Another back-logged post.
Okay, okay, so that last email was way dramatic. Things are better now. I've even anesthetized that same cage of mice since then without incident. But, here's a post that I started a week ago that I'm finally posting here.
Egad I haven't updated in so long! How do the days just slip away so quickly?
It's FINALLY feeling like summer around here and it has just been gorgeous. Warm, cool breezes, low humidity, blue skies and puffy white clouds. Just about as perfect as you can get.
Unfortunately, I feel like I've been stuck inside for most of it. I'm at the final stages of this silly med school application. I need to do a few more rounds of revisions on my essay, check over the applications once and for all, and then hit "Submit." My goal is to be finished by the time I leave for DC next Friday.
So much has been happening...
Ben and I checked out Jamaica Plain a little bit when we went to see The Beehive Collective. We had dinner at the Purple Cactus and dessert at the original JP licks!
We took a tour (and enjoyed the subsequent tasting) at the Sam Adams Brewery.
We had a wonderful dinner with Anna, Toby, Taryn, and Jesse (some friends of ours).
I've been checking out the farmer's markets, and the market near us (Union Square) is generally way overpriced. I just go because I can get free chocolate samples and reduced prices on the Taza chocolate.
This past weekend, we checked out North Boston, Quincy Market, Haymarket, and the little marina or whatever it is over there--our first glimpse of the OCEAN yay!
We also hosted a potluck at our place. We invited people super last minute, so not many people showed up. It was really fun, though, and a terrific excuse to finally pull the apartment together.
Finally, I decided that I'm going to at least start training for the Bay State Marathon in October to see if I can qualify for Boston. Guess I'll just have to wait and see how that goes...:)
