I went to haymarket today.  Not like i went a browsed like last time, but really went with the intention of buying things.  I didn't want to spend more than $20.  I got an amazing shit load of things for nothing.  Seriously.  I made out like a bandit.  I got 2 pounds of tomatoes for $1/per pound, 8 green bell peppers for $2, 5 red bell peppers for ( Read more... )

I just had a wonderful dinner with all my roommates.  It was really good.  Claudia made vegetable carbonarra which was to DIE for.  It was so good.  She made it with parmesian cheese from Italy (which she insists tastes different than american cheese.  She is so right.)  Kellie made apple crisp.  THAT was also to die for.  I mean, i've never been ( Read more... )

Today was pretty awesome.  Not the waking up at 8 part, but everything else was pretty good.  Got out of class about an hour early, got to take a nap, my debit card came back, and maybe i'll get a job (this one is like eh because i probably won't).  The welcome back reception dinner was really low key, i got free dinner, and i got to talk to a lot ( Read more... )

So Claudia ended up making me these really awesome homework assignments so that i could explore Boston and she could show me all the cool things.  They ended up looking like treasure maps.  She printed out google maps then drew paths for me to follow and places i needed to go.  It was a lot of fun.  We're going to put the whole thing behind a cut ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention that Schaan and I did absolutely nothing today.  We were too tired.  We got home after dropping Renzo off and went straight to sleep because we were so exhausted.  I didn't get up till 2.  Then Schaan took another nap after we came home from lunch.  He's, in fact, sleeping right now ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a lazy day.  We had dim sum, played card games, and went on a failed trip to Jacques Cabaret which was supposed to be a drag show, but it was disappointing.  Today, we saw Inglorious Basterds.  It was AWESOME.  I found out that Best Buy, Bed Bath and Beyond, and REI are all next to the movie theater so I can go there when i need stuff ( Read more... )

So after my huge drama that i'm not even going to mention by name because i will punch a bitch, the day turned out pretty good.  Renz and I went to this place called Habernero for some mexican (because there's no such thing as taco bell here) and it was okay.  Later at night we went to the children's museum because it's only $1 on fridays from 5-9 ( Read more... )

Packing out all the boxes wasn't as hard or as long as i thought it was going to be.  My room isn't cluttered and everything has a place.  I'm a little flabbergasted.  All i need now is some shelves.  Also, it turns out i have one more closet than i originally thought which means more room.  Renzo and i got a really late start today, but everything ( Read more... )

Just a couple random thoughts:

• I have only 2 1/2 days left in Miami.  Eek
• I am a sucker for a man in a good leather jacket.  I have no idea what it is.
• I am also a sucker for guys who can do some sort of tumbling. 
• i think about really random things...a lot
• i am ALL about the conspiracy theories

Here are some fun facts from my motherland:

• Ketchup was invented in China.  Boo-ya.  It was made as pickled fish sauce called ke-tsiap.
• Trouble in China is symbolized by 2 women living together under 1 roof.  Hahaha.
• Chopsticks originated from China approximately 4,000 years ago.  I guess it beats eating with your hands.
• When silk was ( Read more... )
