Your point of view solidifies my thought that one does not need college to explore the world, learn to cope with life on your own (outside the parents' home), and be VERY articulate about it all. Enjoy Boston and your journey!Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923831622282650183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100621885036051985.post-55022137021076509682010-08-14T11:14:15.931-07:002010-08-14T11:14:15.931-07:00Sounds like a good deal to me, too!

And it's so cool you're moving to Boston for a while! :D That does sound like a seriously cool neighborhood. <br /><br />Also, I lolled at Michael's description of Winter. Sounds pretty accurate to me!<br /><br />Oh, and @Bonnie and Michael: I'm sooo looking forward to seeing you guys at NEUC!! :-DIdzie Desmaraishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12782266545123946006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5100621885036051985.post-13857463090573594602010-08-14T08:53:20.345-07:002010-08-14T08:53:20.345-07:00Yay, you're coming to Boston!!
Also? This po...Yay, you're coming to Boston!!<br /><br />Also? This post is awesome.<br /><br />Also also, FYI: sleet is slightly wetter and sloppier. Freezing rain is slightly icier and sharper and more likely to not only land on you and be frozen on your skin and therefore hurt, but <i>stab you</i> with its icy sharpness when it lands on you. Freezing rain, once on the ground, turns into water or ice. Sleet may turn into water, ice, or that lovely commodity we always have such a surplus of in winter: slush. Melting snow also turns to slush, especially when a lot of cars drive over or near it. Imagine walking through half-melted Sno Cone everywhere you go. Invest in a good pair of boots.<br /><br />And remember that as this is not Florida, unless there is a bare minimum of a foot of snow on the ground, no one will be holed up at home afraid to go anywhere. ;) We are a hardy people. If three feet of snow fall in the middle of the night, schools will be closed for perhaps two days (shops and banks and everything else will be open as usual), people will grumble as they dig out over the course of an afternoon, and life will quickly resume as normal. (Schools close for snow only when the road conditions are such that the buses can't get through, which never lasts very long because we are very good at digging out.)<br /><br />Also, if you are here in the winter, you will bear witness to the joys of Boston residents trying to acquire and keep 'their' parking spot when there is snow. If you are not among those fighting for a place to put your car, this can be very, very funny. :)Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933778203663314414noreply@blogger.com
