Third Quarter Recap

So, somehow it's been three months since I wrote a blog. Whoops. In my defense, I had a very busy three months. Other than working a crazy amount, I visited my best friend in NYC while she was in the States doing research, my parents visited, my best friend came to Boston, I moved, and the semester started. I've a bit of a backlog of pictures, so I'm going to share them now!

During August, one of my work friends and I had a day off together, so we went to a beach north of Boston. It was great fun that I won't be repeating for a while.

While my parents were here, we caught a Twins game at Fenway. They lost badly (one of two losses during the series, but they won the other two) and the fans were not the world's greatest examples of sportsmanship.

I worked so much over the summer that my latte art is fairly consistent... when I'm doing hearts. This was one of two leafs I was able to make. And I haven't tried again.

While my best friend was in Boston, we went to Mike's Pastry, a hot tourist spot, for cannoli. An excellent choice.

My favorite piece of art from my quick trip to NYC.

Another picture from when my parents were here. We did a brewery tour at Samuel Adams. It was pretty fun, and we got to keep the tasting glasses. Additionally, we were on the first tour of the day. At 9:40 am.

That's all I've got for now. My semester has started and is quickly picking up pace. This semester, in addition to my two classes, I have to get started on my thesis. And I've decided to apply to a few PhD programs in history. So, we'll see.
