wow, (virtually) everyone's back on campus and i'm a bit overwhelmed. not underwhelmed. not whelmed. overwhelmed. shit.
so joy and i hung out with some people and went to bed early last night since she was tired from travelling and i was tired from (not) fencing... and then i got up and fooled around with my computer (in the livingroom, so as not to wake the jetlagged roomie) because it was acting up... and then we went to brunch and cleaned our closet and decided to go into cambridge...
cambridge was fun-- we had wanted to find the goodwill on mass ave. but we got there and we were freezing (it was warmish when we went for brekkers, so i wore just a shirt and blazer and she wore a sweater) and kind of grey so we decided to walk around harvard square... and in doing so, we discovered a really good health food/organic products/homeopathic stuff store, where i bought henna (i think i'm going to henna my hair this week)... and then we went to a store called "usefull stuff" which was amazing... and we got hot chocolate of death (it was soooo chocolatey, i could only drink half of my mug) and yummy nut torte... and we decided that all the sweet food was making us crave something bready so we went to a few places in search of croissants/baguettes and wound up buying a ficelle (small baguette) and eating half of it at au bon pain... and it was yummy but we were cold so we left on the next bus...
and i've been hanging out with people ever since (talking, hugging, catching up, dinner, etc)... well, until now when i decided to go fix my parking permit and spend a few last moments alone in the room... *sigh*... it's weird to have people around after being on a deserted campus for two weeks... i'm digging the (relative) silence.
must call the boy, especially since he offered to drive me back to wellesley after this weekend, which was so very nice and helpful... i feel guilty, because that's a ridiculous amount of driving for him to do... but yeah... needless to say, it would be infinitely better than spending the trip in the presence of my father... gah. must figure something out.
and it's the first day of classes tomorrow! and none of my books are here! gah! luckily, i have only one class at 11.10 and work at the psych dept at 1... and my coach cancelled practice for tomorrow, too, which is sweet, so i think joy and i are going to work out and maybe take a trip to the supermarket. fun fun fun.
blegh. i'm being a poopyhead and missing my solitude :(
