Boston was fantastic! It was nice to spend three days there, away from the familiarity that is Pittsburgh and see new places for once. Great company too and the food was just yummy yummy yummy. Haha. We walked along Freedom Trail, visited Harvard (and its business school haha) and MIT, Prudential Tower and also Filene's Basement for a little bit of shopping. Had dim sum on Friday for lunch and seafood for dinners. The highlight was lobster on Saturday night at Legal Seafood, along with a bunch of mussels and shellfish, with each of us spending 50 bucks for the dinner itself! Sunday lunch at Penang was nice too. And Dunkin Donuts is just everywhere in Boston.
Spring break has been pretty all right. Have just been basically slacking around, trying to get myself to do things but not really succeeding, and playing tennis for the past few days. Weather has been incredibly warm for the past two days and I'm just glad for the warm weather. Dealing with internship stuff is really a pain and I need to decide soon whether to finish in 3 or 4 years. I keep on changing my mind. Maybe I should have a talk with my advisor.
Sigh. Think I should start on my work soon. But I still need more time for myself, to sort my thoughts out and think through things that have been going on, and to just sit down and finish reading the books that I've been wanting to read for a while.
Steadfastness, that is holding on;
Patience, that is holding back;
Expectancy, that is holding the face up;
Obedience, that is holding one's self in readiness to go or do;
Listening, that is holding quiet and still so as to hear
