Reflections

I would just like to take a little time to reflect on my experiences in Chicago so far. I have really learned a lot about myself and maybe I have even changed (a little). The past couple of days have really made me think about some things.

Plans change with the wind around here. I am a very scheduled person and I don't like when plans change at the last minute. It has been difficult for me to "go with the flow," but I think I'm learning to accept change...in many ways. Being flexible is a good quality to have and I think I'm finally learning how to do that. I have had many new experiences so far and I have had to think about many difficult issues. This program is teaching me not only about Chicago, but also about myself and what I truly believe.

Some days I really wonder why I chose this program, but at the end of the day I'm really glad I'm here. I have made so many wonderful friends and I've done some really interesting things. This semester is going by quickly and I'm going to do my best to truly "go with the flow" and enjoy everything this amazing city has to offer.
