goodbye, janice!

On Thursday, Janice and I visited her favorite Vegetarian café for a last dinner out. Honestly, the soy chicken was much better than I expected! I will have to try cooking it myself sometime. The highlight for sure was this mint cookies and crème vegan cake – delicious! I’m sure Janice wished she could buy a box full of the cakes and ship them home. :)

After dinner, I hopped on the metro to visit the Natural History Museum. I decided to swing by the White House first, to take a few pictures. I got a bit lost and was wandering around the Ellipse a while before finding the front of the White House. Unfortunately, I spent too much time walking through the city and didn’t make it to the Natural History Museum before they closed. I will have to try and make it back there another day.



Friday was Janice’s last day at work, and I was sad to see her go! Per our Summer Associate tradition, we all went to Chevy’s after work. I got a good chance to chat with another Social Psychologist (Dena, who goes to Princeton), and it’s great that I will get to reconnect with her at conferences and other events. Janice ended up arriving late to her own party (she was waiting for the FedEx guy) – but at least we had an hour or so of fun before we had to say goodbye. Janice was off for a two week vacation in Mexico, and I have two weeks of LOTS of work to look forward to. And no Janice to commiserate with. :(
