Palm Springs Weekend

So the #BestSemesterEver is off to a kicking start!

A few weeks ago my friends and I decided to kick off second semester 3L with a trip to Palm Springs for the long weekend. My friend’s family has a house there which was unoccupied for the long weekend so on Friday we packed up to Occupy Palm Springs.

I love the desert. I love the mountains and how they felt right on top of us.

I love the California sunshine. Never leaving.

We had a great weekend and it was so nice to be reunited with all my friends. I’m going to miss these weekends when law school is over. These people are some of the best ever.

Over the long weekend I:

Ate approximately 1,000 tortilla chips
Ran 3 miles in the shadow of the mountains

Watched the sun set
Jammed 5 people into my friend’s 1988 red BMW convertible blasting New Order
Consumed a 27 oz. “skinny” margarita

Ate numerous Mexican meals
Spent hours in the pool/hot tub
Helped my female friends dominate my guy friends at mini golf
Narrowly avoided a go-karting crash
Drove through Indian Country (I’ve been nerding out on Federal Indian Law and tribal law all year)
Picked citrus from trees, including monster lemon

Drank white sangria from aforementioned fruit
Put a clown noise on a dog.
Watched the Clippers own the Lakers, while also watching “sexting in suburbia” #ClipperNation
Cooked family dinner consisting of build your own tacos, quesadillas, and lemon bars

Walked into a cactus while trying to get to Starbucks. Whoops.

This semester is shaping up to be the best semester ever!

How did you spend your long weekend?

What a fun weekend! Love the look of that marg.

One of my good friends flew down from SF (I hadn’t seen her in a year and a half) and we did a bunch of touristy LA things – Hollywood and Highland, hike to the Hollywood Sign, going out, Sunday Brunch. Just realized it probably merits a post of its own.

I haven’t been to the desert in a while. I miss it.

My long weekend consisted of plenty of Mexican food, some running and watching football.

Feeling Pretty February 22, 2012

I’m normally not too concerns about looking “pretty” while I run. I love working out and my favorite workouts are super sweaty. That’s why I’m the girl in yoga who wants the teacher to crank up the heat and who jumps into the front row at zumba to sweat her face off. This is why [...]

Hey gang. Remember when I looked like this? And this? Look at those legs! I like to imagine they ALWAYS look that hardcore when I run. Side note: that’s my bro behind me. How can I get his cut jaw line? It’s been nearly 4 months since the Chicago marathon and I thought I’d update [...]
