an extremely mediocre blog entry

Throughout the day, I'll think of little things that I'd like to write, I guess that's the English student in me. Eventually, I forget all the little things and end up having nothing to say once I sit down at the computer.

Yesterday, my cousin moved to France for the month. It seems that everyone is going abroad except me! I'm going to try to save & go to Greece next summer. We'll see how that goes though, sometimes I struggle with saving money, especially when Coach makes such pretty things.

I moved into my cousin's room since he's going to be gone for so long. There's a nice big comfy bed and I can see some of the city from my window. It's quite nice if I do say so myself, plus he has an extensive collection of lego figures from his younger years that I've yet to investigate.  I'm still trying to get used to all the noises of the city, especially since there's a fire station across the street. That would be the only downside, if you can even call it that, of living here, but I'm sure it'll all be background noise soon enough.

I had my first day of work at Boston University today and it went very well. So far I haven't had to know anything about Chemistry, so hopefully it stays that way. I took the T after work, and, after waiting for the wrong train twice, I finally made it home. Maybe I am a city girl after all.

Cayla is in Liechtenstein today, which basically looks like a tiny little watermark on the map of Europe. I'd never even heard of it until she told me about it. It's super gorgeous though, and today they're going on a tour of all the castles. She's been sending a few emails, like these from Paris:

"Hey guys

I am in Paris right now and it is so pretty! I am having a great time, they have a different keyboard here though, so I am really struggling to type! i also cannot find the period!"

"the effiel tower was AMAZING! it sparkles with a bunch of strobe lights every hour at night and we watched it from the grass after we WALKED down from the second level because the "lift" broke!"

I was actually a little confused when she seemed so excited until she explained the period fiasco. Cayla isn't really one to send enthusiastic messages, even when she is feeling especially enthusiastic. But basically, she's having a great time and is going to sleep for about a week when she gets home. 

Since all of my good blog-thoughts drifted out somewhere between BU and home, I suppose I will go find something else to do. I should probably try to do something at least a little productive, but I'm not going to lie it probably won't happy.

cheers,
