Stop Requested

I moved to Chicago today. It was quite the experience moving in...we were parked illegally on a very busy street in order to unload my many boxes. We made it, though. Our apartment is HUGE!!! I will post pictures soon. I am sharing a room, but we have so much space that it should all be fine. We had our first precept meeting tonight at our apartment. There are nine girls in our precept and they all seem really fun. After precept a couple of my roommates went to the store. I had a chance to really get to know my roommate, Heidi. We made a pizza tonight for dinner and then went to Uptown with the other Logan Square aparment to meet everyone. It was my very first experience riding the CTA. It wasn't too bad, but I was very confused as to what direction we needed to go. Luckily, my roommate Amanda has been here for about a week and pretty much knows her way around the CTA. We made it to Uptown by taking a bus and then the red line. On the way back to our apartment we were a little confused as to what bus stop we had to get off on, but we made it. The bus driver was really nice and actually let us off the bus on the side of the street, not at an actual bus stop. Tomorrow begins our week of Orientation. We have things to do from 9:30 until 4:30 tomorrow. I'm very excited about this semester and all of the adventures I will have with my new friends.
