internet & furniture

so one of my neighbors is apparently donating internet to the neighborhood. and by that i mean that he/she doesn't lock up his/her wireless so we can use it sometimes when the signal comes in, but only on martin's macbook.

so far, we have picked up more furniture in the street, a camping chair and some assorted kitchen supplies. one of our neighbors, a few blocks away, sold bradley a really sweet twin bed frame, mattress & boxspring with a trundle bed for $50 and then gave allegra a free table. so i think everyone right now has a mattress except for me. i really really want one, but it is so hard to get anything in this town without a car and lots of money. well, i would've paid 50 but the boys were working for each other and so i didnt even know bradley was getting a bed until the man called us back today.

my spanish on the other hand, is one of the most useful things. we got a deal on a sweet table the other day at a yard sale and allegra got a free frame for her mirror from the lady... spanish. holla. sometimes though, we walk down the street and i can't understand because i think the people are from the DR and that spanish is fast. faster than a tongue moving your mouth for regular spanish.

tomorrow is our first day of work, and i have to admit... i am kind of nervous. really nervous. i don't know what to expect, even though i've been living with these people, i dont know what the rest of the corps is like. although, i heard last year that with such a big corps you don't even really get to know everyone because all of the work you do is team based. i guess tomorrow is my first adventure in finding that out.

You're going to be great! Everyone will love you as much as I love you and Boston will never be the same! Oh, but I really think you deserve a bed. I just got mine. It's much better than before...
