Graduated Learning

What an amazing weekend!

So, my sister, Katie, was in town visiting with me for the beautiful 4 day weekend (it was her spring break).  She's most likely coming to MIT next year, so if any '10s are out there reading this, you'll have to meet her!
I had so much fun hanging out with her.  And she helped me accomplish so much!  My room is clean, my dishes are cleaning, there's food in my fridge, and a paper that I've been procrastinating on for a week is now done.  Yay!
And what did we do this weekend, besides get me on the way to sanity?

Friday:  Watched movies:
Shaun of the Dead:  Basically it's a spoof on horror films, so you just can't help but laugh.  And man, I definitely laughed a lot.  Very funny.
Easter Parade:  A classic.  Fred Astaire and Judy Garland.  My family watches it every year, and since my sister was in town, it only seemed right.  Really cute, a bit cheesey, but I'll always be a fan.

Saturday:  Cleaned my room, did work.
Yeah, I know, lame.
But I also performed with Resonance at the Dance-a-thon (the event was for raising money for the Children's Miracle Network)
But that night we went to Toscanini's for ice cream.  If you've never been, you really should go.  They've got lots of random flavors (along the lines of  J.P. Licks).  I got "chocolate sluggo" which was a combination of all their chocolate flavors, and my sister and friends got flavors such as Mango, Blueberry, M&M, and Mocha.
After that, we watched Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, which I loved (for the second time!) and will most likely confuse you.

Sunday:  Easter!
Church at the MIT Chapel.
Walked all the way to Boston Common, and took pictures of the ducks (and if you've never read the book about them, you should, it's a children's book, but a classic!)
Saw Take the Lead at the Boston Common Lowes (okay, so technically it's an AMC now, but whatever).  It was pretty cute, rather predictable and clichéd, but the dancing was awesome, and Antonio Banderas was in it...so...yeah, it was fun to watch. :)
Walked from the movie theater all the way past Faneuil Hall and Haymarket, and ate at a nice Italian restaurant in the North End. (I don't remember which one)
Back home to chill.

Monday:  Marathon Day!
It was Patriot's Day, Marathon Day, so lots of people were at the Boston Marathon.  I was not one of them.  I was lazy and stayed home.  I think I just enjoyed the weather, did some work, and hung out with my sister.
The best part of that day was when my sister and I headed out to Harvard Square.  We went to Burdick's.  They're chocolatiers.  Let me tell you, I think that was probably the best chocolate I've ever tasted.  I can't even start to describe how amazing the chocolate was.  So rich.  So gooooood.

yeah, needless to say, that was a good idea.

Well, I've put off doing work for long enough tonight.
Leave a comment if you read this, because I'm pretty sure no one reads this anymore.

Anyway, later.
