I had an amazing weekend. We went to the horse races on Saturday after we went shopping the day before to find dresses that would work for the occasion. The theme was plum, patterns and metallic. I had a black dress with silver stripes and lots of jewelry, including feathers in my hair. We got picked up by my friend Tim and Tessa, Mallory and I all went to the races and met up with his friends. We started with gin and tonics at noon because the goal of the races is to drink and place bets. There were so many outrageous dresses. It was amazing. The people who dress up for the contests have some of the craziest outfits I have ever seen. There was a woman who had a multicolored chiffon dress with a gold jumpsuit underneath held together with gold rings and a huge matching hat. She made it into the newspaper the next day. We headed home in the evening and went to a few after party BBQs because the crowds were so big at the event. It made me think of a little less ritzy Kentucky Derby, which only makes me want to see the one in Kentucky.
School has been going really well and my community engagement project is fantastic. I am really happy here and still love my roommates.
Lots of love to all!
