3,124 hours later.

Em's completed her hours and is unemployed. Yah.

We're currently surrounded by boxes, boxes everywhere. Sorting through all our things, deciding which things we want to send home and which things we can live without and take to the charity shop. The apartments a bit of a mess, piles of things cluttering the floor. It's a bit of a nightmare for somebody who like to keep things a little tidy. Soon have everything packed up and sent home. We leave for Seattle four weeks today and will be back in England in Six.

I was gutted at missing last years FA Cup final because I was too tight to pay the $25 pay per view fee. Of course it turned out be one of the best finals in years and made $25 seem cheap for 2 hours plus of quality entertainment. Wasn't going to miss this years. But wouldn't you know it, this year it was pretty much a waste of money and time, wouldn't have been as bad if United had won I guess. You win some and lose some, I feel like we lost twice. Gutted again.

A poll released last week put Boston at number 3, behind New York and Miami for road rage. We haven't driven while we have been here so they can't blame us. We've witnessed some shocking driving in our time here, I'm still confused by the turn on red sign, allowing drivers to turn right even if the lights red. That's got nothing to do with road rage though but you need to keep your wits about you as a pedestrian. Especially if your still not used to them driving on the other side of the road.

With us entering our final weeks we thought it would be good to do a few lists of our favourite things experiences while we have lived in Boston and the big U.S. of A. First up, fav five films.

Emma's
1, The Departed.
2, Blood Diamond.
3, United 93.
4, Blades of Glory,
5, Devil Wears Prada.

Mark's
1, The Departed.
2, Munich,
3, United 93
4, Wallace & Gromit Curse of the Were Rabbit
5, Stranger Than Fiction

Cheers.
