June 18th

Hello

Yesterday (June 18th), I didn't had class because it was Friday; therefore I slept until noon. Initially I had planned not to go out in the whole day so I could do my readings. I had cereal in my room, and a thai-vegan rice I bought on Thursday; so I could eat that as breakfast and lunch. When I got up, Esther (my proctor) had send me an e-mail about all the activities that are taking place this weekend. All of them seemed very interesting, but I knew I couldn't go to every one of them. After thinking about what I had to do this weekend, I decided that I could go out to a 'roller skating dance party' at Boston, celebrating the 80's. It started at 6:00 p.m, so I had some time before going.
After taking a shower and getting ready, I remembered that there was a workshop about Stress Management, so I went there. It was very interesting and fun. It made me realise that stressing all the time (as I do) is not only unhealthy but also unproductive. Maybe later on I could write an entry about what I learned at the workshop because it is important to really know what happens when you stress, and what are the consequences of stressing.
After that, I went back to my room and had my thai-vegan rice for lunch. It had 'vegan chicken', and I didn't really expected a lot from it but it tasted really good. I was positively surprised.
When I finished eating, I decided to go to Boston for the 80's 'party', and Paige and Michael decided that they wanted to come as well.
When we got there, we noticed that the line for renting skates was extremely long, so I decided not to rent any. Paige and I danced for a while. We stayed in there for a while, and then decided to walk around. We found an amazing juice bar; I've never seen one before so I was very amused. Even though the juices were pretty expensive, I bought several so that I could keep them in the fridge and take them with me to classes. I also bought a vegan/organic vanilla pudding (or something like that). I can't believe how amazing that place was, and all the healthy things they sell; I wish there was something like that in Medellin...
We continued walking around, and we found a very nice park in honour of cancer sufferers. We stayed in there for a while appreciating the beautiful view. Then we went to the North End, and sat down in the grass and listened to a group of music that was playing around. It was very nice and relaxing.
Finally, we decided to head back to Harvard, so we took the T and came back. Every friday night, Harvard presents 2 movies (every week has a special theme); I do not remember what this week's theme is; but the movies they are showing are The Help and Dallas Buyers Club. I was planning on watching the one that stars at 9:15 p.m, but we decided to check out the karaoke night before (Harvard hosts Karaoke nights every friday). When we got there, it was practically empty, so we were able to sing as much as we wanted. After a while more people started arriving but we were having a nice time so we stayed there and didn't watch the movie.
They show the same movies on Saturday's night so I think I'l go watch them today (Saturday).
That was about my day... It was a fun day (not very productive thought).
