Greetings from Cambridge! Let's see let's see what's been happening since yesterday morning? I guess the number one thing is the introduction to my life the game of Chinese 9-Man Volleyball. When I heard Dan was playing volleyball out here, I naturally assumed it would be regular volleyball, either indoors or on grass. Instead, we arrived at an asphault school playground to the sight of many many games of Chinese 9Man. Chinese 9Man involves 9Men playing on each side, and then can do crazy things like play off the net, which negates a touch, and they can do the kind of hit where you're basically throwing the ball down. I think the teams were made up of people from about high school to mid 30s, and come from DC, NY, Toronto, Boston, LA and SF. Dan's team is called the Dragons. They are pretty frickin' awesome. Anyways, it's a pretty fast paced, exciting game, with guys everywhere and the ball going back and forth forever. And I really love saying Chinese 9Man Volleyball.
So besides Chinese 9Man Volleyball, we also spent time hanging out, enjoying each other's company. We cooked a fat dinner and ate it family style, hanging out, laughing and talking. Then we headed to Boston Common at around 10 PM and played frisbee in the dark. It was fun. Grabbed some beer at Cheers and then headed home where we talked and then crashed.
This morning Tim and Jason left at the crack of dawn, and Dan left early to play more Chinese 9Man Volleyball. So that left the girls to hang out. We ate some lunch and went the Museum of Science, where we checked out the LORD OF THE RINGS exhibit!! Awesome. It had all these costumes and props, and little videos on the making of, and interactive things where you could see how they did the motion capture and other special effects. I am such a nerd. I loved it. We took some funny pictures too. Hee heee. Yay LOTR.
After the museum, we went to Cambridge Christian Fellowship Church, which I was very excited to check out. Not only is it Jane's church, but my church in DC is a church plant of it. Good service, good message, and good people!! I saw Patty Lee, who was a senior when I was a freshman, and met her husband, I saw Tina and Angie, who I chilled with this summer, and I also saw none other than Mr. SJ Lee, looking very cool and very cute with his yuj. Yay!
So right now, I feel like I'm about to throw up. We bought SO MUCH Indian food, and then finished off a disgusting amount of it. So I am stuffed silly. Bleccchhh. I hope I'm not feeling it too bad tomorrow....
Alright. I'm tired. Time for bed. Time flies when you're having fun.
