Everything is going smoothly around here after what was a completely insane week. Last Thursday, we had team presentations in Accounting, followed by team Marketing presentations on Monday, and an Accounting midterm on Thursday. Lemme tell you, I slept well on Thursday night. We had a school Halloween party last night and I dressed up as a bee, which was pretty fitting given how busy I’ve been lately!
I’m starting to feel more at home here in Boston, but there are definitely things that I really miss about California. In no particular order, here’s a continuation of the list I started a while back:
- -Semifreddi’s cinnamon twist challah, mainly because I’m totally craving Jaclyn’s amazing night-before french toast and would love to make it some time soon if I can find a suitable substitute
- -All the fantastic restaurants in San Francisco. I’m sure there are tons of good restaurants here (and I’ve managed to find some of them), but I miss knowing where to go for great food and having it always available.
- -Cal football live and in person. I recently discovered ESPN360 which lets you watch the games live on the web, but it’s not the same as singing fight songs with your friends in Memorial Stadium.
- -Babies. Seriously, I think EVERYONE is pregnant back home right now and I miss being able to see all the round tummies and new babies. I promise to find a pattern for booties before Christmas break.
- -Halloween with my old housemates. Sure, my bee costume was cute, but nothing beats a team costume and a party in your own house.
- -Sunsets…not only am I always stuck in the library or somewhere when the sun is going down, but on the rare occasions when I’m not in school, I can’t see the sun behind all the buildings. Bay sunsets, how I miss you!
