I've got the blues.

Does anyone else get that weird empty feeling upon coming home after a vacation? I am suffering that now. Perhaps it's because I am in a strange transition period where I have to figure out what to do for the next year and it hit me today that I need to get on it...or the fact that my MCAT scores come out this evening and I really have no idea what to expect, or possibly because I spent a wonderful weekend relaxing with friends and it seems so cruel that it's already over. Either way, I'm feeling the blues a little bit.

On a brighter note, our cruise was amazing. I had so much fun with my friend Emily and her boyfriend Adam and of course my love, Rob. We all tried to sneak alcohol on to the ship (I'd done this successfully on a previous cruise) to cut back on the alcohol bill,  however my bag was the only one that came back unscathed. The others had their goods confiscated - and let me tell you, we weren't the only ones. People got creative! One man had his liquor in IV bags, and another couple upon hearing ours got confiscated said they put theirs in old Listerine bottles and used food coloring to make it green. Pretty Impressive. 
Besides that minor setback, our trip went off without a hitch and we spent my birthday on Norwegian's private island in Great Stirrup Cay, sipping on beers in the water and taking our fair share of tequila shots, and then explored Atlantis in the bahamas on Sunday.

Unfortunately, like the dummy I tend to be, I forgot my nice camera and so I had to rely on the pictures that Emily took to document the trip. Here are a few of the highlights:
