Random Update (10.9.11)

This weekend is the breath of fresh air that I need after the first few weeks of school. The campus is much less crowded, because many locals have gone home for the long weekend. The weather has been absolutely beautiful. The people who are still here are more relaxed, it seems.

On Friday I finished classes around noon, had lunch with Kavi, explored the Study Abroad office, took a nap, woke up, ate, went to the BC soccer game (2-0 win vs. Wake), and finally almost went to a Ladytron concert. But ticketmaster was being silly, and we were being tired. I went to bed at 11:30 PM. 

On Saturday I woke up at 8:00 AM, ran a 5K Charity race with some guys, came in 2nd place with a (PR) 18:39 time. After the 5K, we returned to Newton, ate breakfast, kicked a ball around on the official soccer field, played in small sided game on the field hockey field. It was the kind of weather where you don't feel anything. Nothing cool, nothing warm. You just float along like you just took off your shoes and an invisible layer of clothing. I cannot say enough about how spectacular it was. Following soccer, Alex, Lorena, Andrea, Jeff, Jessica, and I walked to get ice cream. Afterwards all of us joined Luiza and Alyssa for Sushi. After Sushi we went back to Newton and watched "Shaun of the Dead." I ended up going to bed around 2:00 AM.


Today I woke up at 8:00 AM again. Pat and I rallied some troops. We left on the subway in swimsuits and backpacks (editor's note: we were not in backpacks; just wearing them) around 10:30 AM. Pat, Alex, Luiza, Kelley, Briana, Jeff, and I spent 11:30 to 4:30 at the beach. Props to Pat for the idea. Pat and Alex are freaking hilarious. They love Monty Python and Mr. Bean. We got pizza, threw a frisbee around, played beach soccer, slept, went in the water, got milkshakes/ice cream, and pretty much just had an amazingly relaxing day. Tomorrow cannot possibly be as awesome, but it can try.


Now I plan to either A) Write the draft for a paper B) Watch a meteor shower C) Watch star wars or D) sleep.


Thanks for the soccer ball,  DVDs, and snacks, Mom!


Stand by for photos from the beach!
