So...lets see...first of all I want to thank Chris Reilly for choosing the 6 of us to publicly display our lives after Conn. I've never been a "blogger", I don't even use myspace..I guess I'm pretty loyal to facebook which I noticed most '07 alumns have been. The greatest thing about facebook...aside from the new scrabble application...is the message "thread". My riverridge roommate Laura Brown (who now lives in Barcelona) started a thread about a week ago and since then my other 3 riverridge roommates and I have been sort of 'reunited' through facebook which seems ridiculous since we're close friends but it has been very easy to get out of touch with even my closest friends during this first year of our "real lives". I'm sure many of you can relate.
Alright I guess I'm supposed to update you all on my life...
Boston is a really tough city to live in. ESPECIALLY when you don't know very many people. It's a transitional city where most people only stay for a few years either during college or right after college. You'd think that with all these college-age people wandering around it would be easy to meet people but you're WRONG. And maybe you're just thinking that "you're just being antisocial and it doesn't help that you work one job with 60 year olds and another job with a 5 month old" but I do have a couple good friends who have lived here for 4 years or more who feel the same way as I do. Alright I'm done ragging on Boston for now. I mean a lot of things are good like I have a great house, great roommates, the red sox won...
Ok so...exciting things in my life...
I just booked a flight to Washington DC! I've never been there so that's exciting. Me, H. Duncan Rollason and Jesse Taylor-Waldman are visiting Alex Tenenbaum and Eric Cloutier who live there together. So I'll let you know how that goes on my next entry.
Flying to California for christmas and hopefully seeing Ms. Trent Hardman before she moves to Brazil.
I guess what's important to know is that I'm making every effort to get together with people at Conn who truly had an impact on my life and to stay connected. Maybe the Chris Reilly mentality is rubbing off on me but I think that Conn gave us all something really special and we should never forget that. Alright I'm done being sappy and I really have to get back to work!!!
