Friday: My BFF Sarah came to visit for the weekend, after a spur of the moment decision on Thursday night. It made spending Friday studying so much better knowing that I was going to see her at the end of the day. Also, I am excited to mention her because I only recently told her about this blog and I know she reads it on the reg now! Hi, Sarah!
Saturday: I went for a hike! I know this might be embarrassing because I am from Maine and go to school in Virginia...two hiking heavy states...and I had never been before. We hiked Old Rag, which is in the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Shenandoah National Park area. Before going my friends (whose idea it was to go) had warned me that it wasn't exactly a novice trail, but we rationalized that since I had never been on a hike before, I wouldn't have anything else to compare it to...sound logic, right? It was tough for me and to be honest I wasn't super excited to go in the first place, but I am glad now that I can say I did it. Also, Tina Fey wrote about climbing Old Rag in her memoir, so I am mostly excited that I did something that she did too. I obviously took a ton of pictures because I needed proof for
My friend caught my efforts in trying to take a cool picture...the things I do for this blog!
The result of the picture above.
Overall, this weekend was a great way to say goodbye to Virginia and to the friends that I probably won't see until at least the spring. Now onto an NCLEX (nurse licensing exam) prep class this week and then graduation! I know I have mentioned the G word in so many posts lately, but I just can't help it...I am too excited!
What did you do this weekend?
Linking up here today!
Old Rag is SUCH a great hike, I"m SO GLAD you were able to get there before you move back to Maine. You had a great weekend to do it, such nice weather, right? Exciting about next weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove that you had a great first hike! I can't believe how nice it was this weekend--no heavy coats or scarves needed! Hope it wasn't too sad saying good bye to your BFF!!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite hikes. You were able to get some beautiful pictures. If you ever make it down to SWVA, The Channels is amazing and is not nearly as strenuous.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe hike is definitely worth those views!! Great job girl! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
