So I actually bought a map of the City of Boston that was large enough for me to mark things on in red marker. So far, I have “school,” “home,” and “work” written in. More will surely follow . . . but that’s a good start.

Work turns out to be sandwiched between the Christian Science Center (left) and the Boston Public Library (below), a direct ride of the T (subway/train system) from both my dorm and the Simmons campus. I really couldn’t ask for a more convenient location.

Yesterday, my manager at Barnes & Noble told me she had spoken with the manager of Barnes & Noble’s store in the Prudential Center, downtown Boston, and they would be happy to accept me as a transfer employee when I arrive in the fall. It is a huge relief to have a part-time job already arranged before I leave town.
