April 6: Recuperating

I haven't been doing much today but recuperating from Street Fest and planning and preparing for tomorrow.  I took a break to play rummikub on my phone.  I never win against the computer! :)

April 5: International Street Festival

International Street Festival is a wonderful event held in downtown Athens.  Faculty, staff, students, and the community come out to celebrate a variety of cultures.  There are performances and musical acts, and 30 tables with international activities to try.  We had approximately 5000 people show up, and stay for the day.  It was a huge success and I'm excited to have been a part of it!

We couldn't have done it without an amazing group of volunteers!

April 4: Street Fest Loading

Tomorrow is our big event in downtown Athens and we are loading up all the vans with the materials...including a helium tank! Cory had to roll that thing slowly as it was heavy and awkward.

April 3: Surprises

Today is my sister's birthday and she's traveling.  However, I got a fun surprise in the mail from my mom and sister in celebration of almost being done! I got a couple of different things including a book for my upcoming trip to Hawaii!  Thanks mom & CJ!

April 2: Baxter

Baxter really likes to cuddle up and always be touching you! Sweet pup.

March 30: Urban Plate

Today I met up with Joanna.  She was the site leader for my trip to South Africa.  I had asked her to bring back some of the tea that Dr. Cooper loved so much.  I plan to give it to Dr. Cooper as part of her gift on my dissertation defense... she'll be so excited and thrilled.  She raved about this tea for months after I brought it back and couldn't find it anywhere!  Also, Jo and I met up at this place called urban plate for brunch.  It was vegan and delicious!

March 29: Salad

I love spring and summer because of fresh strawberries (and a bunch of other reasons as well).  Tonight I put chicken, strawberries, and avocado on my salad! Yumm!
