I have been in Chicago officially for THREE days now!
Here is what has happened/ How I feel:
-Really hung over when I got here Sunday---because Saturday night was so much fun. So hung over I thought I was going to fall off my balcony to two and a half flights below concrete.
-Got coffee in the morning
-Paid 100 big ones to make my closet be able to hang and store things
-Talked roomates into buying a drill. Almost broke my thumb setting up a bookcase.
-Almost broke the balcony jumping out there. Who knew concrete could crack? Apparently it had just been re-done.
-Broke my room ceiling fan, so it can only work on low setting. VERY HOT.
-Dinner with bro. Wine. Shrimp.
-Walking through city and feeling so alive that I can barely stand to only walk.
-Feel lifted out of a funk that I have been in for some time now. Happy.
-Drove to MI this morning, re-registered my plates. Saw mom.
-Mike Rempel says to have street smarts when doing public transit. His BF got badly beat up.
-Weekend street festival that I am preparing for. Jesse is taking me.
-Junk trucks outside my house everyday. Full of old bikes, grills, wood, dirt, leaves, cotton... Sometimes I think I could jump off the balcony and land on them.
-Started work. Took the bus-NO PROBLEM. Melissa Bloch was working; we had to wear hats, but it was so great to get to work with her. She invited me over. We are going to work out together, and shop cheap in her area for stuff we will need.
You are surely bored by now. I will say more later.
