Chi-town birthday fun!
This past weekend was a blast! Friday Rachel, Kira and I went shopping for Heather's birthday present and that night Kira, Heather me and Kira's friend went to see Alfie which was not that great by the way. I hate it when characters talk to the camera. It's like, why am I watching this, the whole reason for me to see a movie is to escape into someone else's life for 2 hours but instead I'm included in your problems? No thank you. Wouldn't you feel stupid if you were the actor speaking into the camera with 50 other people on crew watching you from behind? I would. Anyway, we called it an early night cause we were getting up early to go to Chicago the next morning.
Saturday morning we left pretty early by college standards, sometime before 9am. We went to Waukesha to pick up Lindsey and met Heather's parents to exchange gifts and what not. Then we headed down to Chicago. And you'd all be very proud to know that I managed Chicago traffic like a pro. Well, we parked the car near the hotel and made our way to the Art Institute of Chicago. That was a lot of fun. We all got to see what we wanted to see and so we were satisfied. Once we ate and got our fill of art we headed to the Magnificent Mile to do a little shopping. It was so crowded it felt like a Christmas crowd. After everyone got tired and maybe a touch crabby we headed back to check in. Did that, and changed then headed to dinner. Across the street, real nice for 5 tired and sore girls. The resteraunt was great, big Italian meal. But when they seated us they walked us through the kitchen which was the weirdest thing I think I've ever done at a resteraunt. I don't think that could be very sanitary. Anyway... after dinner we got dessert to go and went back to the hotel to enjoy a little birthday bubbly and dessert. Hot tub, sauna, more bubblly and bed.
Sunday we woke up at a decent hour and went out to do more shoping and headed back by 1. We got home by 4 something after dropping Lindsey off. I spent the rest of the night doing pretty much nothing until I remembered I had a Linguistics midterm the next day. Then I studied, watched the American Music Awards and went to bed. (Usher rocks)
Today was just another boring Monday. 2 classes, 1 of them included a midterm which I wasn't too happy about, but whatever. I am currently bored out of my mind, typing a journal and watching Cold Mountain. Luckily Elf comes out tomorrow so I can buy it and spend more money and not be bored.
I miss.... lots of things...
