Fourth of July!

So how was your Fourth of July? Mine was crazy.

I worked in the morning, from 6:30 to 3 and then went home. I was annoyed because I had absolutely no plans for the night and all of my friends had gone away Thursday night so my options were limited.

I called up a friend in Somerville and we made plans to hang out, drink, and try to see the fireworks from her rooftop. Once I got there her roommate said he was going down to MIT to a party and to see the fireworks from the rooftop there and we could go. For those of you not from around Boston, MIT is right next to where they set off the fireworks at the Charles River, so it's an ideal spot. We tagged along and went with him. After being there for a little while security came out and kicked everyone off the roof. Disappointing. We headed back inside and partied it up with some nerds until they started letting people back onto the roof.

This was the only picture I have from the night. It was in the bathroom at MIT. I have no idea why I took a picture of it.



Now, I'm not sure why this happened, but I had a really bad panic attack and I left the party, ended up getting lost but somehow finding my way to Kendall Square, got back on the T and headed back to my car.

It's got to be around 11:30 PM, and I got a phone call from another friend who was in Reading at a party with a hot tub and I decided to head in that direction. I didn't know anyone at this party except like 3 or 4 people so I spent the duration of my time there in the hot tub listening to really loud mainstream rock (i.e. Rage, Korn, lame.) but I love hot tubs so I made the most out of it. Around 1 AM I decided it was time to go, but on my travels back to my neighborhood I decided to call a friend from work because I had forgotten to call him earlier. Met up with him at some random house I had been to before, but I couldn't find it for the life of me when I was heading there. Hung out there for about 2 hours or so, then finally headed home around 3:30 AM.

I woke up the next morning around noonish, had to work at 1:30. Hungover as fuck. But all in all, I had a really amazing Fourth of July. I went to a roof party last Fourth so I'm going to try to keep the tradition alive for next year.
