a great time!
This past week, and the weeks leading up to it, have been so jam-packed and stressful. I haven't had a free five minutes, it's just been non-stop. With summer classes starting tomorrow, and babysitting 3 days a week, I hope I still find time to enjoy my summer and spend time with friends.
