Birthday Celebrations Part 2: Charlotte Edition

Back to the grind today, but first… weekend recap!

So on the agenda in Charlotte this weekend were a few more birthday events (even though the weather was not cooperating.. grrrr).  On Friday night, Ryan and I headed to Fahrenheit for dinner.  It’s a very cool spot on top of the Hyatt Hotel with panoramic views of the skyline and the food & drinks were great!  I am taking off a star though for the parking situation.. the valet is a whopping $7!!!  I’m sorry but that’s overkill.  Pretty much everywhere uptown (other than the Epicentre) is complimentary so be forewarned.

After dinner we met our friends at Cowbell for some drinks & spiked milkshakes.  It was great to catch up and we even had some free entertainment provided by the couple next to us who were basically getting it on.  Ear licking and lots of whispering sweet nothings.  I can’t.

Saturday was another rain-filled day but we ran some errands & got massages.  I was seriously sick of the weather by this point.  But on Sunday, the sun finally came out and we spent some outdoors (yay!) at the park.  This was definitely a more low-key weekend, but I still had a great time with Ryan and my besties.  It’s still so hard to leave on Sundays!

Semester 3 out of 7 starts today!  Our faculty are providing us breakfast (how sweet) and this afternoon we head to the hospital for orientation & badges.  One of our classes this semester is clinical assessment, where we spend one afternoon a week at a clinical site to shadow, take histories, etc.  Basically, we have a little less time in the classroom and actually get to see patients!!!

PS.  For those of you who liked these LOFT eyelet pants, the whole site is 50% off today with FREE SHIPPING!  Just use code CYBER50.  I despise paying shipping anywhere so I’ll definitely be picking up some more pants today.
