a few outings

I name my stop
-5$. Wait...2$?
-2.50
-I haven't done this in a year.
-Well, then welcome back.
-heh, I guess. Actually, I like this route, one and a half hours and you're done for the day. It's not so bad.
-As long as there isn't any throw up
-exactly.

Arsenal mall with Yulka, and we painted our nails all different colors at forever 21. there was even scented nail-polish, but it chipped pretty quickly. and we got each other nearly identical birthday gifts. and then we went to Waltham to watch Midnight in Paris.

Harvard sq with Kathleen. We mostly avoided the heat by going from store to store (filled out two job apps...). Entered two bookstores that were closing-the Curious George one at the corner, and the Global Bookstore across from the Garage.

The next day I went to Portor and found another bookstore that had closed, and met up with Valya at Harvard (starbucks). We walked to MIT to meet up with Kostya and his McGill people (contact, burrito, ect.) Val left and then we went back to Belmont, and met up with Yulka (starbucks again).
We walked from Kostya's house back to Yulka's place, but instead of telling Sisi and Nikita (the McGill people) where to turn we just followed them around. Somehow they got to Yulka's house, but then they kept walking and ended up almost going all the way back to Kostya's before realizing something was up. it was amusing. At Yulkas (ddr...Chinese checkers...) and then they left and I slept over.

We fell asleep around four and got up at 11 and made waffles from scratch for brunch. Watched 10 Things I Hate About You and painted our nails and were girly, but then I went home and in the evening my parents and I went to see The Tree of Life. The theater was packed. I was the youngest person there, and we all had to sit alone because there was no good place for three people to sit next to each other, or even two. Other than the cgi it was a great film...though it made me very tense, and made me want to curl up into a ball before anything really upsetting had even been shown onscreen-it made me tense.

Other than that...I cut Папа's and Yosef's hair, and I'm at that point in A Clockwork Orange when you go "wait...so he's not a 30 year old man in post soviet russia who for some reason knows a weird version of english pretty well...he's a schoolboy who is surrounded by people who speak english fluently, and his parents are useless and...and...what?!"
