BOSTON BOSTON!

I know it's a bit late, I've been in Boston for my 3rd and last day now but this is the first chance that I have enough energy to blog.

Anyways I should start from the beginning of this whole exciting trip. 5 days ago... It's SPRING BREAK WEEK!!!

Well Spring Break officially started on Friday of last week, 7th of March, so our plan was to leave Pittsburgh for New York on Saturday by plane, then go from New York to Boston by Bus on Monday and then bus back from Boston to New York again on Thursday, and fly back to pittsburgh from New York on Saturday making a full circle trip. The second leg to New York was due to our friends who we're meeting up with in Boston wants to go to New York so it's good for us to have more time in New York.

Well.... Guess what... the first thing that happens when we first got to the airport on Saturday was.... Our flight got canceled! CANCELED!!! We woke up so EARLY and got to the airport at 9:00 AM for the flight at 10:50 and they made us wait until 13:50 to tell us that the flight has been canceled due to heavy snow and rain in Pittsburgh and New York (zero visibility) so since my friend has already booked a broadway show in New York wants to get to New York any way possible he wants to re-book the flight.

Once we got to the ticketing counter the next available flight is Monday... Which we are supposed to already be leaving for Boston! So this isn't good for my friend who really really wanna watch the broadway show so we tried to ask for the counter lady to help us... but she couldn't get us any earlier tickets to New York and the best she could do was give us a free flight to Boston on Monday. So that was the next best option (Pitt-NY, NY-BOS flights on Monday, meaning no first New York trip until Thursday.)

Since this was the one and only option apart from going to New York by bus, we took this. The baggage system of the airport was terrible so by the time we got our bags back it was already 8:30pm. I was dead tired and I felt a fever coming on...

Sure enough... the next day a fever broke out and I was bed ridden the whole day... terrible for spring break. It's Sunday a day before I'm flying to Boston, and I've got a huge cold... So I slept all day and wish that by the next day the fever would be gone.

Well by Monday, my fever was much better so thankfully I was well enough to travel. Most of the trip was uneventful until I got to Boston.

The one thing I have to say that Boston's quite a nice city. The first day we got to Boston at around 3:30 and met up with 2 of my other friends at around 4:30 or 5pm so there wasn't much we could do after we checked in and everything so we went out to Boston Market and took a look at it at night and had some dinner and came back to sleep.

The next day, Tuesday, we covered Harvard and MIT. The universities were quite ok, not as beautiful or "wow" as I had hoped, but they looked much better than CMU, lol. I was a bit sick but I've been taking medicine everyday so it was alright to walk around. There isn't much to comment but I've got pictures which I will post up after the trip.

That brings us to Today~, Wednesday. We covered the MIT museum and the Boston Market again. The MIT museum was very very interesting. I'm quite amazed by the MIT "Hacking" culture, I wish we had that in CMU or SMU for that matter.

Anyways, tomorrow's the bus ride to New York! It's going to take around 4 to 5 hours to get to New York so we're going to go early, waking up at 7 and get to the bus at 8 and hope to get to New York by 13:00. Annnnnnnd since my internet time is running out (10 cents a minute) I'm going to have to say good bye until next time!
