Kien is our R.A. for the 8th floor at 150 Tremont.  I am very happy to have him as our R.A.  He is a hardworking gentleman who finds time to hang with us, and treat us like adults.  Because of him, our floor has meshed together very well, and we are friendly with one another.  Everyone’s always hanging out in the common room, playing games, or just talking.  We all have great chemistry, and are fortunate to have Kien as our R.A.  He is a Bio major, and has a ton of classes, keeping him busy throughout the week.  I respect his work ethic, and he is on his way to having a very successful life.

On Wednesday, November 28, my girlfriend Morgan and I went to the Celtics game.  They lost 95-83 to the Brooklyn Nets, and were down big the whole game.  But the game wasn’t the best part.  There was a fight between the two teams.  Kris Humprhies, Kim Kardashians famous ex husband, pushed Kevin Garnett as he went to the basket, and Rajon Rondo took exception to that.  He went at Kris Humphries and everyone jumped in.  Rondo got suspended 2 games, but it was worth it in my opinion.  He showed the Celtics that he has their back.  It was Morgan’s first time going to the Celtics game, and she enjoyed it very much.  I was happy that she did, it was a very nice night for the both of us.

On Sunday, November 11, my mom and I went to the Patriots game at Gillette Stadium in Patriot Place.  They beat the Buffalo Bills 37-31, in a very exciting and nail biting thriller.  The Bills suck, so the fact that it was that close was pretty ridiculous.  But in the end, Tom Brady and the offense was far too much for the Bills to handle.  The Bills killed themselves with penalties, there were yellow flags flying left and right.  My mom and I were high up in the stadium, in the second row of the upper section.  There were plenty of beer guzzling season ticket holders.  They must have been broke after the game, because the price of a beer there is $10.  All in all, it was a beautiful day, and I had a good time watching the Patriots with my mom.

Eddie bought Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, and since his Playstation 3 is in Tokyo, he left it in my room so that I can play whenever I want.  Very awesome situation.  The game is amazing, a very fun experience for anyone who plays.  Eddie and I beat the game the day he got it, but the fun doesn’t stop there.  In my opinion, it is the best Call of Duty yet, and I look forward to playing the new ones that come out in the future.

I am excited and happy with my schedule for next semester.  I got all the classes I wanted, and all the times I wanted.  I do not have a class on Fridays, so having 3 day weekends every weekend is very exciting to think about.  More time to sleep in!  The registration process went very well for me, it was easy to pick my schedule once I figured out what classes I wanted to take.  I look forward to next semester, and a fresh start to the new year after a long winter break.

I love Christmas.  I love everything about Christmas, and am so excited that it is now December.  There are so many warm feelings throughout this time, even with the warm weather.  Everyone seems to be much happier during this time of year.  I am a big fan of listening to Christmas music, as I have memorized almost every tune.  I work at Shaw’s supermarket, and they play it starting right after Thanksgiving, so 8 hour shifts give me plenty of time to listen to the large variety of songs there are.  As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to respect the holiday much more than just getting a lot of presents.  That doesn’t do the holiday justice.  I don’t think about Christmas in a religious sense, because I am not a religious person myself, but I feel as though Christmas is meant to bring families together, and just enjoy the company of being with the ones you love.

Merry Christmas,

Dan

My friend Eddie turned me on to a Japanese restaurant called Bento Express.  I thoroughly enjoy eating their “Bento Box,” which, for me, consists of teriyaki chicken, rice, fried wontons, sushi, salad, and soup.  I had only had Japanese food once before I tried Bento, and now I go there once a week or so, as I very much enjoy their food.  I am very happy that Eddie took me there, as I may not have known about it otherwise.

Thanks Eddie!

On Wednesday, November 7th, I attended the Celtics game with Eddie, Jordan, Jadeine, Chris, and Tabitha, all my friends on the 8th floor of 150 Tremont.  I got 6 tickets for $85 dollars, a very good deal nowadays.  The seats were high up in the balcony, where the real fans sit.  We had a great view of the entire court, and it turned out to be an awesome game.  They won 100-94, in overtime, as it was quite an entertaining shootout up and down the floor.  My favorite player is Paul Pierce, I very much enjoy watching him take young kids to school with old school tricks.

My name is Dan.  I am from Ipswich, Massachusetts, a small north shore town known for its beach accommodations and old houses.  I am 18 years old, 5’9 and roughly 180 pounds (a number rising by the meal).  I am very excited to be attending school in Boston, as I’ve always loved the city.  I am a very big sports fan, I watch every Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and Patriots game religiously.  I play the drums and trumpet, and I am teaching myself how to play piano.  Music is a very important part of my life, I’m always looking for new bands or songs to listen to.  My major is English, and I hope to one day be a successful writer, or possibly a teacher.  Nice to meet you all
