Hey friends!! What’s goin’ on? I’ve been back in Boston for about a week now, still getting settled and all that good stuff! Readjusting to the frigid temp’s hasn’t been too bad, it’s about the same temperature that it was when I left. Soo…I just throw on THREE jackets when I leave, and I’m good!!
My girlfriend from home came to visit, so we had a blasty exploring Boston and sightseeing.
It’s so funny because ALL of my friends can easily sleep till noon or later! I, on the other hand….always wake up by 8 am, probably because I’m so excited to eat breakfast…
Before she came, I had to attack this beast…
BAH isn’t unpacking the worst?? (Momz I swear it’s clean now
)
For lunch, I took my friend over to Harvard so we could walk around and see Ivy League-ers in their natural habitat
We stopped at Crema Cafe for lunch, which is in the neighborhood, and often spotted in many-a-Boston blog, probably because it is amazing!!
I ordered the Sweet Potato sandwich, which was out of this world good!! This sandwich contained my top favorite foods: including SP, hummus, sprouts, vinaigrette, avocado and green apple. I know right!??! I can’t wait for someone to visit so I can take them!
I ordered a latte before the sandwich, I’ve never had one with artistic foam!! Love it.
After devouring, my friend and I wandered back in the cold. It was hard to stay outside for too long, our faces would freeze off!! We managed somehow, and I took her to Boston Common and around downtown Boston.
This is the graveyard where Ben Franklin is buried, cool!
Public Garden.
My friend went back to stay with her other friends here, so I had a chill night in the apartment. Looks like it’s back to my homemade Mexican food until I can go back home!! TJ’s Chipotle-Lime Chicken burgers are perfect for a quick Mexican food-fix.
Score!! I found these in the bottom of the pantry….stale? Perhaps…delicious? Of course!!
I ate dinner and spent the night watching The Tudors on my Netflix “instant watch”. That show is good!! I mean, definitely not for the younglings (OH my B- she’s 19 now!! Happy Birthday HG!!) But it will definitely hold me over until the new Bach next week
Other than that, I’ve just been taking care of errands and organizing my life before school starts. Lucky for me, it doesn’t start until Jan. 25, but of course I’m already stressed! This semester I’m taking: Anatomy/Physiology II, Food/Nutrition with lab, and Human Growth/Development (psychology). It will be tough, but at least I’m done with math!
Question: My roommate and I are trying to decorate our place, without breaking the bank! We are yearning for some wall decor, i.e. framed pictures/posters/photos. I was browsing on AllPosters (dot)com, but even the “cheap” framed vintage posters are about $40. I know so many bloggers/readers out there share my affinity for sparsely-funded decorating, so if you have any ideas…or can paint a really awesome mural ;D Please feel free to holla at me!!
Hope everyone is having a great week, stay warm, ciao!!
