This is the city for me.

No, really, truly. We're going to be touring colleges before I leave. It's only been a few days, but I iam so fucking sold on this city it's astounding.

Today was moderately unremarkable; I worked on art a lot, was kind of groggy and loopy the entire day. We left to go out to the Kennedy School for lunch -- a gorgeous old elementary school which has been converted to a resteraunt and filled with art and arrrrrgh, so beautiful.

After that, we headed off to this awesome little coffee shop which is, and I quote "Home to the casually threatening atmosphere." No, that's not what the locals say. That's what the business owners say. It's just so...fascinating. Things move where you don't expect them, and the wallpapers are sort of all one huge find the hidden picture...and the bathroom. The bathroom depicts a watery grave, and it is soooo creepy. Soooo cool.

I LOVE THIS PLACE.

SO MUCH.

You have no idea, I'm just...I just totally belong here. Portland will spoil me for Maryland.

Anyway. That's all to say for right now, I'll have a beach report tomorrow. Peace out, and all that jazz.
