blame it on the rain.

I know, I know, this post is appearing awfully early. What can I say, 9-5 is really taking a toll on me.

I have real bags under my eyes for the first time in my life. I've stayed up for 48 hours straight before, have been a college student for 2 years, but never have I ever had bags. I've worked 4 days at a real job and I look like I have kidney disease or something. I need rest!

I'm going to Maine for the weekend, I decided. I can't go any longer without my new computer, music, or mother. Therefore, I'm headed to Brunswick tomorrow after work and will return early on Sunday. I can't wait to see Brother Bobby...that is as long as I don't catch on fire in his presence.

This morning when I got to work, there was an email in my NPEA inbox from my boss. I don't know if she found my blog or what, but she was writing to me to let me know that she expects me to use my lunch hour and that I am only supposed to work until 5, that there is no reason to stay longer. I really appreciate her letting me know that; it's cool to be in the middle of the city during the day and I'm in an area where there's actually a lot to see.

Therefore, today during lunch, I left the office in search of a place to eat. The weather outside was cold, almost rainy, and dreary, so I wanted an indoor spot...I'm still pretty unfamiliar with the area, and the only place I knew to go was South Station. So, I spent my lunch hour sitting in the heart of the train station, people watching, enjoying the violinists that play in the food court area, and BBM'ing with Court. I kind of felt like a loser, but it's fine.

I've seen my first cases of schizophrenia (yeah I spelled that right on my first try) and Tourette's since I've been in Boston. Not pretty.

I'm learning a lot about educating students separately; classrooms of just boys and classrooms of just girls. While a lot of people are opposed to it, I see the merits of such a system and is something I will consider in both my future career and personal life.

I can't believe that I haven't seen my SU friends for over six weeks now. I was thinking especially today about saying goodbye to everyone at the airport when I left and laughing. I also can't believe I left Court to finish cleaning and packing up the apartment; I can only imagine how much stuff was left there and cannot imgaine how much stuff she threw away. I was telling my roommate here yesterday about Katy showing me magic wands at the cool store on Wescott and she could barely believe me. We are going to go to a midnight showing of the new Harry Potter film in July though, which is exciting, as it will be my first time ever going to such a release.

I found a door to my basement in my apartment today. It's HUGE. There's a secret stairway in the back that leads to Anne Frank's secret annex.

Always epic.
