Okay, so it's actually past a month, point being, a little over a month ago, I arrived here, wide-eyed and scared and cautiously excited at the prospect of my new life here in the cultural little city of Boston. The pangs of homesickness are still ever-present, albeit, I don't think that pang shall ever go away, but the loneliness has subsided. There are new friends and faces, and even some old ones. I know TWO people who went to UCI at the same time I did as well as TWO people who have gone to Western High. 'Tis a small world after all. (Yeah, I know, cliche much?) For the party girl in me, I didn't have to go a whole month without getting drunk or crazy. I went to a Harvard party last week, and let me tell you, those harvard intellectuals sure know how to party it up. As for the el-cheapo in me, I've found a TARGET! It was in the South Bay Shopping Center that was like a hallmark to suburbia... I thought I'd never see a parking lot again... *sigh* =)
A month has found me with TV, new sheets, cable internet, an ipod, two laundry trips, two posters put up and two exams. For next month, the goals are: desk, snow boots, futon/couch, pots & pans, microwave, and bathroom organizer!

Strange Mood
In a strange mood this morning. Probably due to still not being in repossession of my wallet yet... probably also due to too much web surfing! *sigh* Don't ask questions with answers you don't want to hear. ;)
It's Friday night. The girls are going out, or so I've been told. Evidently, they all decided to start going out and partying AFTER I left. Hehe, silly girls, can never get our timing right. And by the time I get back, they'll end that particular phase of the cycle and go back to being recluse and... dare I say, boring? No, my girls aren't boring, just ridiculously silly, and I totally miss them, as well as my Mokroopals, poker night buddies and family members.
Have a good weekend all, don't waste any of the good times.

When it rains, it pours...
I never owned an umbrella in California, I never had the need. Car always provided good protection, and if I happend to be at school, all I had to do was make a run for it and I'd be okay.
Definitely not the case here. I thought I could hack it without the protection, but I was sorely (or should I say wetly) mistaken. It's only a five minute walk to school but I was drenched from head to toe. My feet are STILL wet and I'm hoping I won't have to pay for m mistake with a cold later. One of my goals here in Boston was to NOT get sick. Which reminds me, I should buy some multi-vitamins. It's stopped raining for now and hopefully will stay that way until I can get my hands on an umbrella. Yes, I must succumb to the need.
MJ and Vikki were here this weekend and provided a nice reprieve from my loneliness. M and I had lots of fun (or should I say drinks) at a random club and we got to meet some cute Irish guys. The next day we did some shopping and had some more drinks and watched a movie. Ditz that I am, I left my wallet in the taxi that we took back home. Fortunately, when I called my credit card company to report my card lost, they informed me that the police had called to say that they found it. PHEW! However, I still have to make my way over to the police station and retrieve it. Hopefully everything is still in there. And then I can FINALLY call the cable people and tell them I need internet ASAP.
I've discovered that the chinese food downstairs is hella good and not too expensive, so I shall be dining there more often. Somehow I'm going to have to find a way to eat healthy and inexpensively, but I just haven't figured it out yet.
Adjusting to life here is becoming easier everyday. It certainly helps to have a TV to help the nights go by faster. If only I could get the internet going, then I could at least talk to some people!
Mom and Dad still call everyday, and while our conversations aren't long, I find myself looking forward to their calls. I should probably call Nam sometime soon, just so he doesn't forget about me.
When I get my credit card back, I can finally go out and buy some more stuff for my apt!

Poker Night
Well, it's Thursday, and Thursday night is usually poker night. Alas, I'm 3000 miles away now so I can no longer partake in poker night. I'm sad, and earlier I even contemplated the idea of PartyPoker.com, to which my rational brain decided that that would be a bad idea. I mostly miss hanging out with the guys. Chilling with the boys was always a highlight of my week.
Mom still calls me everyday, presumably to make sure that I am still alive. I of course never would've guessed how much I would miss mom and dad.
School email still isn't working. Internet still not hooked up yet at home. Weather is better though. :)
