The summer semester I dreaded has now come to an end. I remember when we first found out that after our 2nd year, we would have to remain in boston for an additional 6 week semester... I was less than ecstatic to say the least. And I didn't know how I could endure such a long separation from my home.

But it was probably the quintessential summer. Our schedule was actually not that jam-packed which left us with lots of time to experience the ridiculously humid summer in boston. No doubt I'll miss the afternoon sangrias on newbury street, I loved how virtually every restaurant on that street had a great patio.
I think the thing I'll miss most is lazy summer nights spent on the docks overlooking the charles river. There's nothing better than a few cold beers with good friends.

I have to say that leaving boston sunday morning, was the first time part of me was sad to leave. I know I'll have an awesome rest of the summer here at home but it'll be a slightly different kind of fun. So far, I've substituted my lovely deck for the docks by charles river... I must admit my backyard is not quite as beautiful as the charles but the beers are still delicious.


And I miss you
I’m goin back home to the west coast
I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase
I love you
Standin all alone in a black coat
I miss you
I'm goin back home to the west coast
