How Time Flies!

I can't believe February is nearly over! This month has just flown by. And it seems that this year is quickly passing too. Hard to believe that I've been in DC for almost 6 months now. Starting in March we will be having next year's prospective volunteers coming for their interviews. It kind of feels like the beginning of the end...well, maybe that's a little extreme. But I really like DC and there's still so much going on here. Last week I went to see the Andy Warhol exhibit at the Corcoran with my housemate Katelyn. It was so neat to see some of those famous works of art in living colour. And I was also impressed with some of his other work. He really did have a diverse range of work. Very cool. I also got to do a little baby sitting this past weekend at the Lutheran church we've been attending. The parent's group met after church and my housemate Lauren and I got to be the lucky sitters. Little kids are so wonderful, and we really lucked out as there were no poopy diapers or crying eyes. Tons of energy though. Hmm, what else. I've been busy keeping up on the olympics here. I must say that the NBC coverage isn't quite the same but they did air the women's hockey gold medal game, so I can't complain too much. This past Monday was President's Day, aka no work day. So I took a nice little bike ride down through Rock Creek Park. DC is really an incredibly beautiful city. There is so much green space. I went on a ~20 mile bike through the city but for most of the time you would never have known you were in the city at all. Lots of beautiful bike trails here.

So weird story. We were sitting around tonight watching tv when the doorbell rang. Our neighbour from across the street, whom we have never met, was at the door with a bucket full of oysters. I think he was maybe offering to give us some but either he was drunk or very socially inept because it was really difficult to figure out what he was intending. He was telling us about the oysters, how he got them, if we knew how to open them, then saying "stupid idea" multiple times. Very awkward and strange. So he just took his oysters home. Weird.

Well it's Sunday night and that means Grey's Anatomy will soon be on and I must be off. Until next time...
