Night Out in Boston

I must go ahead and apologize for this post. I went out tonight and had a few drinks so there is no telling how this blog is going to turn out. I can't believe I went out on a Tuesday night. It's a school night. I must have lost my mind. It's not like I'm still at the CDC where all I had to do was hold my head up the next day; I actually have class. Yeah, I know I drift off anyway in class but now... oh my goodness. It is going to be a rough day tomorrow.

So how did I end up in the streets tonight? The school booked a ship for the graduate students. I guess it was a welcome or get-to-know-each-other type of thing. Whatever it was, they got us a boat, we sailed the water, drank and watched insanely uncoordinated people dance. I tell you one thing. My class of future doctors know how to drink but to PARTY... that's another story. I got so tickled just sitting in my seat and watching the dance floor. I knew if I got up there and did what I do they would probably kick me out the program. They weren't ready for it!!! I decided it was probably best for me to just sit down and babysit my drink. The music was on point though. Oh my goodness... when I first got there I was like, "Oh this is the last good song we will hear for the evening". Wrong I was... they kept it going all night. And then they played my ish... had a lil reggae going... by the time the ship docked I was in my chair getting it. One of the staff members came up to me and was like let me take you on the dance floor so you can really work it. GET AWAY FROM ME. This was the same dude who sang Happy Birthday to me like 30 minutes prior. Story there.... While we were waiting in the buffet line he was coming around asking if it was anyone's birthday. I made the comment that I could pretend it was my birthday. Didn't bother me. I was joking people. He came up to me like 40 minutes later woooo woooing; trying to get his Luther on. I was cracking up. The rest of the night I had random folks walking up to me with birthday wishes. GIVE ME MONEY!!!

So the boat docked and we (R, A and I) were stirred up from the music. We can't waste the night. If we are going to be out, we might as well be OUT. We decided to hit up some bars up the street from the school. It worked out well. We had a good time, had some good conversation and meet some pretty cool people. And now I am here. I can barely keep my eyes open, but I wanted to share my first night on the town experience. It ain't home but it will do for the time being. MUAH....
