arrowwhiskersThe past few days have been comparatively pretty good. I finally mailed my enrollment deposit to UA this morning. Yay for taking steps to move on with my life.
I went home on for the day on Monday and watched the marathon with my mom, and the women's race was really competitive and inspiring. It was nice to hear them talk about where the runners actually were and have some idea of where in Boston that was and what the distances were between them.
I also went to visit Carol, and we talked a lot about Japanese and folded a lot of cranes. It was good. She might go to Northeastern next year...and I hope she does. I think she would like it here.
I realized that it's going to be pretty miserable spending the summer in Arlington, however. My room is overrun with my mom's stuff, and, increasingly, my own. It feels dark and sort of smothering.
It's okay, though, because I got hired for a full time position at MIT; a similar job to the one I've been doing previous summers, but with more hours, and hopefully more consistent work. So I'll be spending a lot of time out of my house anyway...and I start on Monday morning. Yaay...
On my return to Northeastern this morning, I called Courtney and we got bubble tea...and proceeded to wander around for a few hours, just around Boston and in parts that I personally had never seen. The Fens is so cozy and beautiful. It's really sad that Northeastern makes students so frightened of the Fens, because during the day, they're a pretty lovely place to be. It's nice to be able to wander around the city and not worry about the freezing cold and the biting wind.
I feel like I got too much sun, though...I'm all flushed...but I only walked out in the sun (and it wasn't very hot, 70 degrees at the most) for about 45 minutes, and the rest of the time I was walking under an umbrella charitably lent to me by Courtney. I think I might have a slight fever. Oh well.
So now that I'm here everything feels so...stagnant. I wish my final were tomorrow. I printed out my review materials from Blackboard and I have 27 pages of calc. I simultaneously feel bored but I have no desire, really, to study.
I also kind of want to hang on to this, since once I study, there's no more work for me to do for NEU. Before I know it, I'll be gone.
