I currently have a Blue Velvet-esque psuedo-mystery on my hands. It involves my neighbor, whose door is adjacent to mine in the hallway. We are the only ones on the four floor.

Fortunately, I have enjoyed quite a wonderful first week in Boston. My enjoyment was mainly derived from the awesome people I have met (they deserve such a better adjective than just "awesome", but that will have to suffice for now since it IS 3 AM) and the sheer loveliness of the city of Boston.
