long weekends
who doesn’t love a nice long weekend? i don’t think i’ve met anyone who has said that they prefer a short weekend to a long one. i’d probably think they had something wrong with them if they did. this weekend was columbus day weekend. and i was so appreciative that it just happened to fall when it did.
senior year is proving to be quite tricky so i will take any extra time that i can to get work done or to have a free moment to breathe. this weekend was packed with homework (i pulled a good 10 hr homework day today– go me!), going home for about 24 hrs and of course, fun!
i went to an improv show on thursday night. i know a few people in seriously bent, suffolk’s improv team, so my roommates and i went to their show in the 150 tremont dorm. i think this actually was one of the first times i’d seen them since orientation… i can’t believe i hadn’t seen them very much (or even at all) in the past two years since i’ve been in boston. they were hilarious. there reputation proceeds them, so i was expecting a great show and they were awesome.
friday i had class all day (friday class isn’t nearly as bad as i was expecting it to be! it actually goes by pretty quickly!) and then friday night was my friend’s 21st birthday so my roommates and i travelled downtown to gypsy bar, which was fun, but probably not a place i’d go back to. becca had a great time though, so that’s really all that counts!
saturday afternoon i went home to new hampshire! i hadn’t been home since i moved in and my sister was coming home as well so my parents picked me up from the bus stop and we had a family dinner, which was so nice. you never realize how much you miss them until you can’t really have them anymore. i am glad that i live so close to home so that i have the opportunity to go home for a bit and see my family!
sunday consisted of homework, shopping (yay new conditioner!) and traveling back into the city! and today i honored columbus’ memory with some good ol’ fashioned homework time– meaning, i didn’t go outside once. i sat by the window though.
see? i packed a lot in this weekend. amazing what i can do if you give me an extra day! now i have a jam-packed four day week to get through. i’ve got projects due left and right (including my first web design project!!) so tonight i am going to get a good sleep so i am ready to kick this week’s butt.
