Say, I think I should build an Arc...
October 15, 2005
I went home last weekend, which was a wonderful escape from the city life. I love being in Boston, it’s a great city if you are able to get out and enjoy it. I have been tied to my desk with the ball and chain that they call homework though - and haven’t gotten around the city for “pleasure” for over 2 weeks now. So by being home I was able to get a breather, although not from homework. I was able to catch UP on my homework, which was surprising. I was thinking to myself the other day, maybe I need to go home more often if that is the case.
I will call it as a change of scenery, and we will leave it at that.
Most of my time was spent indoors, as it was sunny last friday when I left South Station at noon. It was overcast and gloomy when I arrived in Worcester on the train. It rained all weekend back home, the Housatonic river gorged with rainwater. Parts of Connecticut are apparently still partly underwater. If I was to draw a dramatic conclusion of the weather in the world lately - I would have to say the world was going to end.
But I am no Chicken Little.
I was supposed to have a Regatta today, but since most of the state of New Hampshire is underwater - they decided to cancel that. I know, funny, I am in a boat - so I should be fine. I guess the currents are a little too strong, and I don’t feel like getting wet. If this was summer, and it was 90 degrees out with 100% humidity - then maybe we could talk about it. Which meant that today was the perfect day to do homework. The one problem is, I am going STIR CRAZY. Sarah went home for the weekend [LUCKY], and I am left alone in the room with my thoughts and my prospects of doing homework.
I finished reading “Measure for Measure”, which was due a week ago. Ugh - not one of Shakespeare’s best. Honestly, Bill doesn’t make sense half the time. I enjoyed “King Lear” though, that was pretty interesting. Probably because it had death, blood and gore. I need to study some more Japanese, and read my China History. I love the exposure to other histories, especially China. I think it’s pretty cool how advanced they were, and were on the cusp of achieving a Utopian society a couple of times. Human nature seemed to have gotten in the way though, as it usually does. I am interested to learn more about the Revolution period, I think that will be fascinating.
But anyways. This week has not provided much for Blog fodder, so I will retire now and wish everyone well. I will be going out later though, I am meeting up with Anna from my Critical Interpreting class. We are planning on going to either Newbury Street or Harvard Square to walk around for a bit. And Starbucks. Mustn’t forget the Starbucks.
