Julie's Convocation, and the big adventure...

  • Mood:

So today was convocation.  For anyone that doesn't know what that is, it is basically when they dress up the freshmen and the seniors in gowns (yes, as in graduation gowns) and make us process into the auditorium, some people talk to us and then we process out again.  It didn't take more than 45 minutes and I got to sleep later then if it had been a regular Wednesday (b/c I have a 9:20 English class and Covocation wasn't until 10:30), but I think that I would have preferred to go to English class anyway.  Anyone else have a convocation at their college?  I was just wondering b/c I had never heard of it until now.  They said that it will mean more to us as seniors, but today it just didn't seem like any thing to write home about.  And yet I am in a way, hmmm...

Well now on to the big adventure!  My friend Erin had to go down to City Hall to get a copy of her birth certicicate and asked me to fo with her.  Of course I did b/c I have stayed pretty much on campus for the last couple of days and I wanted to get out.  After my Math class, we got on the "T" and went to Gov't Center.   We went to City Hall and found out that the Births, Deaths and Marriges is closed on Wednesdays.  It is open everyother weekday, but it is closed on Wednesdays, if this makes sense to anyone please explain it to me b/c it seems rather silly to me.  But we got to go through Security, so that was fun.  Erin was supposed to see her Aunt while she was down town so we went to meet her.  But she never showed up so we went to lunch.  We wanted McDonald's so we just started walking towards Down Town Crossing figuring that we would find a McDonalds along the way,  and guess what, we did!  But Wendy's was right next door and decided that we wanted Wendy's instead.  Let me tell you, it was really good.  I have not eaten in the Caf for every meal but when you haven't eaten fast food in awhile, it tastes really good.  So anyway we window shopped a Down Town Crossing for awhile and then headed up towards Boston Common.  Then the was the Great Wait for a Green "D" line train.  We waited for a good 20 minutes for the train to come and when it did it was already packed.  I have been on a full "T" car before but this was rediculous.  I wasn't close enough to hold on to any bar or railing but it turns out that it was okay b/c I couldn't move anyway.  Erin eventually got a seat and I could stand next to her and I felt at least a little more comfortable.

So that was today.  I hope that you enjoyed living vicariously through me.  Be sure to check back soon as I continue to amaze and suprise you!

Nice to know that McDonald's is still a Big Adventure for you. I remember when you were verrrry young and it was a very special treat!
Funny I was thinking the other day how neat it would have been if my college had a convocation when I went to university. But you know I am kind of funny that way. I like to be sent out with a mission or purpose when there are new beginnings. The mid-seventies were a time of minimalism and the generation gap, etc., etc... I am sure that a convocation would have smacked too much of "the establishment" at USM during that era.
Lots of love,
Dad

Hi Julie :D
I read your journal religiously XD. Keep it up...I like to know what my friends are doing in college. If I was more faithful in writing, I might have one, but my current journal has very few, random entries. So, anyway...HI!

Hey Jules,
Sounds like your having fun, settling in and having some adventures. That's great! I'm glad your finding your way around Beantown as their are so many things to do. Keep an ear out for free concerts, comedy, etc. :) I definately understand the fast food withdrawal, Kyle had to go 3 months without it when he first started school last year! That was a record for him! Keep having fun. I'll call you in a week or so and maybe we can come in to Boston and take you to dinner. By then you'll probably be ready to eat off campus! Take care, and be safe!

Love,Beth:)
