So,

I don’t have a whole lot to say about Chicago other than that it was awesome.  I got offers at all 3 places I interviewed at, but I’m only considering two of them because the third seems like a bunch of boring older ladies.  I have, however, run into a small problem.  You see, these positions are mostly early intervention, which requires lots of home visits.  And public transportation, though excellent in Chicago, would take quite a while.  I don’t want to learn to drive and have a car and learn to parallel park!  So I’m going to see if maybe I can negotiate or something with the place I like more (the awesome one with all the Polish people).  Sigh.  I also found where I want to live-Lakeview.  There’s people my age, it’s not too expensive, and it’s pretty safe.  I still can’t believe how expensive decent apartments are, but whatev.  I went to the Lincoln Park Zoo.  I went to the Harry Potter exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry.  I did a tiny bit of shopping (I can’t do anymore because I need to save my dollars).  I went to a show at The Second City, which is this comedy club where a whole bunch of people who are famous now got their start (Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Steve Carrell, Chris Farley, Dan Akroyd, and loads more!).  It was super funny.  On my way from the hotel to the subway/train, I saw Martin Short filming something for TBS with a great dane-I walked right by and was like 2 feet away.  On the plane from Chicago to Raleigh, a little kid sat next to me (he was like 8 or 10).  His mom and younger brother sat across the aisle.  He offered me some starbursts!  It was adorable.  I was also reading one of my vampire books and on the cover it has a drawn girl sitting on a flying tiger with a vampire looking on.  He kept on leaning over to try to look at it.

The End
