adeu, spring break

well i guess "spring" break is over, with two warm sunny days to cap it off. tomorrow we're dropping 30 degrees and will be greeted with rain and snow aka wintry mix. FML for real - i hate boston weather more and more.

despite my being trapped in Allston, it was lovely to have a low key week sans bc classes. i ended up only having BU once thanks to my professor being sick, so that was a pleasant surprise thursday morning. i put in two hours at gsas monday thru thursday - the hours were annoying, but i'm not going to complain; $$$=good.

i finally saw Slumdog Millionare with Chris on Tuesday night. looking back on it I like it more and more, though its hard to be amazed when everyone says it is god's gift to movies, it wins the Oscar, etc. i really enjoyed the movie's layout as a series of past events relating to each question on who wants to be a millionare. the music is also obviously great - i've had the soundtrack for a few months now.

wednesday during the day chris and i just chilled. we went to the Armenian grocery for some stuff (including Rose syrup for my turkish delight drink!) and then baked these really tasty cookies. That night we were invited to ines' for dinner, joined by ana, leticia, esteban, and carlos. we had tortilla and pisto along with some cheeses. it ended up being a shitshow thanks to sangria, port, vino verde, and rum and coke. i must say i've never had a rum and coke quite so delicious. perhaps it was because someone from the Caribbean made them :-)

the weekend wasn't overly exciting - friday we pregamed at Kristen's co-worker Jessie's, then went to a fundraiser at Bell in Hand. Thanks to Chris forgetting his ID, debit card, etc. upon going to the next bar, it ended up being a whole fiasco cabbing back and forth and whatnot. we ended up just T-ing it back and ordering chinese. a similar thing happened saturday night after ned devine's with melanie. we were blowing so much money and not feeling intoxicated enough to have fun so we T'd it back and got pizza and mozzarella sticks at natalie's. i now must starve all week.

on account of the beautiful weather yesterday i did force myself to go out and do something, so i decided to do some shopping on newbury and at copley. the ben sherman store STILL isn't open, and i really just ended up hating most of the stuff at the places i went to. club monaco still has my vest...and its still $100. BLEH. i ended up just buying some Matevana tea at teavana - at least the cashier guy was cute. basically it was all a bust, and i hated the hordes of people out and about, particularly the hipster-esque scumbags that seem to be taking over the city. VOM.


this day is already tedious. i have to teach English after school at Trinity Catholic tomorrow but have no idea what to do and no direction. great!
