I fully acknowledge that what I'm about to post has little to no relation to my Europe trip. But it has been quite the busy, eventful week. Certain aspects of it merit a posting.
Most of my energy the last two weeks went into the Emerson's Next Top Model competition and subsequent fashion show. The fashion society on campus did a really nice job organizing the whole thing and even though I didn't win (top two, though... but I was robbed) it was a good use of time. The pictures are from the various "Fashion Week 2008" events. School-wise, I'm one final down and three to go. My mom and grandma were here this weekend, and we secured an apartment for next year that I'm terribly excited for. It's a cute studio in Beacon Hill--one of the oldest neighborhoods in the country, by the way--and I'll try to get some pictures of that up sometime next week.
Mom, Grandma, and I had a funny encounter at breakfast in their hotel this morning. We were sitting next to this older couple who struck up a conversation. They were British and spoke of how welcoming they had found the majority of Americans on their vacation. It's odd... whenever I meet international students or tourists (they're common enough in Boston), I kind of brace myself when they start talking about the country. Obviously, certain political leaders of the present are embarrassing enough, but when foreigners find the locals to be rude or stupid, I find the sensation is much like having a guest in your home who is appalled by your house keeping. Anyways, the couple was lovely and curious about college here. We spent a good 45 minutes talking with them. They are just 2 of the dozens of "friends" Grandma and Mom made in their 4 day visit :)
