Week 2 - Part 1

I know I haven't been updating. Everyday in Boston is like eat sleep and play. Haha... So here I am now only updating my second week when I just returned home from Boston!

Hope you still enjoy reading them anyway. :)

Week 2 Sunday

The first Sunday I went to my lecturer's church. It is Super Happening! haa... I really loved the whole atmosphere there, the way they worshipped like nothing else mattered. It was just amazing how people from all over the world worship the One God. It was a pity that I only went once. I wished I has went back at least one more time.

Anyway, I after church, we went shopping. Hahaha... yes.... the Singaporean thing to do. We went to Lechmere to shop till the shops all closed. Look at all the shopping bags. I only had one. haa

Week 2 Monday

Monday. It was more field visit for the week, though lesson for the first module are officially over. We did not spent much time at the centre itself, we spent most of our time outdoors. I spent time with this little boy. Weee.. he was super cute. He was giving me a running commentary of what they were doing. haha I got sand all over myself cos he decided it was fun to pour sand all over me. It was messy but fun, thats what I love about the child care centre in Boston. They allow children to play freely, with sand, water, or simply glue.

After the child care, my friend and I decided to explore the havard area. I am glad I did it because I never had the chance to do it after. We explore the different theatre hall and the pretty gardens. Haha... Harvard Campus, beautiful. It is just grand and old school. Where can you ever find such a campus in Singapore.

Week 2 Tueday

Nothing too exciting this day. We went to MIT childcare centre, and looked around. I heard that it was a very good centre. Was a little sian that we didn't get a guided tour around the centre like the first group in the previous day though. Anyway, after that it was going to the co-op to get silly MIT stuff. I got a T shirt.

After that it was back to school for some Reggio Emilia talk. Which took up the whole afternoon. I don't really remember what I did after that haha.. I think it was project.

Week 2 Wednesday

By then my leg has sorta gone down, but it was still painful. I just kept quiet and limp all over. Thurday was library visit day. We had a tour around the library. It was like so late. They should have brought us around on the first week itself.

Anyway, I went to D angelo's for lunch before the library visit. The food, sandwhich to be exact was yummy! I loved it. The clam chowder there is good too. I miss clam chowder now! haha.

After the library visit it was dinner at the student centre. It was Baberque food but we didn't have to cook anything. The US BBQ and ours are just totally different haa. :)

MY SPECS BROKE!!!

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! my specs broke. I was bathing and then the specs dropped, after which when I proceed to pick it up, it broke into two! No screws were missing or anything. It just seems like the fusing part of the specs was not fused properly. *Whines* I loved this spec. It was special, cos the sides was twisted, and it made me smile everytime I saw it.

Its time to move on I guess. New specs when I get back to Singapore, or I'll just stick to the pair I have. Luckily I changed the lens of my old glasses when I made this specs the last time. I am glad I did. :) I can't believe my world without my glasses any more, and it does not make sense to wear my contacts all day long too.

Now, I am a green spec-y !

Guess staying in was a good thing. :)

Was a little down. But am okay now. There is work to do. I need to snap out of it. :) Went for room visits and did some portrat drawing today. Haha... It was fun to draw different faces and just be silly. :)

It made me laugh. :)

Thank YOU JOFLY!!!! hee... for the preetty coin!! *hugs*
Hee... so happy that you thought about me when you were out... haha :P

My Week 1 in Boston-Part1

MONDAY

TUESDAY

WEDNESDAY

Staying in the whole day today.

I am gonna stay in the whole day today so that my feet can rest reest rest. I hope tomorrow it will b okay. I WANT TO GO HARBOUR ISLAND! :) It will heal... It will heal.... *chants to self*

Note to self: Prop up feet when sitting down.

The doctor has recommanded that I take full bed rest today and that I should prop up my feet when I am sitting. My frens are all so sweet! They came back for lunch to check in on me. Thank you guys!

The 5 Hour wait

I went to the doctors today to check out my foot. It feels better but it has been aching at different areas. *sigh* So I decided to go to the doctors to check it out, to see if there is anything he can suggest that would make it better.

8pm- Reach hospital with Sukuna my lecturer, JoFly, SushiRon, and Just Reei.
9pm- 3 nurses had to look at me before I could offically enter the hospital.
10pm- The intern doctor came and looked at my foot, saying she suspects that it is a leg problem, but cos I had taken a long plane ride, she wanted to make sure the pain was not due to any blood clog.
10pm-12am- Waited like a lost puppy by 11pm my fren was discharged already!!
12am- Finally got wheeled to another room to get an ultra scan for my leg. I was told to flex my foot at different timings. Breath in and blow out and then hold my breath and then release. I got a little worried when it took really long. I though they found something. But thank God nothing is wrong.

12. 30am- Was wheeled out again. Then I had to wait for the intern doctor to get the resident doctor to come look at me. He was no where to be found, the other intern doctor was looking for him. So I waited and waited and waited.

1. 10am- FINALLY, the resident doctor came and he talked to me. Saying that the diagnosis is Plantar fasciitis. Got this off the internet. Plantar fasciitis causes stabbing or burning pain that's usually worse in the morning because the fascia tightens (contracts) overnight. Once your foot limbers up, the pain of plantar fasciitis normally decreases, but it may return after long periods of standing or after getting up from a seated position. Hmmm I have to get a follow up in Singapore.

Anyway,so we left the hospital and headed back to the dorm.

Mixed emotions as I have to stay in tomorrow. It is probably one of the more happening days. They are going to the museum of Science I think. Well, I am going to stay in an rest tomorrow and do project. :)

Slow down Wan Lin. You need your feet to heal, so that you can see more of Boston!

Look whos that pretty girl!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REEI!!!!! Praying you have a blessed birthday. Showered with Gods blessing! I pray you many dreams will come true! Hope you have a great birthday in BOSTON! wEeeEEee... !!

Day 3, 4 ,5, 6

It is my DAY 6 in Boston already. And I feel like I am missing out on so much things. Everybody just want to go out go out and go out. I want to go too!!!! But I am offically down with a swallon feet. Woke up really upset this morning because my foot was swelling and it hurt like mad. When I step on hard floor it hurts.

Almost everybody has gone to some buffet thingy that Felicity, my lecturer, organized now. I decided to stay in, because I think I should rest my foot. I don't want to be a "limping idiot"

Well no pic for now, because the pictures are mostly with my dear Jo and Pitmon Buddy.

REMINDER TO SELF: TAKE PICTURES FROM THEM! BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

I know my leg will heal. I prayed about it. And I am sure Jesus heals even swallon foot like this. :) I am reminded of my time when I was in Phillippine when I woke up in the middle of the night with a super aching arm, and after I prayed for healing and then I went back to sleep, the next day when I woke up, it is completely healed. I was crying out to God because I went all the way there to help with the construction of houses, and it cannot be that I will be down on the second day!

Sigh.... I wanna go out and explore yet I know I have to slow down and rest. I'm sure I'll get to see everything I wanna see by the end of this trip. I need to sit down and think about what I wanna do now. :)

Anyway, I have my own room now. Due to such a difference in sleeping patterns my room mate and I have choose to sleep in seperate rooms. I'm okie with it. haha In fact I over slept today because my roomie was not here.

Thats all the update I have for now. It will be more interesting I promised :) when the pics come.

For now I shall entertain you with pictures of my messy room.

My Dinner for today! :)Donuts and Pizza. Blah. I ate Pizza for lunch too. But I guess no complains :)
