Newberry Semester in Chi City...

Nov 29

Holiday updates!

So, a lot has happened since I last updated.

We turned in our rough drafts AND got them back. I did even better than I expected, so that was a relief. Only two more weeks until our final draft is due and then we have presentations. I’m trying not to stress too much… We’ll see how that goes…

Cat-sitting went well: the apartment was gorgeous and the cats were adorable. Pics to come soon.

Went on a fieldtrip to the Pullman District on the South Side. It was actually pretty fun despite the fact that our tour guide was kinda weird. We had lunch at this tiny diner and ate waaaaaay too much. It was delicious though.

Also, a bunch of us got to see a free pre-screening of The Fantastic Mr. Fox. I totally loved it! So cute and really fun.

I’ve actually been home for almost a week now. Thanksgiving was pretty great, as I got to see lots of family. Today I’m gonna put up the Christmas decorations and savor my last night of relaxation before I head back to Chicago tomorrow morning.

I can’t believe I only have two more weeks and then my semester is over! It seems like it really flew by… But as much as I love Chicago and the Newberry, it will be nice to get back to normal college life…
