Let's start with the crappy things about Boston:



1. Bostonians "celebrating" the World Series Win via vandalizing our car... Apparently some Bostonians think that cars only need one side view mirror. NOT COOL!



2. Not having any friends... I'm meeting people at City Life but I just haven't met anybody yet that I click with. I work with some really great people, but all of them have families/signifcant others and not a whole lot of hangout time.



3. Our car getting towed for a 2nd time. 'nough said.



Good things about Boston:



1. Using the subway to get around everywhere. It's great, I don't get stressed out commuting in a car in a car every morning and I can sleep on the way!



2. It's cold here now! I lovvvee the cold. And this weekend I made a serious investment in a Marmot Gore-tex jacket. I know all about Gore-tex and layering now. I went to this really nice outdoor/wildnerness store and I got the saleslady to give me a tutoring lesson on what gore-tex is and how you dress with it. I really had no idea how to dress for cold weather before moving up here.



3. My job. I love my job. Even though I'm working 50-60 hours a week currently because I'm super-slow at the paperwork, I know that part will definitely get better.



4. Uburger. I go there once a week for my share of a delicous hamburger, fantastic fries, and it doesn't hurt that the 2 Greek owners are pretty cute.

5. City LIfe Church. Great Worship, Great Teaching, I'm so glad God directed me there.

6. Our apartment. I'm still so thankful to God for directing us to this fantastic apartment. I love it!

That's all for now. Much love from the far Northeastern Country -- Em

Heh, I should introduce you to some HSPH people, I think at least one of them is an Aggie. And she's Christian.

Bostonians are also notoriously type A and overachievers, which means they're overly busy... relationships (in general, not specifically just dating) get the short-end of the stick. Career and education are that much more important.

Remember, use the Six Degrees of Separation to your advantage! (Stanley Milgram's old experiment) In this case, find those social hubs and hang off of them until they can find you friends :>
