Through many crazy events somehow I have ended up in Chicago, Illinois (ill-eh-noiz). My close friends know that I lived in Iowa for sometime.
As you can see, I lived on the Iowa/Illinois border. I can honestly say that I never imagined living in Illinois and for the most part do not associate Chicago with Illinois. In fact, I had to pause and consider with Monica what in fact the capital of Illinois is (Springfield). Funny how those things slip your mind over time.
I wish I had some pictures of the apartment and the move on my computer because right now I am not feeling in the mood to snap any photographs. Hopefully, by the end of the week I can have a photo-based entry on the move! The move was quite an adventure. The story will tell itself once I have the pictures up. It is hard to escape the feeling of isolation. There is so much to do to get settled in, but I think minds naturally wander to the greatest perceived threat, however irrational. For those of you at Perkins after the night of imbibing you know what I am talking about. I cannot deny either that my personality lends toward dwelling a bit, but back to Chicago and the move.
September 18th is the beginning of Northwestern University Orientation. Craziness, huh? I always wondered to what extent I should have tried harder right out of high school. If the reputation of this school is an accurate measure of its worthwhileness, then it took me a while, but I am exerting more effort toward my education. It will be fascinating contrasting the University of Minnesota and Northwestern University.
We beat the Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time today…with that I am going to delay any more thought on Chicago.
