So, I'm sorry but I haven't been able to write another entry for the past couple of days.
Well, here goes. On friday, I went home, and used that as an oppertunity to post my quote collection online. Right now I just have them chronologically by the time I added them, but soon I hope to have them in alphabetical as well. Anyway, Saturday I spent with my family, and I watched "Finding Forrestor" at home, for english class.
Sunday, upon sleeping in, I did stuff. In the evening, I went to youth group, and saw a really cool comercial for Northeastern University staring my youth group leader. But anyway, that night I had to do most of my economics homework, which was boring. Monday, I got back to school, and in the evening I had to write a paper for english class.
So, today is the first day in a while that I have time enough to update my journal, so that is why I am posting. But here are two thoughts.
First, I hate my room. I hate the temperature things in my room. It is too hot, I feel like I'm going to suffocate, because we can't really figure out how to turn off the radiator. So, we open a window, which makes it too cold. Basically, one side of the room is completely frigid, while the other is like an oven. We have no circulation in this room at all.
And, in the morning, every day, about 9:00, I garbage truck drives into the alley behind us. It is sooooo loud. Its like "beep beep beep beep, pffffff, RRRRRRRRRRR clack-clack-clack-clack-clack-clack. beep beep beep ...." It goes on for what seems to be a long time, like 5 minutes or something. But anyway, this has been a rant.
The other thought, on a more serious matter, is that today there was a drive by shooting at Northeastern. I really don't know anything at all about it, only that after I came out of a class, there were about 20 police cars parked on the corner of Forsyth and Huntington, and there was a camera crew and police tape and stuff. But I later heard that it was a drive by shooting.
I don't know if anybody was hurt or any of the motivations behind it or anything. However, it's still a scary thought, because I always pictured busy streets in daylight to be perfectly safe. I figured that just as long as I didn't go into any alleys or weird places in the city, that I would be safe enough. But now we have a completely brazen attack in what I thought was one of the safest places in the city.
I mean, we have campus security all over. But, I don't want any of you to worry though. I'm still going to be going about my daily business, and until I actually get shot, I won't let anybody scare me away from doing things that I want to do. So, I'll still take my long walks along busy Boston streets, which I still think are safe.
