Bean Town--HAAAARRRVARD--Bonjour

1. Wednesday I took a nice day off from school and decided to go to Boston with Justin! The ride up was midly amusing and consited of finding a train station in Attelboro, waiting, going on the train, talking, and planning an afternoon of fun!!!

We arrived at South Station where I promptly called Noam to inform him that I was infact in town. He was shocked and upset, because he had a busy schuelde and I didn't know if he would be able to entertain Justin and I at all. After a short Chinese lunch we decided to take a hike out of the building and wander around Boston. The map outside did not do any help and as I looked up, I saw two large pillars introducing Boston's Chinatown. Justin and I begain our adventure walking in a couple squares around Chinatown. We walked past a store which introduced its consumers to a plethora of skinned animals hanging in the window front. I was amused, and joked about calling my mom to see if she needed anything for cooking.

After walking through many streets filled with coffee shops and stores, I got a call from Noam who directed me to come to Harvard, IMMEDIATELY! We ran frantically around to find the Arlington train stop and followed the directions to Harvard. Noam met us outside of the bus stop and gave Justin and I a grand tour of Harvard square. We spoke alittle outside of Au Bon Pain, and got drinks. I met Reed, who was a fellow Magic player and one of Noams roommates, and we went back to their dorm.

After Noams leave for class, Justin and I decided to hop on the train back to Attelboro and go home! Which we did....no surprise there except that I fell asleep as usual, and played Padiddle going home! End of story.


2. Thursday my french class took a field trip to TollGate to see a womans concert. I don't remember her name or would I have any idea about how to spell it anyways. I spent both the ride there and back with Katherine talking, and joking around. Getting there Katherine, Kaila, and I both noticed a girl dressed much like Corinne Southern would, as we saw her and many other gather on stage to play spoons to one of the songs. After a couple classic French songs the woman called for volunteers to dance and knowing me, I jumped at the opportunity with Jarrod Pierce.

The woman instructed the men to gather in a tight circle facing outward and the girls to make a circle around. "When the music starts the girls dance around the men however you wish, skipping, dancing, and moving all around." I was next the girl who I noticed earlier and leaned over and said "things could get alittle crazy with some of the girls here." She replies "yeah, I know...too bad they didn't have some girls in the middle" while exchanging sexual glances. I laughed nervously saying "Yeah, I know what you mean." As the music began I ran around, dancing "The Tom dance" and just "rock rocking it." We stopped and I grabbed this short guy and said dance with me, I know how to Waltz (which we were suppose to do). Instead of dancing, he looked at me, screamed and ran away. Oh, was I pissed...I walked towards him and as he ran away, I stopped, yelled at him...and just stood there for some time with my mouth wide open in shock. The woman sang, now switch your partners, and women in the middle. In my mind the plan was to dance with the girl who I talked to, but instead I stopped in front of Jarrod Pierce, and we ran to the other side of the stage, and I taught him how to waltz. We all jumped off stage very satisfied.

As each school was leaving, Chariho was already gathered outside. The girl and I both noticed each other making eye contact as she was walking down from the school. Casually we said our goodbyes. "Ciao" and I replied "See ya later, have a nice day." She boarded her bus, having her friends look at me, as she waved goodbye. I waved back, as Kaila yells "you are a chick magnet." I loved it...but too bad I didn't grab a number!
