el finde y más

as it is 7:23am on a day I don't have any commitments until 1pm, it appears as though I have lost the ability to sleep in. i went to bed after midnight, so it's not as if i slept excessively. oh well. chances are i'll need to be up by 7:30 every day anyway once my schedule is further solidified.

labor day weekend was very fun. friday night i went to peter and bryan's to hang out, and despite what they (and adam) think, and despite my inability to reach a decent level of intoxication, i had a very nice time. i ended up catching the last T to meet up with christopher, but since he ended up falling asleep on the C and going to the end of the line, thus having to walk 40 minutes back to his place, i ended up just going to bed.

saturday was another day at moogy's - not entirely unpleasant. that night i went to jtree to hang out with christopher's friends and watch the game. so many BC '08 people were there it almost seemed like senior year never ended. *tear*

sunday chris and i left for his place in rhode island, meeting up with bessie, meghan, and kristin at the beach. while i am not a beach person, it was an enjoyable day and satan knows i needed the color. we rounded out the evening with dinner at a local place on the water, mini golf, and then drinking chris' father's alcohol outside on the water before going to bed.

monday we were back to the beach. my snowy white body had taken in enough sun the day before, so i was forced to cover up after a few hours for fear of getting severely burnt. i also made the unfortunate discovery that southern rhode island 'clam cakes' are little more than flavorless balls of fried dough with tiny specks of clam in them. we ended up leaving sometime after 1 so as to make it back to boston without hitting traffic. that night we just relaxed at my place with some vi i formatge before going to bed.

'comparative development of the romance languages' greeted me at 9am tuesday as my first class. i think it is going to be awesome and i can't wait to start the reading. she encouraged us to, in addition to french, spanish, and italian, the main languages we would be working with, to explore other romance languages in our investigations. obvi i'm working with catalan.

speaking of catalan...while sitting in my 1:30 with CF, the girl in front of me turned around and asked if i was jeffrey. i recognized her from class earlier, and she asked if i was the one that mentioned being able to speak some catalan. YES YES YES! it turns out she is from Valencia doing a Linguistics M.A. here, her first language is catalan, and she would love to speak in catalan with! i literally started blushing i was so excited!

i had to work at moogy's 5-10 last night since they were desperate for someone, so i didn't do much else other than that. luckily it wasn't too busy so i didn't fuck everything up. after that i just took care of some things at home like ordering new contacts, then went to bed.
