Chicago and major meetings.

yesterday we all went to Chicago.
we rode in buses with our blocks and did something like Speed Dating on the way there.
it was a fairly efficient way to get to know half of the people we'll be spending the most time with this semester.
but there were so many people we didn't get to talk to.
so, it will take effort.

Jamie, Kaleb, and I spent the afternoon wandering around the city, never straying too far from Michigan Ave.
we went up in Chicago Place. it's so great in there.
almost totally deserted but the view is amazing.
ate at Gino's East. tried to find where I had written during Spring Break but couldn't.
had the same waitress, though.

I took lots of pictures. I am loving my new camera.

we had a great time on the way back to campus.
waking Evan up with the plume of Zany Zac's gladiator helmet.
almost waking Evan up with some of the whipped cream from Faith's cheesecake, and then watching Evan put Zac into a headlock.
playing silent "Bunny Bunny."
good times.

hall meetings last night.
then some Catch Phrase.

today I skipped breakfast (and had an apple and peanut butter in the room.) and was about a minute late for chapel.

we had an academic major meeting after chapel.
ours was "Language and Literature." including English, Communication, Spanish.
it focused mostly on Comm, so I didn't pay too much attention.

now I'm not going to lunch.
I haven't been hungry much this week.

we have a presentation by a student panel about Academic Tips for Success and a video in about half an hour.
then another block meeting.
dinner and free time tonight.

it's been a good couple of days but I'm ready to get into a routine.

later, folks.

Chicago Place is so awesome. The only Taco Bell in the downtown area is up there, so Allie and I go there when we've got a craving.

It's insane how empty it is. What's crazy is there's a mall a couple of blocks down Michigan that is the complete opposite. It's filled with super high class, trendy stores.
