Getting Settled

We've officially been in Boston for a week now. Well, technically we are living in Brighton but that's close enough. In fact, if you go to Google Maps and type in 104 Strathmore Rd Brighton, MA 02135 it will pull up a street view that (strangely enough) is of 98 Strathmore Rd - our building. I took a few pictures of the neighborhood and our building that you can see below.

We haven't done too much yet since we are still unpacking and getting settled. Dan installed a window A/C unit and I am SO excited about it. Silly me, I thought going to the Northeast would get us away from the oppressive heat of the South. But without any A/C or even overhead fans, our apartment has been stifling hot. We're going to put another unit in our bedroom because we've been told that come July we won't be able to sleep without it.

Dan did start his first day of MA bar review classes though. He is taking them at BU so right now he knows more about the campus than I do. As for me, I'm just trying to get the apartment set up and I'm applying everywhere for a summer job. We have had the opportunity to do a few fun things though. We went to see Indiana Jones 4 and tonight we went out with Wythe and his girlfriend to play trivia again. We came in 2nd place! Yay!

Many of the buildings in our neighborhood have interesting architectural details.


I've noticed a few of these - clearly the building's owners disagree about how it should look.


A church down the street from us. It is actually the Chinese Christian Church of New England.
