i love bike culture. i'm super excited about my new schwalbe marathon tires. the bike shop guy was incredibly nice. and all these things make me happy.
new york. washington dc. new york. vermont. new york. boston. new york. wisconsin. africa
that's a lot of places to go in 3 weeks, huh? especially after not being back for 14 months. the crisp winter air keeps me refreshed though.
it feels nice to be in boston again. it feels more like home than new york. i have lots of new york pride, but new york is depressing to me when i'm there. my parents' home in queens is too far away. i can stay in chinatown with my aunt, but all my stuff isn't there. it's like i can't be settled.
boston is nice because there's not many people on the streets. the buildings are red brick and cute. central square has that alternative feel. the bike shop is a nice walk. mit is down the street. toscanini's is a warm, safe haven. the charles river is right there for a run or walk. boston has a lot of open space to breathe. that is, if you're not studying at mit. boston just seems personable and friendly and community-like.
now that i'm no longer a student at mit, i feel motivated on mit campus. how ironic! all these amazing people here-not just in technology, but also public service. being on campus inspires me to get involved, be ambitious, and make a change.
but it's a bit different now. after 14 months on the road i've grown. i know what i need to do now. and i'm relieved to see that MIT will always be my home.
