Boston was a much needed escape. Despite spending a lot of money I didn't have, not getting any sleep, being harassed by crazy homeless people, and the insane Chinese bus rides, I feel so much more relaxed now. Remind me to escape to cities where I don't have to deal with people from NY aside from Vicky, don't have to stress out about whatever's going on back home, don't have the internet to pull me into situations I have no control over, and don't have any commitments more often.
When I got back to my dorm and was walking into my room, I heard someone say "Hey Berres!". I stuck my head back into the hallway, and it was one of the boys who has made me the most miserable in my time here. He came up to me and said "This is going to sound weird, but, can I have a hug? I know this is probably too late, but I really am sorry for being such a jackass, and while I'm probably going to continue to be a jackass, I want you to know I'm sorry for making things hard for you." Yeah, too little too late, but it's nice to see that someone realizes they're not a nice person and that it does in fact matter if they hurt other people. Ah well. 6 more weeks.
