It's 3:20 in the morning, I'm listening to 2 am by Anna Nalick, and I have never heard as many sirens in my entire life as I've heard in one night in Boston, Mass. Lovely city, filled with so much history it's a bit over whelming, and I'm SO excited. Today we rode the trolley around, when to some historic sites, one of them being the "cradle of Independence". If you know what that is you get extra points. We also did some shopping in Quincey Market, and found this awesome lobster store. Which you won't understand if you aren't in the joke, which only a few people might begin to understand...
Anyway... a bit sleepless right now. It's 3.30 in the morning, and I'm having a terrible time. And I've woken my brother up in the process, we switched beds, then neither of us were still not getting any sleep so we switched back and I decided to write about all the fun we're having. And all the freezing we're doing. Actually it's not that bad, as long as it doesn't rain tomorrow. *knock on wood* There's a fog over the city right now, but only on the tops of the buildings. I can see quite a bit from the 12th floor we're on. It's a great view of the city. You can see all the Christmas trees on the roofs of the buildings around us.
So overall we had a really good day today. The only thing is that it's with the fam. I know I would have more fun with my friends, especially if we stayed out all night and just found awesome stuff to do. Mum is a bit of a nagger and she just gets on everyone's case about everything. My brother, dad, and I just roll our eyes and just deal with it. Heaven forbid if anyone try to do something like she does. Not going to talk about it though. The rest of us can't wait for this summer when we're going on a trip without her! It's going to be the best. Mum always complains that she can never travel anywhere with us (though she doesn't), but that's not the truth, we can't travel anywhere with her! I don't sympathize with her very much when she nags. Anything we do is wrong. Doesn't matter if we were trying to be courtious or not, it's still the wrong thing. *rolls eyes* Enough about that.
I've made a mix on my iTunes hoping that it'll help me get to sleep. Our next door neighbor was so freaking loud at about 2 am, so that was one reason I couldn't go back to sleep. Their TV was on, really loud, and my head is right by where their TV is I bet. Annoying as anything, and the sirens weren't helping. I am hoping that by writing this all out I can finally get some sleep. That would be nice. So my mix on my iTunes is called my SleepyTime mix. I'm hoping I can get some before I have to be up in 4 hours so I can get some sleep. The sun sets early here. Yesterday's sunset time was 4.15pm. It's because Boston's so far away from the sun. It's CRAZY!
Well I'm going to try to get some sleep right now. And I know that I have so much more I'm not reporting on, but sleep is important when you're on vacation since we'll be walking all about the city.
2 days til Christmas, when I come home and can be where I really want to be!
