Once in a while, I feel a bit like Reyna Grande, who grew up in a broken family and became the first person in her family to graduate from college. During these periods, I feel like I should get to know Stuart, Martha & Matt’s siblings as well as all their spouses, children and grandchildren;Continue reading “Broken Family”

Year In Review
We have been home for about two weeks after a week in Back Bay. I have noticed that the culture shock moving from Chicago to Boston is very different than Chicago to London and here are my impressions. First of all, London is in a different country and uses very different units than I amContinue reading “Year In Review”
The Jubilee
We watched part of the Jubilee today and it made me think of all my friends in London, where it takes place (Afiq, Nate, Koni, Lucas, Darrien, Kuba, Misha, Libbi, Dasha, Abby, Emma, Ava, Ruby, Nora, Kenzy, Mariam, Dania, Nina, Camille, Julie, Ashleigh, Antonita, Andy, Mollie, Wasan, Sam, Cyril, Max, Elisey, Alena, Duaa, Genevieve, Lonan,Continue reading “The Jubilee”
Memorial Day Weekend
On Monday, I went to the Memorial Day Parade, but it was so much smaller than 2019. There were only various bands, veterans and a few people at the end that gave candy. Later in the day, while everyone was resting, I streamed into Kerrigan (Memory’s daughter/Dennis & Joan’s granddaughter’s) graduation and I thought ofContinue reading “Memorial Day Weekend”
First Week Home, Graduations
On my first official day home, I watched the UNC graduation in honor of Mason and the Wittmen family (Drew, Vanessa, Parker, Mason & Riley) plus Zoe, Mattie, Scott, Meredith and Karen. We also wanted to acknowledge the Threshold and Lesley graduation which recognized the Classes of 2020, 2021 and 2022. I am going toContinue reading “First Week Home, Graduations”
Fenway Park Tour, Cape Cod, Red Sox Game
On Sunday, we toured Fenway Park, which was a nice outdoor activity to do. My favorite part of the tour was the area that only the media press conference is allowed to sit in and you cannot sit here for money. I also enjoyed learning about how many World Series champion titles from the RedContinue reading “Fenway Park Tour, Cape Cod, Red Sox Game”
TD Garden
After watching Bruins and Celtics Games, I got to tour TD Garden with my friend Chloe and we had a very fun time. I got to learn so much that happens behind the scenes. For example, I would have never imagined that a Bruins game would only cost $1.50 in 1928, but an ice creamContinue reading “TD Garden”
Harvard Tour, Museum of Fine Arts
On Thursday, it was such a beautiful day and I did a self-guided tour of Harvard Square. The tour was in Harvard Yard and I loved it, so much that I learned a lot. I had an app of the tour downloaded I would just listen to my phone. I learned about various famous peopleContinue reading “Harvard Tour, Museum of Fine Arts”
Harvard Museum, Banksy, ICA, Quadfest/Semiformal
Another busy week and here are some highlights for me. On Wednesday, after being so close, I finally got to check out the Harvard Museum of Natural History. It is a small museum and I enjoyed the dinosaurs, the mammals and the space exhibit. Unlike London where there is too much to see in oneContinue reading “Harvard Museum, Banksy, ICA, Quadfest/Semiformal”
Red Sox Game, Final Project
Today I watched part of the Red Sox game and enjoyed it a lot. I only watched a little bit of it, but it was the last game of Spring Training. They mentioned how well the Red Sox did last season and that the Twins — who they were playing against — did not doContinue reading “Red Sox Game, Final Project”
