July 4th Fireworks!

July 4th is always a great time because you get to spend time with your friends at barbeques and watch fireworks together. This week, Summer University students got to have a barbeque on "The Beach" with activities all afternoon long. (Pictures from the event will be posted on http://facebook.com/jhuprecollege) Fireworks from the Inner Harbor ended the night in Baltimore.

As for me, I decided to venture into DC with some of my friends for fireworks by the Washington Monument. One of the perks of being in Baltimore, is our easy access to two great cities, one of them being our nation's capital.

Set up on the lawn with the perfect viewing angle.

The city was packed with people and everyone around us was just as excited. The weather was perfect for relaxing on the lawn with friends.

Our perfect view ended up being not so perfect so we had to move, but nonetheless, it was a great show!

After a long day of celebrations with friends, most of us have returned to work today and students have returned to class. Hopefully all the Summer University students are enjoying their courses and being thoroughly challenged. The first weekend is almost here, and the residential students will be going on their first weekend trip. This week the destination is Baltimore's Inner Harbor, have fun everyone!
