I was going to finish that last post on the bus, but I didn't have time.
Now I have time. (I AM AT COLLEGE NOW PEOPLE) So prepare yourselves. This won't be too detailed, hopefully.
After I got back from Six Flags, I...
- played D&D with John and (supposedly) Maggie, but I ended up being her character for most of the game.
- saved copies of our character sheets on my laptop so we could play D&D when I come back for Christmas break.
- Had a readthrough of our Star Trek musical (which I finally finished) with all the kids. It features 6 episodes from the original series (two from each season) and all the movies (with the exception of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, in which nothing happens for two hours while awesome music plays. They later used the theme from that movie for the Next Generation credits.)
- Set off with mom, Maggie, and Stephen for Boston, bidding fond farewells to the remaining members of the family.
- With Maggie, made up a song about "The Bridge Crew Who Don't Do Anything", which features characters from TNG. (Sorry TNG. *pats Picard on his shiny bald head and is told to get off the bridge*)
- Decorated some stickers on the bus. I wanted to put a picture of them, but I forgot to take one and don't feel like doing it now. Suffice it to say they leaned towards the nerdy side.
- Saw a truck which said "Rand-Whitney" on it. Why is this something you should care about? Because Yeoman Rand, a character in several early episodes of Star Trek, was played by a woman named Grace Lee Whitney. After a quick Internet search, I can report that the company Rand-Whitney was founded before Star Trek came out, so this is merely an amazing coincidence.
- Stayed with my mom's friend for the night. Maggie and I shared a room and tried our best to gossip about boyfriends.
- (Today) Went to the Boston Children's Museum, where I acted like a little kid for a couple of hours. It was extremely fun.
- Was given a smooth rock by Maggie and named it William Gladstone.
- Checked into my dorm at MIT, where I am at the moment. I have a room all to myself! My Star Wars poster is hanging proudly on the wall as I write.
