The end of the week was almost as good as the beginning. We had an interesting speaker yesterday in Core Course. He spoke to us about immigration. In the afternoon we all went to the Mexican Fine Art Museum. It is a nice museum, but a lot smaller than I expected. I was glad that we didn't have a tour guide; we just got to wander around. I planned to stay home last night and work on some homework (lame!!), but later in the evening, around 9:30, Dana called to see if I wanted to go over to the other Logan Square apartment and watch a movie. It took some convincing, but I went and had a lot of fun. We watched "Mean Girls" and chatted. Gladis and Amanda walked me home at about 12:30a.m. Much too late!!
Amanda and I went downtown this afternoon. We went to the Field Museum first. It is a very interesting place and we probably didn't see half of it. The really great thing was that it is free all through February! After the Field Museum we went to Millenium Park to see the ice sculptures. It wasn't what I expected, but it was still a neat thing to see. Also, I had never been to Millenium Park, so it was nice to see that area of downtown. After we were finished at Millenium Park, we got on a bus to go back to Washington Street. Amanda pointed out the Tribune Building, so we decided to get off the bus and check it out. It is a really interesting building and I'm so glad we decided to take a little detour. The Tribune Building has bricks and stones from buildings around the world and all over the United States. Each of the bricks or stones stick out from the main building and have a plaque near them stating where they are from. I found a brick that was from the White House and a stone from Paris! It was so amazing to see pieces of buildings from all over the world on one building!
After we were finished looking at the Tribune Building we got on another bus. We were actually trying desperately to find a Jimmy John's for dinner. The bus we got on did not stop before going on Lake Shore Drive so we accidently ended up in Wrigleyville. On our way to the red line station we found a Jamba Juice, my favorite! Of course we had to stop there. Dana had called us earlier asking if she could meet us for dinner. She called to tell us that she was downtown waiting for us while we were getting our drinks so we had to tell her what happened. We finally made it back downtown and finally found a Jimmy John's. Thanks to my wonderful boyfriend, my dinner was free tonight. :) After dinner, the three of us wandered into a couple of stores. Dana decided it was time to leave for the theater (she went to see "RENT") and called a cab. Amanda and I took the train home.
I had such a nice day. It was beautiful outside- sunny and not too cold. It was also really nice to spend time with Amanda outside of class. What a fun day we had together!
