Weather

Oh, the weather. How quickly it changes! One day is hot and humid, the next is beautiful and sunny, and still, the next is wet. Last Friday was a wet day. Very, very wet. I went to study in Harvard Square and not having been around Harvard Square at all, I didn't know where any good place to study was. So, I was walking around with a friend trying to find a place to set our packs down and open the books. We went into a tea shop and it was okay, but didn't stay. We went into a coffee shop, which would have been nice if it weren't for all the people. Not finding a single free seat inside, we left to go on to find another place. Third time's a charm! Or, not. We sat down and were getting ready to pull our books out and then the waitress comes to tell us that the fire marshals are coming to check the sprinklers upstairs to make sure they work so everyone has to go downstairs. Well then, we go downstairs and it was too crowded. So, no more room and we left. We left to another cafe-type place that was super crowded and super loud. Keep in mind that it was pouring rain while we were going from place to place. We waited for Shirin at the fourth place and once she met up with us, we went on to the fifth potential study place for the day. We ended up at Peet's, which was a great choice and it ended up to be a pretty good study session. We were soaking wet, but we made it. I really wanted to go to a local place, but nothing was working out for us, so Peet's ended up being the best choice. Oh yes, it was also Green Friday in the middle of Harvard Square. This means that people were at a stand trying to hand out free green items. There was green jell-o, limeade, and some kind of tart/pastry thing with kiwi and honeydew on top. The jell-o was not very good, the limeade was very tart, and the fruit thing was good, but a bit crumbly. While we were studying, there were times when the rain just came gushing down in a downpour. I have never had as wet of a summer as I did this year. But, I have also been in California every summer until this year. Since Friday, it hasn't rained (a whole week without rain--rather exciting!) and it's supposed to be nice for a few more days as well. But, I'm going home tomorrow morning anyway. We've had a few humid days this last week, but for the most part, it's been really nice weather this week and today is BEAUTIFUL! What a day for my last day in Boston!

Although it's been nice this last week, I haven't been able to enjoy it much since I was inside studying for the entire week. I had my final tests this last week and I think I did pretty well. No more human cadaver lab, which is sad. We had our last day with them Thursday during our practical and I definitely took one last deep breath as I walked into the room. They served us well and I'm really thankful to those people for donating their bodies so I could have the opportunity to learn. I was able to see some pretty interesting things and it was a very valuable learning experience. Now, it's time to go off and finish up some laundry, have some fun in Boston, and pack a few things so I can go to the airport to fly to California early tomorrow morning! So excited to go home and see many of you and have some real summer weather and to be able to enjoy it! :)
