The Sickness
Well, as you can see in my title, I’m a bit homesick. It took a whole three weeks, but it finally happened. It’s so crazy. I love Simmons and I absolutely love Boston, but I miss my family. I feel like I’m missing out on their lives. My mom just had her 25th high school reunion, my cousin give her two-year old daughter a birthday party at my gradmotther’s house, my sister is getting ready to start school for ministry, and another one of my cousins graduated from college in September. It made me really sad not to be able to participate in all those things and just be there. I realized how much I actually liked being apart of their lives and how much I want them to be apart of mine.
City Wide at Harvard
Moving on to a more positive note, I’ve been spending my Friday nights at Harvard. Every Friday, they have this thing called City Wide and it’s where all the Christian college students around Boston come to have a mini service and meet others students around the area who believes in the same thing they do. It’s really fun, There is a live band that leads us into praise and worship and then there is a speaker afterwards. It’s really cool because you get to meet other students from Harvard, Northeastern, Emerson, Boston College, Boston University, Mass College of Art, Mass College of Pharmacy, and a whole lot more. So, the first night I went, they had a Keg party (Root Beer) afterwards at this house called the Wilson house. It was so much fun. And there was actual root beer in the keg. So we made root beer floats and got to know other people. It was fun and you didn’t have to worry about people getting drunk and doing all kinds of crazy things, unlike the parties that go on at MIT.
Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire
So, because I live in Atlanta, I’m not ale to really leave the campus on the weekends and just get away… UNTIL NOW. Every Fall, City Wide has this fall retreat and they go up to Lake Winnepesaukee in New Hampshire and I’m going. The retreat is 99 dollars and I didn’t have the money. So you could sign up for a scholarship and only pay 50, but I get to go for free because the girl who won the free ticket decided she didn’t want to go and Amy (the girl who is over the Christian Fellowship Group at Simmons) thought about me and gave to me. So, now I’m going to New Hampshire this weekend. Yay Me!!!
“I Have A Dream” Visitor
Yay!!! A visitor!!! So, I’ve been in this program called “I Have A Dream” since I was in third grade and it was really great. They helped us with homework, made sure we were on track in school, they took us on fieldtrips (in state and out of state), they supported us, they showed up to our performances, and they came to our graduations. And they paid for everything we ever did. All we had to do was show up and bring our permission slips. But they best thing they did was pay for me to come to simmons and you pretty know how much that costed. (Thanks to the Sponsors. I really appreciate it and I am enjoying Simmons) But anyways, Ms. Meuse, the projet director of the program came to visit me on Thursday. It was fun hanging out with her. I showed her my room and some of the residence campus. Then I took her Harvard Square and we ate at this place called Fire and Ice. Then we did a little shopping at Copley Square. It was a good day. I had a lot of fun. (Thanks Ms. Meuse for coming. Maybe you can come again and see the main campus)
