back in the bay..
so i know i didn't finish up with my daily blog deal but there wasn't much to the rest of my trip. after my last blog i headed out to MIT and harvard. i actually didn't go alone because one of my roommates in the hostel planned to go there too. so first of all i didn't get up in time for the breakfast that day so i headed out to dunkin donuts. their food was not up to par with my standards anyway. the mini-bagel with butter and jam was not that great and the milk with my cereal must have came from a powdered box kinda thing. anyways i had one of those flatbread sanwich and a dunkachino for breakfast that day. then matt and i walked up massachusetts ave towards MIT. omg, that was a hella far ass walk and i was just like, can we take the train or something?! whatever, so we get there and end up in the one of the quad areas which was pretty empty. took some pics, walked through buildings and found ourselves in their stata center which was cool to see. just a oddly shaped building outta this boring ass smart guy campus. after seeing that, we walk toward harvard. i must say from there it was super far away from harvard. on our way there, there was the MIT museum and that was super cool. hella nerdy ass shit in there like mototrized sculptures of the DNA models and robots.. so yeah, a hella nerdy ass museum. got hungry ate a bar a clock away. i ate a 9dollar chicken sanwich and introduced my australian friend root beer. walked to harvard and found out it was a massive campus with many old and beautiful architecture. there were some great buildings and scultures that showed the prestige and legacy that university has gain over the years. then we took the train back to the hostel. i packed my stuff up and headed to adrian's. was getting dark and took a break in the park before heading into his place. when i got there, set my stuff in his room and kinda just chilled and watched TV. we ate tacos, watched american idol, drank and headed to a bar in cambridge blocks away from MIT called middlesex. it was pretty hip bar playing lots of funky disco beats with breakers bouncing in and out of dance. the was place mad cool but since it was a tuesday night, there were not that many girls. there was a group of girls that came in but weren't all that. so we kinda just let them be instead of diving in the mix with them. as the night progressed, we got more drunk and just took a cab home. even though it was hella late when we got back we just continued to pound beers. we ended up talking about the life as a single man and a non-single man. it was pretty heavy stuff for me to handle but it was good to get insight from guys. these guys were hella cool because they were aware of my situation and generously showing me their perception of it. it was cool and we paid for it the next day. i think all the guys ended up sleeping in til about 11. we then made forbidden pancakes and chilled all day. i planned on trying to hit up mass general hospital but was just not feeling it that morning. 230 rolls around, i shower and head out to logan airport for my flight back home. my flight gets delayed about a half an hour. as soon as the plane arrives i head to my seat and just knock out. head to detroit it think and book it to my transfer gate. that flight i was awake for most of it. i end up pretty much finishing one of my self help books. it was super interesting to read about how my life should be more about me and sharing love. i enjoyed most of it and it brought me home safe and sound. i say that now because a couple days later a plane lands in the hudson... yeah that scared the shit out of me. so yeah home sweet home. im in at like 11ish and just pretty much knock out for work the next day... so yeah, thats the trip. back to the grind. tomorrow is my friday and its a MLK day. picking up some comp time at work tomorrow and i am just not looking forward to it as much because of my double i pulled today. oo so tired now. goodnight world.
