Finally! A chance to sit down...

Spring break came and went; it was mostly chilly when I was in Boston. But I can't really complain, i'm not really able to visit any other time of the year if I don't want to spend a lot on a place to stay. My friend T-dawg was nice enough to let me stay at Boston University with her roommate. It was free, so that was sweet. I headed out on Friday, but it turns out it was a very bad idea. I got a ride from someone I met through Craigslist, (before you freak out and say EWW!!! why did you do that?!?! I really had no other options because I suck at maintaining a proper budget. So, I went for the next best thing which was a FREE ride to NYC.) I got a free dinner and my bus ticket was paid so that I could go to Boston...so it wasn't as bad as you may think. Now, Friday was a bad day to head out because it was snowing terribly. It took about 6-7hours to get to NYC rather than the usual 4 hours. We stopped at a chinese buffet, by other than that, the ride was pretty uneventful. There was a car that turned over that we passed when we were on the road for an hour. I can't tell you how many cop cars we passed. We got to NYC at about 11:30pm, right after the last chinese bus left for Boston. Greyhound shut down their buses because of the snow storm, and the nest bus wasn't leaving until 7:00am the next morning. So I slept over at my ride's place, which was a small room in a basement in a house in NYC. I slept soundly although I usually don't sleep so much when i'm in a bed that's not my own.
So I woke up the next day around 7:30am...I was supposed to take the 6am chinatown bus, but the person who I was staying with didn't want to wake me up because I was snoring. haha. Well, we were off by 7:45am and we went to go see when the bus left and he went to go buy a ticket for me--- which totally caught me off guard. We went to go get diner in little Italy, and it turns out we went to an expensive place...it was called Ferrara. I got a pannoli and some orange juice...really good, but too sweet for a morning treat. My ride ordered a cake and an espresso. He ended up giving me the whole cake, which was delicious. Everything was great, and by 9:30 am I was on my way to Boston! That same night I made some decisions...and I don't regret them because I had tons of fun calling everyone :). Although I don't remember half the things that happened. But it was all in good fun. The next morning we went for breakfast..or rather brunch at a really yummy place. T-Dawg ate most of my muffin. =[ On monday I did the freedom trail, but most of the places I wanted to see, like Paul Revere's house and the Old North Church were closed. incredibly lame, the weather was fantastic though. On Tuesday I went to MIT and Harvard, i spent way more time than I should've at Harvard, and I thought it was a smart idea to walk to MIT from Harvard, but what I didn't count on was that it was going to rain on me halfway, so it was kind of pointless to take the T to MIT. Although the highlight of my day was that I ate at an Indian buffet...it was so good! It was like being at my indian friend's house again. haha.
Wednesday was uneventful because it was cold and i just decided to sleep instead of go out. So I stayed an extra day and went to the Sam Adams brewery on Thursday. Everyone should go there if you're ever in Boston. It was over in Jamaica Plains...SCARY! i know...right?
Well, I left on Friday :( I got to wander around NYC for a little bit before my bus to Williamsport left. it snowed AGAIN on friday, and I had a fun time walking from the bus station to my dorm. I slipped once, but it didn't matter, Williamsport is a ghost town without all the students...it's kind of sad, really.
Well, anyway, i've been wondering whether I should stay at Lycoming or transfer somewhere close to home? I already decided that Astronomy isn't the subject for me...otherwise things would be different now. I decided on Political Science which is something I am more passionate about. It's sad i'm dropping astro, but I might pick it as a minor. Which reminds me...I need to declare next year. I have until the end of sophomore year to do it, but I want to declare now. Then I have time to plan for the future. Sweet.
Well, i'll probably continue on my thoughts later on...right now i'm in such a great mood, i don't think anything can bring me down :).
cheers!

happy valentine's day!!!

hello faithful readers!
I'm back again, and unfortunately, I have the sniffles. What bothers me about it is that it hit me like a ton of bricks...BAM! yesterday I woke up with a bad cough, bad enough that I was afraid to cough. The bad thing is that I had a mid term yesterday, a quiz, and a mock speech. I fell asleep early on Thursday, but I had no clue why. I couldn't concentrate on studying for my Poli Sci mid term. I think I did mediocre on it, thanks to not skipping any Poli Sci classes. Especially since I might major in the subject. I just can't stand the teacher, he reminds me a lot of Mark Nienstaedt, a former lawyer turned teacher, in terms of being stubborn and thinking his assumptions are always right.
So I have some kind of cold, and it's actually the first time i've gotten sick on campus. The last time i got sick was when I was at home. I probably caught it from someone here and then got sick once I went home. I was sick over Christmas day. It came to my advantage when I didn't want to be with my mom's side of the family anymore. I hate that side. All they do is complain when in reality they should be grateful because my mom got their illegal asses here just in time so they wouldn't get busted. Does that sound at all fair to you? Give shit to your aunt because she brought you over? Last time I checked, the probability of my cousins still living in Mexico, getting shit pay, and having a ton of kids, was very high. I hate to be so stereotypical, but it's true. I can't wait for break, only one more week...I get to see Tricia! in Boston! I get to see boston for reals this time, which I am so excited about. The last time I was near that area, I was looking at boarding schools in New England, but didn't get into anywhere I wanted to go to. So, that's basically why I went to Conserve...teehee...now you know my secret.
Well, i'm off to eat. I've been sleeping all day and it's 3:50pm. I can sleep an amazing amount when i'm sick.
