I expected that returning to Boston would be the easiest transition to make after Wellesley. Since coming back, however, I’ve discovered the true nature of this transient city. Learning to let go of my expectations for familiarity has been the most difficult transition to gain familiarity with. Spending time with other young alums has been incredibly helpful in the process. Luckily, the WCAB Young Alumnae have planned a slate of events for the fall that kick off this week. Descriptions of the two August 2009 events are below. ’09 in greater Boston, I hope to see you there!
