Are the Boston flashbacks because Minn reminds you of Boston, or because your anticipation of LS reminds you of your anticipation of UG? I'm looking forward to that (pleasant) nervous feeling of starting a new experience. Right now, I still feel the monotony...
Minneapolis reminds me of Boston, at least in amount of people moving around, the open-yet-neighborhoody feel, the gardens everywhere - and the fact that I still liked Boston in my first couple of years there.
I don't think it's yet hit me that I'm going back to school (after over a decade since I went ABD.) That won't come, I think, until August when I walk into orientation.
