So this summer has been going by pretty quickly. I've already been at my internship for over a month and I'm loving it... besides the whole not getting paid for my labor thing.
A lot has happened since my last update! The Bruins won the Stanley Cup so Boston has been a little nuts and I'm right in the middle of it at the State House. I went out to a bar in Fanueil Hall for Game 7 and it was insanity. After the Bruins won, people flooded out of the bars into the streets. My friends and I were in the middle of all the excitement in front of the Garden. People made their own versions of the Stanley Cup with tin foil and stood on top of the North Station train entrance cheering. My friend and I got hoisted up and people on top pulled our arms up so we could stand. It was exhilerating being able to see all the Bruins fans in the streets high fiving and screaming. People started to rock cars so I thought it might be a good idea to get down at that point... We made out way back to the North End, which is where my friends Tanya and Matt live and ended the night with a stop at South Street Diner. It was a great time!
The parade was Saturday and my friends and I had to get to the train station by 9 if we wanted any chance of seeing the parade. We arrived at Park St. T stop an hour before the parade came through. It was a beautiful day but a little hot especially since most people were wearing black shirts. Haha. I couldn't even get a signal on my phone because of the amount of people that were in the city that day so of course I got lost after the parade... Since I've been working in the city, I've been learning my way around so I was able to find my cousin Mike and my friends at Fanuiel Hall. We spent the rest of the day at the Purple Shamrock and I met up with my future roommate, Rachel, and her friends from home. She ended up coming back to Pembroke with me where I had a little get together. It was great to see her.
Last Friday, I went to Dispatch at the Garden. I got a ticket last minute and I've never been to a Dispatch show so I was pysched. They played some songs I knew and even played a little bit of Mrs. Robinson during the last set :) The rest of the night was a little hectic. I stopped by my friend's girlfriend's apartment in Roxbury and hung out with some friends for a few hours. The apartment was huge, I loved it. I can't wait to have my own.
Hoping for good weather this weekend...
