Moving from Miami

My time in Miami is coming to a close. After the exam, Farley and I didn't do too much on Friday. We, obviously, had to go to the gym, run errands and clean the apartment. We spent a good two or three hours cleaning the apartment. On Saturday, our land lord come by to make sure we hadn't ruined the apartment so we could get our safety deposit back. After that, we continued our exciting times in Miami by packing. On Sunday, we headed to see some of Farley's family and started to pack our suit cases. Monday, we had to run all over Miami. We had to drop off some internet equipment, go to goodwill, take boxes to the post office, and we made a stop to get Cuban food one last time before dropping off the car at the rental agency. We decided to go to a movie since we were finished with our work earlier than anticipated. We saw An Education which is a coming of age story about a young girl who is seduced by an older man. It was good movie but not horribly exciting. It was what Farley calls "a people story". After the movie, we headed to school to print our boarding passes and such. Then we went out to Dan Marino's for Farley's birthday dinner. It isn't my favorite restaurant but it was very good.

Tuesday, I woke up early and got in a work out before finishing up my last little odds and ends before leaving. Farley's flight was at 2:30 and mine was at 5:00 so we were at the airport at 12:30. I thought that the airport would be super busy but it wasn't. Farley and I were flying on different airlines but luckily we were both sent to the same security place. I sat with him until he left then headed to get a late lunch. Finally, it was time for me to board the plane. We were headed to Denver, which is a four hour flight. I was on the aisle seat and there was a couple next to me. I feel asleep right after take off, but I was woken up by the gentleman's earphones next to me. I presume he was hard of hearing because I didn't have on the headphones, but I could hear the whole in flight movie. I managed to put it behind me and get back to sleep then the person in front of me pushed her seat back. I assumed this was an older woman with poor joints so I didn't say anything. Well, a few hours later I saw her and she was probably 22 years old. Gosh, I can't imagine pushing my seat back that far back. It seems a bit rude to me, especially for such a young woman (who was probably 5 foot 6 and 130Lb). As if that wasn't enough, the guy next to me started yelling out the names of the characters in the Harry Potter move that was playing. Then after the movie ended a t.v. show came on and he yelled "choo choo" when a train was on the show. I was beginning to wonder if there was something funny going on with him, but I'm still not sure. His wife was in window seat and I think she was a college professor. She was grading papers and her mannerism and dress just screamed professor to me. When the drinks came around, she made me laugh because she ordered a blood mary then continued grading papers. I'm sure she wasn't drunk, but it didn't seem that professional to me. Then again, maybe the papers were so bad that she needed a drink. The flight from Denver to Spokane was much less eventful. I was so excited to get home and get to bed; however, Mom and Dad had other plans. They got me a subscription to the New England Journal of Medicine. How exciting! I'm a member of the American Medical Student Association and they were having a deal with the New England Journal of Medicine a few weeks ago. The pamphlet arrived at my parent's house. Mom asked if I needed it and I said not at this point in my career but it would be fun and the price is fabulous. It was such a fun surprise. By the time I headed to bed, it was hard to believe that I had woke up in Miami.
