Well, I am not really where I am going to end up, but at least I made it to Cambridge. The funny thing about these blogs is that you really wonder if people want to know all the details of a day. I think not, so I will hit the highlights~
Our flight to Boston was delayed by an hour tonight because of weather in Boston. There was a four hundred foot ceiling on the clouds. It was a rough flight and a rougher landing, but all ended well.
My cab driver was from, of all places . . . Kenya! My first friend in Boston! He still has children in Nairobi and he grew up in NE Kenya. (I told you people don't want all the details.)
Tonight, I finally ate dinner at 10:15. I had the first, of what I think it will be many, bowl of seafood chowder. I am spending the night in rather nice accommodations tonight, before I move to what I have been told are much more sparse conditions tomorrow at HBS.
The temp is 41 degrees and it is raining. I could see, even in the darkness tonight, that the trees are bare and there are no blooms. Maybe God has blessed me with two springs this year. I was able to see cherry blossoms and dogwoods bloom before I left Atlanta and I will likely get to see something bloom here in Boston -- whatever that may be. The lights were on in many dorm rooms and apartments with people studying - I began to immediately start feeling smarter in their presence. The street lights and building lights cast a beautiful reflection on the Charles River.
The highlight of my weekend was to have all my boys with me (Ashley, Trenton, Trevor, Trey and the dogs - Copper and Smokey) and my parents to celebrate Trevor's birthday a little early and give me a send-off. The other highlight was to arrive in Cambridge and open a special package from Trey - words and gifts for my journey.
Tomorrow is the big day . . . I will keep you posted~
And mom, you were right, my nails are already splitting~
Peace, love, joy and blessings to you all,
Dee Ann
