Life After Connecticut College

I flew back on sunday night...of course when another nor-easter hit the boston area. By the time my flight reached the boston area monday morning logan had closed due to failing radio transmission equipment..so we made a big 180 and headed to Newburgh, NY. In case all you didn't know there's a quaint little airport south of poughkipsee(i have no idea on that spelling..i think i'm close). We landed at Stewart airport for about an hour, refueled and de-iced until logan opened back up. We arrived in Boston finally at around 11am (i was supposed to arrive at 8am so that i could make it to work....yah right!). Since it was a nannying day i decided to skip work and head home. When I got home my poor dog practically knocked me down...although my roommates had taken him for the required 3 walks per day, he hadn't eaten any food in my absence. Needless to say...he's a mama's boy!
I spent the week going to work and then got to hang out with Laurel Mitchell '09 who was still home for break. We took a roadtrip (about 30min drive) up to Burlington, MA to meet up with another physics friend for Korean BBQ (my favorite food). It was delicious!!! but I could tell by the looks of the other patrons that they were not used to non-korean customers...which didn't help when I butchered my way through ordering.
This weekend was filled with conn-reunions! But first I have mention my ridiculous friday night...My friend Nick (once a conn '09er...now a farmer) and I went to see Cloverfield...which was awesome!!! definitly see it in theaters!
One of those movies that leaves you in a weird mood and I expected as we walked to the car through the commons that an an alien was about to come storming through copley. Anywho...so we got out of the movie at around 9:30pm and since we hadn't eaten yet, we decided to head to harvard sq. to get some Felipe's (damn good burritos). It's extremely hard to find parking in that area on a friday evening so we parked a few blocks away in an alley. As we were about to pay for our burrito's, I realized that I didn't have my wallet and figured I had left it in the car. Not really concerned about it..we got back to the car and drove off. Right before we turned out of the square I realized I had no idea where my wallet was. crap!!! That feeling sucks! After some calming down from nick we backtracked to where we had parked and there, lying on the side of my road was my wallet, untouched. Yay!!! This would have been a tremendous loss for me because in the moving to boston process I had stuck my social security card and my birth certificate in my over-sized wallet and had forgotten to take them out. So whew! So then I was shouting with happiness and kicking myself for my stupidity. Not a minute went by that I get a call from my father and his girlfriend saying that my dad finally popped the question! Poor Nick's ears...that's all I gotta say.
Later that night after letting everything sink in and devouring those delicious burritos, nick and I headed to THe Western Front in cambridge where we met up with Eric, Meg and Eliza '06. It was a cool venue but a really bad dj...oh well. The next night I made it over to Mike King's '06 house in Wayland, MA with Eric Podolsky '06 and Nathan Peirce '04...also a few other conn kids were there. We played some drinking games which brought me right back to college (i think i can say that). It was really fun! I almost forgot that I had left. It was strange spending the whole week/weekend with conn classes ranging 04 thru -09.
Anyway....I think i've said enough for now. I just heard on npr (which is playing on the background...yes i can listen to npr and talk about my life at the same time) that Heath Ledger died today...that's really sad..he was only 28...so RIP Heath!
