BOSTON!

So today is the first day of break, which would usually be awesome. On Friday, we all discussed our [presumably] exciting plans for the vacation, and yet, I found myself gaping in awe at all the people going to California, Italy, Switzerland, etc. Today, Saturday, my family traveled to Boston to go see certain colleges for my sister, who is a Junior and who thus needs to start thinking about these things. I'm usually excited about this sort of thing, as touring colleges is a fun thing to do. This trip, however, was not so.

First came the 4 hour drive to Stonehill College. I brought my walkman and the new My Chemical Romance album, and the soundtrack from Get Him To The Greek. And didn't touch them once.
My sister talks abnormally loud, which is why she is such a successful cheerleader (I guess...), but when we are two feet a way, and I'm a very claustrophobic and jumpy person, this was quite a bother.
I also tried to draw a bit, but the roads were WAY too bumpy.

After that joyous journey, we arrived at the school, and to my sister's surprise- it was a Catholic school.

I found it hysterical that she had no idea Stonehill was a Catholic college, so her expression when she saw the various crosses and whatnot around the campus was priceless. She then proceeds to say, "Wait a minute! Can I still attend this school if we aren't Catholic?"

1. Ofcourse you can. That's a stupid question.
2. ... We are Catholic...

But the campus itself was quite nice, it's a very small school, but the community is very easily accessible, and convenient.

On our way to the next campus, of Endicott College, we passed through SALEM!! This was particularly cool for me, because I'm secretly a witch and passed through without getting burned at the stake. (No just kidding... But they didn't detect that I'm a Power-Ranger, so that was pretty good).
As we progressed through the area, into a place called Beverly (I think...) The stores started having really clever names (which I can't recall, but they were pretty funny). Soon enough, however, they stopped having names at all. They were just named after what was in them (For example, "Bowling", "Books", "Candles", "Animal Supplies", etc.). This was just as amusing.

So then we go to the hotel, then to dinner, then back to the hotel to watch Due Date and 127 Hours (which I've already seen, but whatever... it was still really good). And tomorrow, we will embark on another near 7 hour journey in the car through Boston and back home. Wish me luck.
