Volleyball Nationals

This year Volleyball Nationals happened to fall right on the weekend after my graduation and before Zac's hooding and commencement. It also happened to be in Dallas this year. We were excited because that meant we'd have the chance to catch up with our favorite friends, The Thorntons--YAY! In the beginning only Zac was going to be playing. He plays with MIT's GVC (Graduate Volleyball Club) team. However, my bud, Darcy, asked me to play with her as the eighth member on her team since I was already planning to be there to watch Zac play. I figured I wouldn't get a lot of play time, but in the end, I played every game as outside hitter and had a total blast! Thanks Darcy and team.
I had the opportunity to play with the funnest, most amazing women! They are from all across the nation, have incredible lives, are very smart and are genuinely fun to be around. Our team name was "Easy As Pi" and all of our uniform numbers corresponded to a number in pi. Did I mention that most of them are MIT alum? Too funny.







My team, Easy As Pi, always lined up as "Pi" at the beginning of each match. Here are some examples:

My Graduation

I became an official Wellesley alumnae on May 27th 2011. The weather was beautiful, the speeches were interesting and I was surrounded by family and friends. I couldn't have asked for a better graduation day. I am one lucky girl!
