My first day alone

I'm making some progress - still surrounded by boxes, but I've assembled a few things, finally received my proper keys, and turned in the original lease. I hit another road closure coming back from the management office, but successfully found my way back home. Izzy and I explored Franklin Park today which was pretty cool.

I also found a really helpful Boston Neighborhood website. That one says I live in JP. USPS says I live in Roxbury. My lease says Boston. All three appear to work as the city/town in a mailing address, but it's a little tricky.

Just made a run to the CISP office and got a textbook for $25! I'm excited about that, because the rest of my books will be closer to $150. I tried to pick up my T pass at the cashiers office but it's not ready yet. I wandered around campus for a while which was fun - I haven't really seen Northeastern besides the law school and gym, and it has a really pretty campus, especially for a city school.

I made plans to go to Maine this weekend with BrandonB and his friends - I'm so excited. 3 days of beautiful Mt. Desert Island, hiking, boating, etc, with Izzy too.

I'm trying to plan what else to do- these two weeks are going to go so fast! I have to go to student health and get a tetanus shot :( I was hoping to check out the Museum of Fine Arts, which is right next to campus, but tickets cost $21.50! I guess I've gotten spoiled with DC and all its free Smithsonian museums. Just checked the Franklin Zoo - another $14.00. Ugh. I will splurge for the Aquarium, which is $21.95. I have totally gotten sucked in by these great ads all over the city with penguins and I really want to check it out.

Time for more IKEA assembling...
