So I thought that after moving to Boston, I’d have a lot more to talk about on here, certainly about stuff that’s a lot more interesting than my most recently read book. Well, I was wrong, partially. There IS a lot to write about, but so many of it is so trivial … like how many people I met today, what happened at orientation sessions.

When I first moved into my apartment last Friday, it was pretty bad. I hated my apartment because it was dirty and old and pretty shabby. But now I really like where I’m living because everybody else in this building is just like me: meeting new faces in a new place. It seems like a really easy going social place, which is good. Shows that even MITers know how to have fun! At least when we first come here … :)

Orientation goes on all week, which is exciting for two reasons. 1 - Classes are postponed. 2 - Free food. Reason #2 is obviously the most important one. MIT’s organized a lot of cool events for us too at way discounted prices. We all went to the top of the Prudential building in downtown Boston tonight to enjoy the beautiful night view of Boston from atop one of the tallest buildings in town. There’s a harbor cruise this weekend, and a hiking trip, and a whale watch next weekend. It’s all great. I just wish it could stay this way forever.
