June is Over

Nick is in class 35 hours per week, he's studying 30 hours per week, and he has about 20 hours of free time per week, if you count breakfast and dinner.

Still, we managed to find time for food and fun at Atwood's Tavern with our L-town Crew: Jessica and Travis. Jessica is a 2L at BU Law - she's unstoppable! If you like mandolins, Atwood's Tavern is the place to be on Thursday nights. We like mandolins.

If you like Sushi, hit up Ginza, a fantastic, delicious, and yes, affordable sushi restaurant in Coolidge Corner. After that, feel free to travel down the D line to Matt Murphy's - a pub with live music every weekend. A few of the 1Ls and our posse met up for expensive drinks and good conversation.

If it's shopping you'd like, head over to Newbury Street, the Prudential, or Copley Place. Allison, my neighbor (she lives in the same apartment building one floor above us), and I hit the streets of Boston looking for suits, with fantastic results. She found one at Ann Taylor, and I found this one at Banana Republic - on sale, of course - in black.

Meanwhile, Nick is busy with his dissection, coming home everyday complaining that the smell of embalming fluid has permeated his clothing, and raving about getting to saw through and remove an entire leg. I asked if he would rather be a Pathologist. He said no, but I don't know if I really believe him. ;)

I wish I could be more excited for him, I really do, but I just don't like the sound of crunching bones.

So sue me.

Ew, Nick cuts up dead people. That's crazy. He is now my hero for not vomitting. :) You kids look like you're having a lot of fun and Boston sounds sehr cool. We are already contemplating a visit. :) We miss our Caylors.

What a great suit! That's perfect for a hip law student. So you get to wear great outfits and Nick gets to chop up bodies. Whoever would have guessed grad school would look like this?

So did you love being in Boston for July 4? I was there for part of the holiday week last year and it was pretty amazing. It gave me a very different sense of the holiday, being in a place where events from my 4th grade history book actually took place.

Cheers!

Marissa's suit looks like power and justice harnessed into one garment! :) I'm glad Nick is cutting up dead people and not alive people. You know, that would be strange and I would have to call the authorities....

I hope you two are enjoying Boston. My friend CJ is moving back there soon and well, you two should hang with her. PS--read my blog, I went to IKEA and noticed when looking around some of your furniture there!!! I think you two should be the IKEA couple instead of whoever it is now.
