Due to unforeseen circumstances, I will only reach Boston on the evening of the 26th of August, thus missing the first day of orientation. I will return to Singapore on 3 January 2010 instead.
One of my friends says that he'll be joining me in New York after my exams, and his aunt who lives in New York has agreed to let me stay with her after I move out of my dormitory. Hopefully everything will work out as planned - I won't blame him or his aunt if either (or both) of them reneges on his/her (or their) words due to unexpected changes, because sometimes extraordinary things may happen that disrupt the entire plan. If that is the case I'll have to travel alone in the US from 22 December to 3 January, and that sounds pretty thrilling actually, though needless to say I'd still very much prefer to have company. I'll be spending Christmas and the New Year overseas in a city of snow, a wandering sojourner in a foreign land fully soaking up the festive joy. :)
If budget allows I'd like to venture into Canada (I'm very eager to visit Montreal) over the weekends during my semester as well - but it is all contingent on other factors really. Right now I'm just hoping that everything will turn out fine.
By the way, I tried signing up for a CouchSurfing account, so that I can get accommodation from strangers if need be, but the website kept telling me to re-enter the verification code even though I had already taken extra care to make sure that everything was correct. Eventually I became so irritated that I gave up trying to register an account. Is there something wrong with the website or with my Internet settings? Did anyone face the same problem when signing up?
