Fall Break!

This last week the dental school was gracious enough to give us a couple of days off.  However, they only gave us three days, and our break was the week before everyone else.  That meant I couldn't plan anything fun with my non-dental friends, and instead was left mostly to my own devices for entertainment!  Don't worry, I had a good time.  I managed to do all kinds of constructive activities like rearrange my living room furniture, and relocate my giant 8' x 8' surfer poster (which apparently made my living room look like a "surf shop").  Haha.  I also did some other home improvements.  However, the most exciting thing I got to do was go shopping!  Seriously, I very rarely go shopping, and even then I know that I have a very limited attention span.  However, I love shoe shopping!  Don't worry, I found myself a totally awesome pair of new shoes.  It probably bordered on an impulse purchase - okay, it was - but I haven't bought new shoes in a while.  Yay!

Me in the store attempting to convince myself
that I did, in fact, need these shoes!

Yes, these are my fabulous new boots!  Funny thing is I didn't realize just how tall they made me.  My over-6-foot friends who normally tower over me were nearly eye level.  Woah!  I kinda liked it...

Also, this is what happens when you hang out with a household of boys who like to show off their manliness by picking each other up.  It was a total crap show with me screaming "no," Ben yelling "yes," and Mark yelling that he needed a picture.  Really, why did none of the neighbors call the cops?
