Journal Entry #2 Night 2: I feared I had begun a rather strange sleep pattern waking up for the second night in a row at 2:30 am on the dot. Day 2: I woke up, got ready, ate breakfast, and went to my first SAT prep class with Patrick. I could already tell I was going to love him! He was very helpful, witty and kind. We went over tips and ...
Journal: First Entry night 1: Interesting start. I didn't want my mom to leave at all. She's my comfort blanket and I didn't want to let her go!! But once she did I began to settle in, unpack and meet the girls in my suite. Then as I was trying to log in to the wifi my mom called, I thought "already?!?!". Turns out she had given me all of her ...

Hello! Everything is going great! I have made good friends, and we are all very close and share a lot. Even though we're working hard, we have lots of good times. On Saturday, I stayed in, because I got food poisoning... It was terrible! I had to stay at Emerson, and I have to say I was pretty sad about that, because we were visiting MIT. ...
It's hard for me to believe that we're already one full week into session 2! We've been working and playing hard, and taking full advantage of the great activities and schools that Boston has to offer. The weekend, and the half-way mark for the session, really snuck up on us.

We've been touring so many colleges, and thus walking so much that I actually feel that my legs are getting toned. I guess I'm not missing my workout then! On Wednesday, we toured Tufts.
