things are better at the moment....i had an interesting day visiting the conservatory in boston....meandering downtown amidst the brownstone architecture and the hodge podge of different eras...quite picturesque. I could easily adapt to living there, if i get the opportunity. but i was having "hick like" feelings. aw well, but i feel like i could navigate the subway system without too much trouble. Not bad for a girl who lives near a town with no stoplights.

i'm getting along better with my cousins, it seems. for some reason when I was practicing my singing and monologues i seemed to gain a kind of respect or interest. good, of course....or maybe i was getting the wrong vibes yesterday and that minute dislike never existed....i don't know.

but I've been here since 4 and for some reason i've gone stir crazy....its not even 10 and i feel like i could be awake for hours. mom and i have things to do, so atleast i'm not sitting around the entire day. my thoughts keep drifting to if i were home....i would have been at the speech meet with A.....but i'll hopefully have monday....

re-reading old posts last night and these have progressively gotten sappier since A entered my life....good or bad, i'm not sure.....but my analytical nature has all but disappeared, something i regret. yeah, i'm happy....but this isn't interesting....i'm not sure what to make of it. idea: those awful forward survey things...
