recap of 'reading week'...in which little reading was done :)
A week back in the US...always a good thing as far as I am concerned! My dad picked me up on friday afternoon & we drove back home (more like he drove to the border, i drove the rest of the way) We made the trip in about 7 hours, which is shorter than usual, so that was good. Saw my mom & grandmother, ate dinner, saw JANE! Jane and I then spent friday night, saturday & sunday together. We went to the mall & the diner on saturday. It was a ton of fun...sat at the diner for about 2 hours, just talking, people watching, eating some fries and relaxing. I'm sure that the people next to us got kind of freaked out since we were talking about some pretty heavy things at times, but oh well, i bet it made thier night that much more interesting! Apres ca, we headed home & to bed. Sunday was more of the same & dinner with Grandmere. Monday: Doctors appointments and suprising people at hopkins, which was alot of fun. I saw Tracy & caught up with her... i really missed her conversations and little bits of information about Hopkins, etc. I saw all the fencers, went to practice, etc.Then dinner at the Logans and saying goodbye to my parents...they left for Barbados at 4am tuesday morning. Lucky! Tuesday was pretty much the same, dinner out with the logans & archie & terresa. Then Wednesday Marion, shirley and i went out to lunch (without mila *pout*) and then back to school for the meet against North Haven...which i then reffed (is that how you spell that?????) women's epee & one bout of guys epee. It was a little nerve wracking, but fun. I was asked to ref states, but i, alas, was in Boston. My grandmother took Jane & I out to dinner and then jane and i talked for awhile and said goodbye. so sad....
Then the boston piece of things....
Got on the train on thursday, got up to boston, waited around for connor, met up with him & went to his dorm. I met a bunch of his friends & had a generally good time. Watched the final episode of the OC...my view? thank god its done ;) actually, it wasn't that bad, i did laugh out loud a few times "this may seem random, but i'm a midwife!" Then just talking & chilling out with Connor & his roommate Nick (really nice kid... cute too lol) finally slept a bit, though very fitfully (the result of sharing a single top bunk w/ connor...afraid of falling off haha) Friday we met up with Sacha & Meghna and ate YUMMY food from the cheese cake factory & then went and got our nails done (well, not connor, but who cares) and then connor & i went shopping on newbury street for awhile. then back to campus for food and back into the city for a comedy show that his sister (claire) was helping out with. Met alot of cool people & it was really really amusing. we then went to an MIT Frat party with Claire & her boyfriend (hes a grad student there & it was his old frat) That was an interesting little experience... in total there were prolly 15 guys & 4 girls cycling through. They played Beruit the whole night & smoked alot of pot & just chilled. it was a good time, more nice people and a cute guy....who was like 5'4"...wayyyyyyyy too short, but we talked for awhile. Oh, and claire made me promise that she will get me "saftely drunk on my 21st birthday"...I will laugh soooo hard if she remembers! Then back to the dorm where we talked with nick for awhile and then to bed. slept 'till like noon on saturday and then went to the fencing meet. New England Championships....
The fencing meet was so much fun...makes me miss it alot. I saw soooo many of the old crew...whether it be people from the highschool teams, kids from individuals meets, coaches, refs, etc. 'twas fun. Plus, the guys did really really well (we didnt watch womens) i could go into details, but its really not worth it. there were some really good fencers, some really hot fencers and some fencers that were made hotter by how good they were. that about sums it up! i saw anna which was amazing cuz i love her lol. we were crazy and such.
then back to the dorm (with a stop to get chinese) and then off to meet sacha & head to the bus station. it was such an easy bus ride... 6 1/2 hours, slept for 5 of them, watched Friends from the border onwards.
now its time for chores, grocery shopping, physics and then Greece & the Oscars. should be good!
