Random Update (4.29.13)

Last weekend, after the events on Friday, was pretty normal. I think most people were comforted by how well the police dealt with the situation and by the fact that it was only two people in a city of couple million. Here are some photos from the Boston Marathon I forgot to add last week. 

Here they come.

...and there they go.

On Saturday (April 20th) we had the first spring club soccer game against BU. This was also the last. We packed into various cars and drove over to a park Cambridge. On the way, we realized we were driving by the Target that was smack-dab in the middle of what the WAR ZONE MASSACHUSETTS news headlines were talking about. A little eerie, to say the least. We lost 2-1. A late first-half goal off of a poor give-away was disheartening. But we got one back a few minutes into the 2nd half. With 5 minutes to go, a poor refereeing decision allowed a questionable late goal. After getting back to campus and showering, I went to two student shows. One was an acapella concert, the other a sketch-comedy show. Both were really good. On Sunday I played pickup soccer with a bunch of people. 

Last week was quite busy. I got my computer screen fixed. I helped Alex film some more. I had my last physics lab meeting. I had a physical at BC health services for studying abroad. I had a bunch of homework. I was sorting out what I'm doing this summer. Unfortunately, I did not get offered the internship in New York. Alas. Oh, and it was also gorgeous outside, so the temptation to nap was much smaller. Anywho. Friday was a nice end to the week, though. I had my 10 AM Spanish class, where we finished watching the movie "Volver." After class, I went to the library to print, sign, scan, and email a contract to the folks at the summer camp that my friends Sam and Zach, and I will be working at this summer. It's in California, it's outside, and it looks like a really good time. While in the library, I also printed off lots of student visa documents for the Spanish consulate. After all of that, a few guys went to Yamato at 1:30 PM, an all-you-can-eat sushi place off-campus. Alex, Rafa, Jonathan, Miguel, and Vinny were all there. While sushi is not my favorite, it is slowly moving up the list. Friday night I hung out with some people in Voute, then the Mods, and then played some FIFA back in the room with some friends. 

Saturday I slept past noon! I haven't done that all semester. I basically got up, washed up, and went to go play soccer. It was another beautiful day, and we had a big group of people out in Alumni Stadium. Saturday night, Rafa, Alex, Andy and I went to see "Avenue Q," a Sesame Street inspired musical put on by BC students in Robsham theater on campus. It was really well done. That night, Jim, Jose and I watched some M*A*S*H and hung out. Sunday was the most gorgeous of the gorgeous days. Here are some photos from Brighton campus to prove my statement!
