Settling Down

I got to MA this morning :) Thank you for your prayers... my Amtrak rides were ridiculously smooth. Some super nice + cool people helped me lug my 60000 luggage to the station AND redistribute some of my stuff into an extra box because some were overweight! Erica even rode the train up with me to Baltimore! Our first train from Cville --> DC was delayed for 3 hours, but several nice friends kept us company and brought us FOOD >_< After Erica got off the train in Baltimore, my momma began calling me every several hours to make sure I'm not to lonely.

I'm ridiculously spoiled by my family + the people around me... I just hope I'll be able to bless others in similar ways! These experiences with super nice people really makes me think of 1 Jn 4:12.


Anyway... today, I was able to tour B-town a bit...




















Is it weird that the first place I visited was the Boston Public Library?

























Stairway of Library

























Study Area!

























Courtyard of the Library




















A nice day to chill outside!




















Library Coffee Shop

























This random picture of a skyscraper is dedicated to Ms. Jaeeun Cho :)


I walked around the Copley area for a bit and bought some new underwear (so that I won't have to do laundry as frequently)!



When I got back to my cousin's place, I grew kinda excited about school!























Pretty textbooks for summer session!



















Then I found my way to a nearby Asian grocery store and stocked up on some essentials (noodles, kimchee, etc.)

NOTE to prospective visitors: they have a small food court selling bubble tea, "Yo! Berry," Korean Cruisine, and more!



















Despite being excited about school and getting to know Boston, I'm intensely home (C'ville) sick. Good thing Jae is nearby... JJ/her bro! :D


I do look forward to tomorrow's church hopping adventure... I wonder where God will call me! Highrock? CityLife? CCFC?? I'm going to try to visit all three tomorrow...


One tremendous blessing (in disguise), I suppose, is that loneliness really forces me to cling to God... Ps 63:1, dude, seriously!
