Last day home was sad at first but ended on a great note. I wound up watching Running with Scissors after my post last night so I didn’t get to bed until late, and didn’t wake up until like 3pm. After that, I just hung around at home, played a little WoW, and then went out to Epstein’s (a Jewish deli). It was absolutely delicious; I love this place. The sad part was I went to visit my great-grandfather, who at the age of 98 is slowly deteriorating. He has lived a great, healthy life so far, so I don’t feel really bad about it, but at the same time it was a shock to see him so weak. He was tired so I only got to visit him for like 5 minutes. I really hope he survives a while longer, but that’s probably wishful thinking.

After I got back to the house, I was all pumped up to do something fun with my close friends the night before going home. Things weren’t working out, though, and I couldn’t get in contact with people. I was getting pretty pissed, but then things somehow worked themselves out. We went to Coldstone, hung out there for a while chatting, and then went back to Sarah J’s house. We chatted a lot with her mom, and then just hung out in the living room. It was pretty awesome because everyone was just really chill and talking about our experiences in college, and life in general. I really had a pretty sweet time connecting with an old friend. I thought we had drifted apart, but somehow we relate to each other just as much as we did “back in the day.” While I’ll be going back to MIT tomorrow, I hope to keep in touch more than I have in the past.

I’m glad to be going home on a high note. Hopefully some friends will come and visit me in Boston over the summer, but if not, I can always make a few trips home. I went to the Christmas tree shop with my mom, so I’ve got some new stuff for my room at school. As I see it, the fun is just beginning. Even though it feels like it’s been forever, it’s only the third of June.
