reuniting

There is something about summer that enables people to come out of hyphenation, clear their social calendars of unnecessary obligations and reconnect with their friends.  Reuniting with friends is a pretty fantastic way to enjoy a warm summer evening if I do say so myself.  The crew pictured above are the fantastic women that endured two years of grueling graduate school with me.   We sat through hours of class together, studied in each others company and ate a lot of snacks.   It was really special to coordinate a special night out simply for the purpose of enjoying each others company without highlighters and research articles in hand.   We were able to catch up on what everyone's been up to now that our paper-writing and lecture listening days are behind us.
