This past weekend Claire and I ventured down to Boston. It's roughly an eight hour bus ride but it actually wasn't too bad. You know how ostriches bury their heads in the ground when they get scared? Their theory being that if they can't see the scary things then the scary things can't see them. Although Ostriches don't actually do that, I can understand their logic because for most of our trip it was so dark that I could barely see my own hands. Thus since I couldn't actually see the road trip happening, I felt like it wasn't actually happening. It mostly just felt like I was napping with my eyes open.
Upon our arrival in Boston, we were greeted by our two friends from high school who both go to different schools in Boston. From there we went back to our friend Lucy's dorm/apartment (where we stayed) and crashed. Unfortunately, the weekend ended up being less of a historical tour of Boston and more of a chance for us to catch up with our high school friends while walking around Boston. Regardless though, I am completely charmed by the city. I'm very intrigued by the thought of moving there at some point.
One of the best parts about the weekend overall was being exposed to yet another college experience and realizing that perhaps lewis and clark doesn't have everything I need/ should be getting from a college. Between seeing McGill, Middlebury, and NorthEastern, it just seems like there's so much college can offer you that I was unaware of. So, in the interest of keeping my options open, I decided that I'm going to start applying to a few other schools. Right now University of Vermont in Burlington is at the top of my list but I promise to keep you posted.
