One of the great things about being back in college is getting more time off. Summer classes ended on August 18th and we don’t have to go back until Sloan orientation starts on the 31st.
It’s nice to have some time to unwind after the busy summer and Kerin and I have taken the opportunity to do some local touristy stuff. Yesterday we spent some time exploring the bike path that runs through Somerville (the town next to Cambridge). Today we walked the Freedom Trail, a Boston tourist must see. Later this week we plan to visit Newport, Rhode Island. We’ve been there before but it’s a really cool place to visit. I especially like the cliff walk, a three mile trail along the ocean with views of some incredible mansions. Next weekend we’re going up to Sebago Lake in Maine. A benefit of living in New England is being less than a two hour drive from so many interesting places.
Sloan orientation starts a week from Monday and runs for four days. We get a long weekend for Labor Day and start class on Wednesday September 9th. I’m taking seven classes in the Fall so I’ll be busy, but I’ll find time to update the blog.
