Chicago, my kind of town...

[hkellick]

Oi, I'm tired.
So, Chicago was good. I really like it there. I can see myself living there one day. I have a day by day account I'll probably post later (when not at school), but for now, I'll give the basics as I vaguely recall.
I had a good time. I got... a fair amount of free crap, little to no sleep and, oh, we won the design competition! :)
Oh, and perhaps most importantly of all, the representatives from Parsons seemed genuinely interested in me.
I got to see alot of Downtown Chicago. I SAW the Sears Tower. I went into and up to the 96th floor of the John Hancock Building (You haven't seen Chicago until you've seen it from the top of the John Hancock building (and perhaps the Sears Tower if you can go that high.)
I can't help but being totally reminded of SimCity throughout the weekend. I swear alot of SimCity was built and designed BASED on Chicago. Tres cool, that. (And Tres Geek, I...)
The only unfortunate part of the weekend was that I was, perhaps, the only non-drinker there and perhaps the only person who needs about 7 or 8 hours of sleep. I was not the least bit interested in bar-hopping until 2 or 3 AM, while the other students were. So I ended up getting left in the hotel the one time and ended up leaving early the other time.
I think I might have had a better time with one or two of you guys there. Or at least someone who would perhaps go and explore the city with me instead of bar-hopping or whatever.
That said, I still enjoyed myself and had a good time, but I'm dead tired at the moment.
I'll post the day-by-day perhaps tonite.
But for now, back to work.. and maybe I'll sneak a nap in before class.

I am glad that you had a fun time in Chicago... and congrats on the design competition. :) I can understand the whole bar hopping thing lacking appeal, except for me it is even worse, because I am still a minor, so I can't even go in the first place. ;)

I had this same problem all summer at the girl scout camp. On nights off and such many times people just wanted to go to the local bar, which served nothing but budweiser..ick and hard liquiors, and I didn't feel like risking my job for a crappy tasting beer and equally nasty hard drinks. Now if they served some nice mixed drinks..well maybe I'd be willing to have one =) A nice white russian or a fuzzy navel..Mmm =)

I like drinks where I can't taste the alcohol.
I had a really good daiquiri in the John Hancock. Could hardly taste the alcohol at all :)
