the weather is not that bad...
i repeat, the weather is not that bad...aww, who am i kidding? ;-)
my day today was actually quite busy. i ate breakfast in ashdown (sans Michael, since he had to go off to NYC super-early). since i had all my luggage there i could have showered and gone straight to work & class (that's so great about Ashdown), but i soon realized had to go back to SP (to get my office keys!) plus, there was this new winter shuttle to/from SP, so i figured it would be ok. unfortunately i ended up missing the 8:30am shuttle (just by a hair, the driver didn't even stop since he didn't see anyone at the stop). so i ended up walking the whole way (killed my back so much i forgot about the cold). however i was able to make it to 39 around 9:45, thanks to the new shuttle (7-minute service from SP to 39!)
so at 10am i had my first day of Russian class (actually it started on Monday the 5th, but since i got back last night i missed the first two classes). anyway, it was really great..the instructor is really nice, and totally helpful. we went through this chart of Russian sounds and asked things like "how are you" and "what's your name" etc. it's so great! and the instructor also took about 1/2 hour after class for me and a few others who missed the first few classes. so, so far it's coolio!
oh, and soon after we had group lunch at Sidney's Grille. I ordered the jumbo scallops again, since they are so great.
and i was lucky enough to get a doctor's appt at MIT medical this afternoon. the doc said i should continue to use anti-inflammatories, but i should up it to 600 mg at every meal. i think started doing that last night. ack. well hopefully it will go away soon. although it hurt a lot going to SP, during class and at the restaurant and later on i didn't hurt that much. if i sit for a period of time, it seems to help it a lot..isn't that the best excuse for being lazy? ;-)
