today was busy: boston day they called it. breakfast with a small group, then class picture, then off to boston for the afternoon. no scheduled time for lunch. i was in the group that went to the mfa, so, i have now been there! i'd like to go back another day when i have more time, and with my student id i get in free. very nice. although i must say the met is better. they have the armory. after the mfa we walked to the prudential center - another place i hadn't been to before. we didn't have much time there either, so i didn't go anywhere special. just starbucks then barnes&nobles. so i need to go back someday and go to the top. then to the T to gov't center and went to a church service at some historical church. then went to quincy market for dinner. the harbor cruise was cancelled cause the weather's been wet, but we came back here. and oh my goodness. the band they got for the cruise came here to play. apparently they're the best dance band in boston, or something like that (definitely secular songs, which amused me). and they were GOOD. i was impressed. amazing bass player and drummer. go bass! so there was a dance party thing. fun. good music. amusing people. good day.
funny thing, i've been hanging not with freshmen, but with older people (heh) who are running orientation. and i keep running into English majors! and talking to them. and finding how much i have in common with some of them. the whole not liking shopping, but adoring bookstores? yeah, very english major-ish. but it's cool. i've enjoyed getting to know people. the one thing? i think both of the people i spent the most time with today (who are both english majors and very cool) are studying away this year. grr. must find friends who will be on campus. and i really want to somehow manage to meet the physics majors (smarter people...) but things are going well. final registration is tomorrow. and i must get sleep. and WAY too many people know the words to "i want it that way" or whatever it's called. WAY too many people know ALL the words. i am scared.
