my 1st week in boston has been amazing. in fact, i couldn't have written a better script. within minutes of arriving in my MIT resident hall, ryan, brian, and i met up, which is the 1st time Team TacoBell has re-united since our internship 2 yrs ago in dc. mayhem was guaranteed to take place. well, we mostly just had ryan show us all around boston and cambridge since he's been livin here for a year. highlights from that 1st weekend when i arrived include:
- brian running through a public fountain
- brian being asked by a park ranger lady to put on a shirt, after which he jokingly ran at her
- brian's insane convo w/ ghandi
- ryan's friend, sushi. enough said
okay, i realize most of memories are inside stories and way too much to type, so i'll stop. basically, it was great. also, work at the lab is pretty amazing, too. right now, i'm researchin 2d pattern matching. i'm trying to find and implement the fastest possible way to determine if 1 image is found within another. i really hope i can do good work, and the environment isn't nearly as rigid as "taco bell's." this weekend was pretty great, too.
just within the one week i've been here, i've been to about 10 places, including some good japanese, chinese, and american eateries. i really appreciate boston's walkable-ness and how much it has to offer. i aim to visit more art-related places soon. i've met some pretty cool friends here, and my room overlooks the charles river and charles bridge. so, i live right at the brink of cambridge and boston. it doesn't get much better than that :) oh, and i'm making a google maps map of all the significant places i visit. i'll post it sometime.
if you could visit for 12 weeks any city in the states, which would it be and why?
