YAY!

I'm here in Chicago. The eagle has landed. :) I'm really having a great time. My dad was nice enough to come along for the 2 day moving trip, and it went pretty seemlessly. We stopped in Nashville just in time to see my brother perform with his band, which was cool. He played at this dig called the "Twin Kegs" in Nashville. His band, The Stateside Menace did awesome. I love their sound. I told him they reminded me of the counting crows.

We booked a hotel in Nashville for the night and were able to have a nice dinner with the bro before heading the rest of the way the next morning. Since, we didn't have any time constraints the next day, we decided to take our time and enjoy the drive. Since we were heading to Chicago and the high was 57, and my dad forgot to bring a jacket, we stopped at several stores to try to find him one. We ended up just going to goodwill and he found a pullover sweater thing there for like $4.00. I have to say it was the cleanest goodwill I've ever been in. My only complaint was the lime green walls that were near the bathrooms. I think I burned my retinas.

After being on the road for about 9 hours, we finally made it to the apartment and met the roommates(who are awesome!) and moved all of my stuff into my new room. It's amazing that it all fit. The room is a bit on the small side, which is the theme in these old chicago buildings, but I'm not complaining because, I'm close to everything and Johnny Depp filmed parts of a movie on our street last summer(details to follow) so I am ecstatic.

There are occasional loud obnoxious cubs fans wandering around the streets but they're pretty much harmless.

Ok, I'm stopping for now. I could probably write all night. I'll be starting my job-hunting ASAP so I'm sure that's what you will be reading about next.

Wish me luck!
