I want to live on the South Side so badly so that I can meet people like this.

A great time!  Saw some touristy things — Millenium Park, Willis Tower, Navy Pier, Michigan Avenue.

Did a dangerous thing — went to Cottage Grove to see the Confederate Mound.

Did some “local” things — went to the Art Institute, two Irish pubs, a speakeasy, and a gay bar.

Ate lots of delicious food — soup, Thai, Chicago deep dish pizza, authentic Mexican, and brunch.

Slept.  Ran.  Walked.  Saw Julia and hugged her a lot.  And most importantly, didn’t go to work and thought about graduate school plans.
