How to “Birthday” in Boston
Well, it happened. I turned 23. Everyone is invited to feel old; we’ll support each other through this emotional time. I don’t mind being 23 (what choice do I have, really) but it’s kind of strange to think that I have to “officially” be an adult now. And I’m not sure if I’m digging this […]
Boston Bibliophilia
Last week, I spent my sightseeing time at a few of Boston’s literary landmarks. On every tourist “to do” list that I’ve read, the Boston Public Library was always been ranked highly as one of things you absolutely must see. Located in Copley Square and directly across from Boston’s renowned Trinity Church, the main building of the […]
A Lovely Weekend for a Regatta
This weekend was a crowded one for Boston! It was the 50th annual Head of the Charles, and despite what the name might suggest, this event isn’t at all similar to Britain’s Guy Fawkes Day; no effigies or fake heads are harmed in the HOTC celebrations. It is actually the largest two day regatta in […]
A Quick Tour Around Boston
Before we start, I want to briefly talk about the ugliest piece of artwork that I have ever seen: One of my lesser qualities is that I’m not always the most observant person in the world; I admit it. So for the two whole weeks that I have been living in my apartment, I always […]
My NEWEST New Job
Whew! It has been a very busy week since the last time I blogged! First things first, the new apartment is working out perfectly. My commute time to work has been cut down from an almost two-hour bus trip to a 15-minute walk. I am living in a nice neighborhood in the South End, and have […]
All Moved In…Again!
Today, I moved into my official Boston residence. Let the real adventures begin! The house that I have been staying in for the past two weeks was lovely and comfortable, and I can’t thank the family enough for opening their home to me; they really helped me out in a potentially difficult (and expensive) situation. […]
1 Week Down, 13 More To Go
I survived my first week in Boston! It was busy, and exhausting, and slightly confusing, but more than anything else it was a very good start to my time here. Now, because I know what everyone is wondering, I’ll cut to the most important part: yes, I have already eaten a lot of cheese in […]
I Have Arrived!
Well, I have officially “moved” to Boston! My parents and my sister said their goodbyes and started their twelve-hour trek back to Ohio, so this homegirl is now on her own in the big city. I’m feeling excited, overwhelmed, and a tiny bit scared (actually more than a tiny bit, at the moment). But a […]
Here’s What I Know So Far…
As an introduction to this theoretically informative travel blog about Boston, I guess I should admit something… I hardly know anything about it. In some ways, the next three months of living in Boston will be more like a “study abroad” experience than my summer term in London, England. I had lived in England before! […]
