So working 9 'til 5 is quite different from student life where everyday can be a weekend. I understand now why my parents always go to bed so early. We headed to Cape Cod (aka: The Cape) for our first weekend away. Stepped off the ferry into Privincetown...which is culturally diverse to say the least! There was a gay-pride festival on so it was a pretty interesting experience. Among the crazy bars and drag shows we found a bit of jazz to boogie to and chilled on the beach for the rest of the time. The four of us have a lovely glow of pink now from the sun.
I experienced that Monday morning feeling getting up for work after recovering from the weekend. I feel really settled in work now which is good and I've made some good friends. I'm working in the analytical chemistry group just now which is quite daunting but I'm learning a lot and actually surprising myself about how much I know on the subject! We have a work outing on Thursday, going to a BBQ and playing mini golf and bumper boating which sounds like a lot of fun.
Boston is such a great place. A few nights a week we will go into Harvard Square and watch the street performers or walk down to the Charles river and day-dream of being able to afford a boat. We're starting to get to know the area well and really settling in. The four of us are getting along good so far (the guys are surprisingly good shoppers!) Its my birthday in a few days so I'm sure we'll have some stories to tell later in the week.
Bye for now
Jemma
