now that the test is over I'm feeling much more care free!! although, the past two weeks have been fun-filled. I've been studying a lot but also trying to enjoy Boston!
I have experienced trivia night at the White Horse in Allston, spent some time getting advice and hearing stories from a homeless man in the Boston Commons (my conversation with Tom was truly a God thing because he encouraged me to continue to pursue my dream of becoming a nurse, and he shared some inspiring stories from his life with me. It was a blessing to talk to him, and I know that he was heaven sent!) I've also been enjoying going to Young Life weekly meetings where we are talking about different aspects of the christian life and I'm thankful to be meeting other christians my age that live in the Boston area.
My roommates and I have enjoyed watching the Red Sox play with Bostonians, and from the comfort of our own apartment. Last night we watched from Harvard Square and could not believe the outcome. Soxtober continues and the men down at the fish market have more to talk about!
Columbus Day weekend was a blur of activities. On Saturday my roommates and I headed down to Haymarket (a large farmers market) for some grocery shopping and explored the North End of Boston, complete with pizza and some pastries from Mike's! I then met Katie, my former boss in admissions at Valpo, down at Copley Square in Back Bay for some Starbucks and people viewing in the public gardens! We finished our night off with some more pizza from Upper Crust on Newbury Street!
Sunday was busy as I tried another new church right here in Harvard Square, walked around Harvard Square to enjoy Oktoberfest (even sat on the longest couch in the world!) and then headed into Andover, MA to an incredible house to celebrate KKG Founder's Day with the Boston Alumni Association.
Monday was the day I'd been waiting all weekend for- the roommates and I headed out to Concord/Lexington to hike around history. It was beautiful with the leaves changing! Plus, learning about the Revolutionary War, seeing where so many famous literary figures are buried, and visiting Orchard House (where Little Women takes place!) was super exciting!
The rest of the week was long as I spent all my time studying for the test. I took the test yesterday (see previous post) and am currently preparing for my flight to visit Kristin for the weekend!! I'm excited to be with family and get my mind off the outcome of the exam! PITTSBURGH HERE I COME!!
