Artist's Choice - Round 1 Brickfish

Exams

I have my first exam tomorrow. I can't believe that the semester is finally coming to a close.

Back Home

I made it back to Cleveland yesterday morning. Chicago is a pretty awesome place.

Saturday night I met up with Larisa, Kyle, Mariana, Steve, and Brittany for a nice dinner at Ginos. I think Ginos is the most famous deep-dish Chicago pizza place in the area. We got 2 medium pizzas and an appetizer. At the end there was almost an entire pizza left. It was pretty amazing. Afterwards Steve took us to his uncle's fondue restaurant. We had a chocolate fondue which the waitress set on fire. It was really cool and delicious. Larisa and I then returned to the hotel room to sleep while the others went out to a jazz bar.

More later...

Shitty Weather

There is some reeeeeally shitty weather out there right now. The snow is all melting and it's getting all slushy and wet out. My shoes and socks are absolutely soaked. I'm currently sitting in a coffee shop drinking some nice hot chocolate. I bought a pair of boots/snow resistant shoes because I needed them. I found a pizza place that Steve was talking about yesterday. It's called Ginos and it's on Michigan Avenue. There was a line of about 50 people standing outside so it's gotta be good.

This new lappy is awesome. I can hold it and love it and it keeps me warm and I can get on the internet and carry it around and it was cheap!

I got a free cup-noodle from someone on the street handing them out.

I am gonna try to get a hold of the other Japan Study peeps now!

Chicago

I made it to Chicago this morning. Union Station apparently has internet access and some nice bakeries for breakfast. It is way to early to be functioning so I'm just going to chill here for a while before I figure out what to do. Gotta get me some of that deep dish pizza for lunch and/or dinner!

It be Thursday

And most of my work is done!!! We got our programming project done (or at least as much as we cared to do) which can be found at:

I just have a shortened Japanese class tomorrow and then I'm off to Chicago!

Time Passes By

Well Thanksgiving has come and gone and I'm back at school. Going home must have been good for my sickness because I am much much MUCH better now. I finally got to relax and spend 4 days sitting at home doing absolutely nothing. Of course, I did family things, hung out with the cousins, went to see Santa come to town, stole a car to drive, rented Mirrors Edge, put up the Christmas tree, put up the lights outside, fixed my juggling clubs, and more... I did a whole bunch of stuff over break.

Back at school, it's crunch time. I managed to steal the Lumina and drove up myself this time. It seems that both mom and dad have to work when I get out from exams, meaning that I'll get kicked out of the dorms before anyone can come pick me up. Well now I can go home whenever I get around to it. This is the last week of class. Homework, projects, classes, everything is coming to an end. I will probably be pulling 2 all nighters to work on our programming project that is due this Thursday. Good thing I stole a coffee maker from dad!
