Finally....

So I've made it to Chicago! Hopefully I'll keep up this blog so I can use it as my journal to turn in for internship credit! I've been slacking but maybe now I'll have things I want to update about. Friday I arrived in Wisconsin and visited with my grandparents and my aunt and uncle a bit and then yesterday my uncle dropped me off here at the University Center of Chicago.

It's wonderful here! I'm so excited about being in the city. We live in the South Loop area which is so convenient because my "L" stop is only 2 blocks away and then the train takes me pretty much straight to my job! I start tomorrow - I have to be there at 9 a.m. One other girl in the program is also interning there and she happens to be my neighbor in the dorm! I'm already making friends - I love the girls I live with and everyone in the program is really friendly. Last night we found the liquor store and a nearby bar, haha. We went to the bar to watch the basketball game and had a good time talking and hanging out. (When I say "we" I mean my roommate and our 2 suitemates. All of us are from completely different areas - FL, NY, MO, & ID) Anyways...the rooms are pretty nice and the food in the cafeteria is pretty delicious. There's some great shopping a few blocks away and plenty of fun things to do it seems. I'm really looking forward to a great summer.
