President's Day!

Kristine and I decided to take advantage of our day off by going shopping at Pentagon City. Although we were able to find more affordable items than we did in Georgetown last weekend, we didn't buy much. The President's Day sales were few and far between...a bit disappointing really. However, the purchases we did make were great. I bought a vest (something I've been wanting for quite some time), a pair of earrings from Macy's (on sale, of course!), and a few pairs of needed dress socks for work. Kristine got a cute black shirt, some mascara, a needed pair of flats, and she finally got her Obama t-shirt. We considered it a successful shopping adventure, and we enjoyed having some time to ourselves.

I crammed in my reading just before class, which was clearly a waste of my time, as we have still yet to cover any material from our book. I'm usually up for getting professors off topic, but I just can't handle sitting through two hours of class and not accomplishing anything. I'd rather be doing one of a million other things than getting a very large headache from a man teaching in sweatpants. Call me crazy.

It feels as though I haven't been to work in weeks, so I'm ready to go back tomorrow morning. I've been warned that we won't have much work to do while Congress isn't in session, but I find it hard to believe that there won't be any special projects that need attention while the Senator is out. We'll just have to wait and see.
