A Week-Long Update

So many interesting and fun things have happened these last few days that I cannot even remember them all!

First things first: Check out Drink The Sea -- Glitch Mob's new album coming out May 25th. It's streaming for free on their website, and so far it's diviiiiine.

Many board games were won and lost on Sunday when I went to some of Kate Baxter's coworker's home in Quincy for a night of friendly competition. All of the games we played were new to me, so it turned out to be a really fun learning experience for me beyond the entertainment.We played Tsoro, Pandemic and Agricula, and I thoroughly enjoyed all three (although I'm pissed that we lost Pandemic!).

This past Monday I went to my first Boston Indies event, which is a small gathering of Boston Independent Developers that meet up once a month to watch a presentation and socialize. I met a lot of great people, and I'm definitely going again next month. Going to that event fully solidified my desire to stay in this city after I graduate. I love Boston -- I always have and I always will I think.

Things with my summer class are picking up, and I'm really enjoying it so far. I love most sciences, so it's difficult for me to dislike it. It is a Physical Science class that blends physics and chemistry together and strays from the mathematical approach to understanding these two concepts -- perfect for me :).

I visited a long time friend of mine in Marlborough on Tuesday, and catching up with him was really fun. I had a great time discussing the last 5 years of each others lives that we had missed, and since I'll be working just a stone's throw away from him, I'm sure we'll see a lot of each other this summer. While I was there we decided to check out the old factory where 38 Studios is located, and it is an incredible place. It's immense size aside, the factory has a ton of interesting history (and some beautiful brick work). It used to be a place where civil war uniforms were made and today it houses many different companies, including 38 Studios!

Wednesday was a relaxing day, and I was able to focus on Fit Brains work that I am finally starting to fully pick up, and I made myself some delicious dinner.

Tonight is the Boston Post Mortem meeting, and I am really looking forward to that. All of these things have really helped keep my mind off the break up, which I am finding has affected me more deeply than I could have anticipated. It seems harder for me to love to my fullest extent all that is around me, but I am determined to keep trying. He is no longer in my life, and I think that things are going to be better for me this way.
