i was accused of being a tourist...in my own town.

ocean? river? harbor? ehhhh i've only been here a week.

We lost. Spurrier is a girl. Let's not talk about it. But other than that....incredibly wonderful spectacular day!!

As I hinted at yesterday, my friend Haley is here to see me! HOORAY!! We went to UGA together but she is at the Culinary Institute in NY studying to become the world's best baking/pastry chef! Creme brulee?! Fancy soft bread?! Cookie, cake, apple pie?! Yes, please!! She's a smarty pants (and her homework tastes awesome) so I keep her around.

We awoke this morning to get all decked out in our finest UGA apparel and head to Champions Bar to watch the game on a 14-foot screen!! While what showed on the screen was not spectacularly fabulous, we did sit with a fellow UGA-fanatic who did his post-grad work in Athens and was now on his way to becoming George Clooney from "Up in the Air" (he seriously showed us like five airline mile cards...it was kinda awkward trying to feign being impressed).

swan boats in the common!

right in my school's backyard!

study break awesomeness :)

After a little Starbucks stimulation, we explored the Boston Common, the Public Gardens (saw four different weddings!), Faneuil Hall, the Charles River (or maybe it was the ocean?! Still a little unsure on that one...), met up with some school friends at a restaurant called the Beehive in the South End (aka Southie), trekked back to our neck of the woods and grabbed some pizza for dinner. Whew!!

Funniest parts of the day: Haley, with map in hand, was the one bossing me around telling me how to get where!! Turns out, when I say, "It's real close!" it isn't always...

say cheese,
