hockey

last summer, I posted this while I was in Boston. and yes, the feeling is still the same. I would love to stay here forever.

I'm not going to lie, if I had the money, I'd move to Boston permanently right now. I'd bring all my friends, family, and (of course) pets with me. I'd pretend like Arizona didn't exist anymore. when you get a taste of something so great, it's hard to be satisfied with what you had before. I love everyone in Arizona, but the place itself isn't all it's cracked up to be. Three more semesters at ASU & I'm out of thereee.

Right now, I'm sitting in my aunt & uncle's apartment watching the colbert report. 15 minutes until the bruins game is on! I'm not going to lie, I wasn't that much of a hockey fan before I got here, which you know, was just last week. I watched a lot of the Capitals while I was in DC over spring break, but then never really kept up with the season. Even though we have the Coyotes, it's kind of hard to get excited about hockey when you live in the middle of a desert wasteland. but everyone loves to watch hockey, even if the game isn't great there's always a few fights that keep it interesting. plus, they'll be back in Boston for the next game. Not that I'll be going (a girl I work with and I looked up tickets today, $100,000 for a box!), but it'll still be cool. and THEN if they win they'll be a great big celebration and parade. I haven't been to a sports victory parade since the diamondbacks won the world series in 2001, the last time arizona did anything worth noticing in sports (sorry cardinals).

A commercial just came on tv for some tablet, there was a guy talking really loud and annoyingly on his cell phone on a bus. It reminded me of all the interesting and sometimes annoying people I've seen on the T so far. A few days ago, this guy on the train got a phone call. He answering and insisted on talking loud enough for everyone in every car to hear. And it wasn't just a normal conversation. He was dressed like a respectable businessman, but he was obviously trying to impress whatever bro was on the phone. "Ya I'm just on the T bro, nah I think I'm going to chill at Josh's crib tonight". One of THOSE guys. Not so great. I could go on with more examples, but it's hockey time!

Also,  Cayla is FINALLY coming home from Europe on Monday. I won't see her for a while, but I'll finally be able to harass her over text and facebook again. hooray!

cheers,

lauren

p.s. THEY WON. HOORAY BRUINS!
