First couple of days

---

It's april fourth and i've been in boston for 5 days now and having so much fun! The flights were about as much fun as you'd expect them to be but between my 17 hour wait in fiji (5 hours of which were spent fast asleep by the pool of the hotel across the road from the hotel that i snuck into), the crazy fijian lady i sat next to for 10 hours on the flight to LA (i swear, the woman must have a bladder the size of a pea she went to the toilet so many times by the end of it she had me trained-she's grunt, i'd move) and then the guy dressed in a red sox baseball outfit who smelt like he hadn't had a shower since before winter (but i sprayed him with my perfume while he was sleeping-i feel the people around me appreciated it too) by the time i got to boston i was so tired and over planes i was ready to sleep anywhere (as long as it wasn't an airline seat)...only to be informed by mate i was staying with that he and his housemates hadn't paid the electricity bill and there was no lights, hot water or heat.
It's back on now though and the guys i'm staying with are pretty cool and little bit crazy. They bicker so much, it's like they're all married. And they drink so much.
I've been to a couple of college parties now and drunk fromm red cups. So far all the people i've met have been pretty cool.
The actual city part of boston is amazing! it's so gorgeous and so many beautiful buildings and it was so awesome i walked out of the train station and then right there they were filming a pilot for CBS called the way, but i'll have probably graduated from uni and bought a house by the time it reaches australia.
Crazy american things that i've experienced?college parties the theme was "anything but clothes" , counting in a 10 minute drive 19 fast food stores (every single one a different franchise) and going to a cinema and having to walk through about 5 funiture stores to get there. I think perhaps the idea was for parents to leave their children there while they buy a couch etc. Everything else is pretty standard though and i really like it here.
This week i'm training with the girls rugby team at babson college, i'm playing a game on saturday. it's going to be interesting.
