boston - week 9 and 10

okay, clearly history repeats itself. i've somehow gone two weeks again without posting. so, i'm not really sure what all has happened in the meantime, but it's definitely been good. i've felt really grateful lately for this summer--being able to live in boston, and turns out the internship only has a 10% acceptance rate. i had no idea. it's been a blast. all the other interns left 2 weeks ago, as their schools are normal (i.e. on the semester system, not quarter). so, it's just been me chillin in my new harvard/porter square apartment, and going to work each day. i realized that my schedule is pretty tight: leave front door for work at 7:30am, commute, work, gym, commute home, and it's 8pm. cook and eat, then it's 9pm. oh well.

last week, i walked to harvard to take some pics. originally i was taking pics of their grandiose, 1700s style buildings, but i ended up getting distracted by a garden of flowers and a bee. so, that consumed most of my pictures. i realize that sounds very masculine.






today was an amazing day. my tuition stuff was accepted, and i get to save $5k per quarter! (my 10-week tuition goes down from 8.3k to 3.3k). that's so hard to believe. that's soooo cheap compared to florida tech. 3.3k x 3 quarters = ~10k/yr. FIT is ~33k. yay for public schools. also, i think i got a new roommate today, and work is going well.

this week's indo lesson for the readers:
boleh saya minta aire botol = may i have a bottle of water
"bo-lay sigh-ya mean-ta eye-rrree bo-tall"

i have a feeling i'll be saying that very often when i'm there. it's quite possibly the most important phrase i've learned.
