So, this is my first posting from the city of Chicago. So far, things are going well. I have been going non-stop since I arrived, and am exhausted! Everyone in my apartment has been passing out before 10 pm because we have been so busy. It's been crazy!
I arrived on Monday, and moved in to the apartment, and I thought that everything was going too easy until we left for our walking tour of our neighborhood, Hyde Park. We went to move in one of our roommates named Emily who had arrived late, and we couldn't open the door! The lock was jammed, and we ended up being locked out of our apartment until 8 pm because the landlord was too busy to come help us out. That made our day seem even longer, and we all promptly fell asleep after the landlord's son broke our door down.
Yesterday (Tuesday), in the morning we had ice breakers and got to know each other for the first time. It was a little overwhelming because of the amount of people, but the real fun came in the afternoon. We all split into groups and got to explore a neighborhood in the city for the first time. It was really fun, and we toured Albany Park, one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the whole United States. We picked up some kebabs and brought them back for the potluck.
Overall, it's been a good few days (albeit really busy), and there are only more exciting things to come...like Ripon this weekend for Frisbee Golf!
