It's beautiful outside, but not as warm as I'd like. Nonetheless, it's beginning to feel like springtime in Boston, which is fantastic. Soon the Sox will start playing home games, and then it's downhill from there in terms of falling in love with the city. All of a sudden there are thousands of people on the streets, traffic everywhere and it seems like somewhere taken over by aliens. I don't entirely mind, because there's life in the city again. After a winter of freezing temperatures and extra snow, it's great to see everyone out and about.
This is also a good time for anyone considering school in Boston to think about it seriously. This is the beginning of the summer and fun times; if you can make it through the winters to enjoy the spring, summer and fall, you'll make it through school in Boston. If you haven't been here through it or you think you won't make it, be here during July. School will seem easier and life will have a different meaning; Boston is amazing from here on out. (Okay, maybe there's snow in April/May, but that's few and far between. And maybe it doesn't REALLY get warm until maybe August, if that, but it's' warm enough, the sports are amazing, and there's just something you can't put into words about Boston in the spring/summer.
Back to the school thing. I know it's a difficult decision for a lot of people to go to graduate school. Depending on what you want to do, it's either a given or something that happens only under the most opportune circumstances. Regardless, in terms of higher education, Boston has some of the best schools and programs of anywhere in the nation. I'd recommend looking into any school here; I don't really think you can go wrong if you do your research. And the best part is that you'll be in company with the Red Sox, the Patriots, a bunch of lobsters and whole lotta students of all ages who are looking to edjimacate themselves.
