Boston: Day 3

"Where ever you go, there you are."
That's one of my favorite quotes ever and it was the theme of yesterday, day three of my stay in Boston. The day started out like any other day here. I woke up around the time my brother left for work, ate breakfast, took a shower, then I had to iron my clothes and get everything ready to go for my interview at Beth Israel. I headed over there around 8:45am and arrived with about 5 minutes to spare (9:55am), which makes it a bit of a commute. Anyways, the interview went really well, I was impressed with the program and the coordinator was really cool. She even walked me back to the T station after we were done. The BIDMC internship has a clinical focus, which is good, and only four weeks in food management, which is also good. It's a nine month program and the hospital is really nice. Oh and among the perks are $5 red sox tickets. Anyways, I finish with the interview and then head to Kendall again for lunch with my brother. At this point, I'm extremely tired for some reason. After lunch, I decided to just come back here and chill, with the intent of eventually getting back out to do something. Well I get home and I play some Gears of War 2, then I watch Scrubs. Made, and Parental Control, followed by some GTA4. Yes, an afternoon sitting on my butt in front of the TV. Suddenly, being here felt like being in Muncie or at home and I didn't like it. I told myself before I left that I wasn't going to waste my time, that I was going to take in as much of Boston as I could, but I feel like lazy-me took over yesterday. So I felt a bit crappy about how I was just on the sofa all day and how the feeling of euphoria that I felt when I first got here was expiring. So the quote at the beginning means that even though I've come all this way and even though life was amazing for a few days, I'm still me and life is still going on. I was able to redeem myself a little by fixing dinner for everyone. I made enchilladas, corn salad, and rice with the help of Zach and Ellie and Nikki (sp?). After dinner we had some peach pie that Ellie had made which was phenomenal. Then we just bummed around for a while, watched Boondock Saints and went to bed.
I suppose, all in all and despite the hebetude, I shouldn't be too upset about yesterday. I did get some things done and even though I would have spent my relaxation time differently if I had a second chance, I still got relaxation time which I think I need to admit that I needed. You should take some time off too. It's nice. And speaking of time off, mine shall once again be suspended to work on more history hw! Have a lovely Thursday, everyone, and I'll hopefully check in tomorrow morning with tails of the Freedom Trail!
