i'm sitting on the floor of an apartment on newbury street in boston trying to do my essay, which is due on tuesday after thanksgiving break. i woke up today to find somebody i didn't know sleeping in the other bed across the room and woke up today the clock on the table shining the huge numbers: 4:00 PM. that makes fourteen hours of interrupted sleep - blanket hogging, kicking, turning, elbowing, and surreptitious sleep cursing.
i am still so tired.
i woke up at 6am yesterday to go down to the mall in Lechmere because it was BLACK FRIDAY (read huge sales and no taxes) the last time i was up at six was either A) sometime in summer when i didn't go to bed at all that night, B) the last day of school in st nicks. we took a cab down to Lechmere and got there at 6:45. i could hardly imagine that i was shopping at 7am in the morning.
bought wayy too little stuff, spent wayy too much money.
its been great spending thanksgiving with aimee, crystal, melanie, sarah and edward, who were kind enough to let me just crash their place for a whole six days, and anabelle who was willling to put me up if i could't have stayed with aimee, and roxy who knew boston inside out and was just was downright entertaining. then there was the endless cooking adventures - roasted chicken, pork ribs, udon, ravioli, french toast, blueberry pie.
