It's Friday!

It's Friday, and it could not have come soon enough! This term seems like it is moving at a glacial pace so each time the weekend rolls around it is definitely cause for celebration.

As the term is beginning to wind down, and graduation is looming over our heads it seems each weekend is begging to be packed full of fun and adventure. This weekend is no exception. With the amazing weather Corvallis has been having lately (sun in May, what a concept!) it seems BBQ season is in full force.

One of my closest friends finished up her Chemical Engineering degree at the end of last term and is getting ready to head out to North Carolina to start her new job. To say goodbye she is hosting a BBQ here in Corvallis tonight and a smaller going away gathering next weekend in Portland. It'll be sad to see her go, but lucky for us Raleigh and D.C. are only four hours away so we have plans to see each other over the summer!

After that shin-dig I will be heading over to Andrea's for her first BBQ of the summer. She just wrote a post about the work she put into getting her house ready, so you should check it out!

I won't be able to stay up too late though, tomorrow I am waking up early to catch my flight to Spokane, Washington for my cousin Hannah's graduation. It will be nice to be reunited with my family for a weekend and celebrate Hannah being done with school! I am also excited to see her commencement speaker, Desmond Tutu, who is an inspiration.

All in all it should be a great weekend full of family, friends, and celebration!
