Boston/Cambridge/MIT [Original post: August 19, 2008]

Aight guys. Here goes.

Well, I've been here since Sunday, and there's an epic story.

Flight leaves at 6:35. Well, I get there and they tell me there's a quicker flight so I switch over.

I arrive at Charlotte, NC, about 8:50 or 9:00 EDT. I rush over, across the airport, to get on my flight for Logan International Airport.

I arrive in Boston, MA, about noon. No one seems to know ANYTHING about a shuttle to MIT. So, I pay $2 and hop the Silver Line bus over to South Station, where I grab the metro (red line subway) over to Kendall Square/MIT.

Well, there are like no maps anywhere. I spent the following two hours navigating my way through MIT, terribly, to find MacGregor, my dorm building.

I spent the following 30 or so minutes trying to find my room itself. The room is much easier to get to with my MIT ID.

So now here I am. I've been doing stuff with the First-year Academic and Multicultural Enrichment program over the past day or so. It's been pretty cool and all. Some of us walked around Boston for a couple of hours tonight.

So far, things to be going fairly smoothly. I'm still getting a feel for where everything is, though.

However, Thanksgiving Break is going to rock my socks OFF! I'll be home and we are gonna rock Arab.

Have a great year everyone!
