The "Oops, I Forgot You" List

Throughout the semester, I have gradually gathered a collection of miscellaneous photos that either didn't merit its own blog post or didn't come into my possession until too late. In simpler words, it is a group of miscellaneous photos from the semester that I "forgot" to post on the blog. Now that I am back home in my comfy bed that easily persuades me not to do thesis work, I have decided to unleash the small, yet substantial beast - the "Oops, I Forgot You" List.

The First Weekend: Nats Game
Funny Tidbit: We bought cheap seats on the night of, so were at the very top and I did not bring my glasses. I wish I could say it was a good game, but I honestly wouldn't know...

Ray's Burger in Rosslyn - HOLY BURG, BEST BURGER EVER.
Warning: If you are meeting someone here, make sure you tell each other the exact location because there happens to be three! Yup, I do know from experience... (Not that it is really a huge deal since they are across the street from one another, but STILL can be awkward if it is with the right person. Just trying to help a pal out.)

By the river in Georgetown
Meet the Press[ure]: We woke up early one Sunday morning to go to the set of Meet the Press with David Gregory!
...Sadly, no funny stories with the last two. These pictures just happen to be chilling here.

So, awkward. This so-called "collection" is a lot smaller than I remembered. To make up for this lack of comedy through images, I will provide comedy through words. Sorry for those who are illiterate!!!

Notable tweets from the semester (Warning: Some may or may not be political. I mean I wasn't in DC or anything like that...):
