My first week of classes passed, and the next one came.. and already I am spending my afternoons, evenings, and nights reading all the things assigned. I am fascinated by all that I read - I love it. I love art history, so I love reading the homework assignments, though they do take a very long time together with all the other assignments… My room finally looks like a room, I have my pictures up. Though I am still waiting on a few vitals to be shipped to me by my friends (one of which is a coat! The weather is getting colder, and I am slowly realising that I will need it pretty soon). I have pretty much learnt where to find things at Simmons, and who to ask if I cannot find them. Simmons is roaring with life during the mornings and afternoons, its even hard to find a quiet little corner in the library, but during the evenings everything seems to slow down, and become almost still (apart from the frequent screaming of the ambulances!!) but I am yet to find out more about Boston! I have mastered the “T”, and I have been downtown, sadly only when it was dark, and I need to go sometime when I can actually see it. I am devising a plan of studying all week days, so that I can get my weekends off for exploring.
I am slowly finding out how inconvenient it is to not have a phone, as that is how everyone communicates here, and I have had my roommates worry about me several times whether I got lost in this new big city, and I have not been able to find a working pay phone which I could use to inform them otherwise. So once I receive my little paper card in the mail containing a number, which Americans are assigned at birth, I will be able to go out there and purchase a phone.
It feels like I ave been here for quite a while, and I can hardly believe its only been a week, and a bit..
Ataa!! (bye)
