phew
Now i actually have the time and motivation to talk about the trip. Well, first things first, we went by car. Which meant 8 hours of driving/being bored. I managed to entertain myself for an hour or so with the Learn Japanese CDs i checked out from the library the day before. And well, i know a little bit more Japanese, i can ask for directions ^-^'
When we got there, we checking into the Palmer House Hilton hotel (Me: Ugh, Hilton) and that place had an unhealthy obsession with peacocks. Everything was a peacock! We had brought the laptop along, but all it ended up being good for was playing Chicken's Revenge on because the hotel charged for internet service grrrrr
The first day my dad had to go off to the convention thingy so me, my sis and my mom walked down to the observatory and saw a show on black holes. That night we went to the Venetian Nights boat parade, we didn't even know it was that night until we saw these people setting up a ton of garbage cans by the lakeshore and we asked what was going on. They had fireworks too.
The next night we saw a Chicago Cubs baseball game against......aw come on, don't tell me i forgot who they played already. Either way they lost though.
We went walking down a shopping district called the Golden Coast or the magnificent mile. WE didn't find a thing there because; One: They didn't have any good stores. and Two:Everything was uber-expensive.
But we did see the musical Wicked. It was really great, one of my favorite things was the ddragon above the stage. The whole play its head was turned to it looked like it was looking right at me, it kind of started to freak me out after a while.
We toured two colleges while we were there, Northwestern and Valpraiso (also known as Valpo) Northwestern looked like a nice school, but it's majorly selective. something like 22000 people apply each year and 2000 some get in. I didn't like Valpo very much, probably for the reasons that its name sounds like a dog food and it's a thirty minute drive from Gary, Indiana. WE drove through there to get to Valpo.
And then we drove back. wheeeee,
and according to my mom my waffles are getting cold, so i'll end this post here
