Seattle and San Clemente in the Spring

Back into the swing of things here at school already! Last week was spring break, and I was lucky enough to go home to Seattle for the first half, and spent the second half at my friend's beach house in San Clemente. I got to experience the best of both worlds! This last week, Seattle experienced some crazy weather conditions, including dumping rain, raining moderately, drizzling, and only raining a little bit. During my descent into Seattle, the clouds parted and I was able to take an awesome picture of downtown and the Sound.

I had a wonderful time catching up with my family and friends.  The second half of my break in San Clemente was equally as fun! I was there with three of my best friends.  We had a house to ourselves, and because of the mediocre weather, ended up spending most of our time inside. We watched movies, cooked meals together, and I was able to read the Hunger Games in two days.  The one day we went to the beach, it was so windy and cold, this is what we looked like:

     

By the way, my friend, Miriam, is a photographer, and I have her to thank for these beautiful pictures. Now, I'm back at school and continuing my summer internship search! Most of my midterms were before break so my classwork is substantially smaller. (Thank goodness!) I'm also feeling lucky because I don't have to stress myself out over registration for fall classes or room draw for next year! Going abroad is already making things so much easier!
