Happy Fall!

Happy Fall solstice! It is the first day of fall and I can feel it in the air and it excites me! I find the fall to be so beautiful in the city so I can't wait for it to get here in full effect! This weekend was not all that entertaining, as I picked up an extra shift at Starbucks and ended up working the weekend away. Although I did have a rather thrilling experience on Friday night!
I went to see "My Best Friends Girl" which is the new Dane Cook movie with Kate Hudson! Not only was it hilarious and fantastic but I went with my friend Brian who happened to be an extra in the movie and you can see him during the Prom scene in the movie! Brian is also going to be an extra in the Pink Panther movie that is coming out soon and he is the actor who gets hit by the car in the beginning! I think it was really cool to be able to see a familiar face in such a 'Hollywood movie." In fact the whole movie was familiar because the movie was shot right in Downtown Boston!Dane Cook's father was a Law School Professor and they used Suffolk's Law School! There were also parts that were filmed in the North End, just a couple blocks from my apartment, and I remember last spring seeing the camera crews and crowds, and hearing about the actors that were filming, but now seeing the movie is made so much more exciting because you have gotten to see them film those scenes!
Anyway, I also just signed up for ZipCar, which I am really excited for because now I can get a car when I need one. As a student in Boston, I gave up my car and left it home, and eventually sold it because of the added cost and difficultly of having a car in the City, but then I Found ZipCar! They are a really cool service that offers "Wheels When you Want Them" so by being a member you can pick up a car located in the city (at saved parking spots) and you can use them for an hour or two, or the whole day! I am excited because I really want to go apple picking this year and there are no places close to a train, so it would be hard otherwise, now all I have to do is grab a zipcar and go! Also, by being a Suffolk Student I get a lower membership cost!
I think that's really all that is going on right now, excited to be getting into my grove as we get further into the semester! Hope you all have a happy fall!
