Registraion day and a second chance for the city to redeem itself

Today we registered with City Year. Nothing much really. Filled out paper work, I'm sure I may have intialled somewhere I gave part of my soul to some group...hopefully City Year. That was about it. I got lost getting off South Station to go to the post office. Lucky me though, there are some good people in this town. When I was almost hit by a car the guy stopped real quick then stopped to see if I was okay. I didn't really get hit, but I jumped a bit. Another guy walked me to the post office while he was on his lunch break so I wouldn't be lost more. So I was ridiculously happy about all this. I also meet another guy. He is from Mississippi and was trying to get donations for the Democratic National Convention. When I told him I was from Louisiana he basically jumped from his skin. Nice dude as well. Altogether, the city is getting slowly redeemed in kindness.

So why the big deal? Well, I personally believe the South is a very friendly place. Some people may disagree on this, but altogether I think people will try to be as kind as possible to you if they can. I was raised to be polite and to help others when I see them in distress (this includes looking very lost on a corner of a street). It promotes a fellowship between people and allows everyone to feel like they are not completely lost in the world. Just my opinion. I just think we all have to work with each. When you give up on people, you give up on humanity.

Moving in and getting in

So I am in Boston, MA for those of you who do not know. I will be here for about a year for a non-profit organization called City Year. I flew out on Tuesday (August 19th) and picked up the keys for the house. It has been interesting thus far. Four of the seven roommates have moved in and the other three will be here next Tuesday (the 26th). In this time I have become more "acquainted" with the city, figured out Craig's list is not the best to get a bed (which I will not have until the 28th), and also that I miss people. Today saw my parents off to the airport. It was weird I guess. Seeing them go and all. My mom and dad were crying. Stef was more yea you'll be back in a year. I miss Momo and my friends. I like my roommates, they are nice, but sometimes I feel like I am skirting on edges with some topics or other things. Don't get me wrong they are good people, I just am still getting a feel for everyone around. Here.

We've done a lot while we were here. Me and dad mostly did house things while Stef and mom did more touring. We ate ate at a few places. Mike's pastry was the only place wotrth talking about, the rest were over priced and okay. Oh, and Plymouth is nice. I wonder if I can find a bus to it. Well Here are pictures of the house for ya'll. I'll post my room pictures when I get everything moved in.
