The fourth of July was a very eventful day. We had our regular SAT course in the morning and then we were supposed to have a whole day planned to celebrate. Unfortunately, it began to rain really hard so we cancelled the visit to the park we were supposed to go to. We had about five hours of free time, but it was really great. I went to Build-a-Bear with some friends because one of their birthdays is the 10th, and we wanted to get her a present. We ended up getting her a white bear and naming it Oggi, after everybody's favorite student on this trip. (:
Then we just walked around the city... going to Starbucks and whatnot.
We went to dinner at this very cool restaurant called Fire and Ice, where we could choose what to put in our platters and watch our food be made right in front of us.
At the end of the day, we ended up going to the Boston Commons to watch the fireworks. Our hopes were up since the rain had stopped, but not too long after we arrived, it began to rain again.
We still all had a really great time. The only bad thing was that the sorrow of leaving finally hit me. I have been looking forward to returning home to see my mom again for a long time, but I have really gotten used to these people and will miss them quite a lot.
