It's the late afternoon and I have some downtime so I thought I'd show everyone my dorm room! It's nothing special, but instead pretty ordinary.

This is my area of the room. I live in a triple, so I have two roommates. We each have a lofted bed, a wardrobe, a desk, and a dresser.



My desk area is pretty plain right now. I'm going to decorate it more someday and make it more personal.



And this is the view from our room. The sun shines on the field in the morning and it looks really nice. A great way to wake up!



Well, that's that. I went to matriculation today; it was kind of boring but not too long, thankfully. And then there was SPLASH, where all the clubs and organizations and such set up tables at the field. They handed out a bunch of free stuff. I then had lunch with my friend Rachel, who went to my high school and is also attending BU. We hung out in her room for a little before I treked all across campus back to my dorm at West.

Tomorrow is going to be a free day. And then classes start Wednesday. Eeks!

all moved in

I wanted to write a long, extensive entry about the last couple days. But I think that's going to have to wait until later because my roommates are going to sleep soon and I don't have the patience right now. It's been a long day...

I PROMISE there will be a good post soon with personal photos.

Tomorrow we have to get up early for a freshman matriculation ceremony. Ugh!

Here is a little short update as I take a break from packing.

Yes, PACKING!! Tomorrow is the day I finally move into my dorm. And I put off packing until the last minute, as usual. Right now, it consists of me dumping clothes into a suitcase, hoping that it will all fit so I don't have to actually fold them. But it looks like I will have to make room.

It kind of sucks that the weekend is gonna be crappy rainy weather. Today I went with Jeff to drop some things off at his dorm (or suite, to be more correct). Then we decided to go shopping at Wrentham because I wanted to see their American Apparel. I got a purple poplin dress and a dark grey skirt.

My family celebrated my grandfather's 70th birthday today too. Tomorrow we're gonna celebrate it again, but at a restaurant.

Actually, today was full of bad luck. My dad's new scooter got stolen, along with his bunch of keys that were inside it. We got trapped in the pouring rain, and got a parking ticket.

Things will get better though, right? That's how it always is.

I should get back to packing. I don't want to stay up all night!

I think I'm in a blogging rut or something.

I don't really know what to write about these days.

Summer is ending soon. I don't know if I should be happy or sad, so I'm feeling both.

Isn't that a gorgeous bag? One day...

late

This was written two days ago but I just posted it now...

I have a bad memory so when I wait to update about the weekend, my brain kind of mushes up. It's because I usually get home late and am too tired to write. And I also haven't been taking many photos so sorry if the posts are bland.

On Friday, Jeff and I went to eat dim sum, since it's been a while since. After that, it was time to shop. We walked around Newbury Street and the Prudential Mall for a little bit. Jeff bought me a tote from Marc by Marc Jacobs and he bought a suit jacket from H&M. I also picked up a brush cleanser from MAC.

That evening, we met up with some of my best friends from high school. We are all leaving for college soon, so we wanted to get together. We ate Chinese food in a playground and then got ice cream sundaes at Friendly's before running through the parking lot in shopping carts and sitting in Best Buy before it closed. It was like the first time I'd seen them all summer!

Saturday was Jeff's 19th birthday! We went to eat dim sum again with his brothers. Then I was being lazy so I slept in his bed while he cleaned his room. Yes, I suck. Later, we decided to go to the mall before we went to eat at Minado's for dinner. I get full too easily for buffets.



Yesterday, Sunday, was pretty much a lazy day. We watched a lot of TV (The Italian Job, Harry Potter, ABDC) and went grocery shopping for unhealthy packaged foods. It was still good though. Hehe.

It is my last week of work and then on Saturday, I move into my dorm. I can't wait. Still have a little dorm shopping to do though.
