St. Patrick's Day in Chicago!

Heidi and I got up early this morning to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Chicago...and I am glad that we did. We went downtown with Dana and Amanda and got a spot by the river so that we could see it dyed green. We waited for a long time...apparently it takes a long time for the dye to travel down the river. We finally ended up walked toward Michigan Ave a little further and saw the neon green water! We rushed to the parade route and because we waited so long to see the river dyed, we did not get a very good spot to see the parade. We ended up leaving early because we couldn't see and we were very cold. There were so many people downtown and so much excitement. I'm so glad that we got to experience this holiday in Chicago.

We got back to our apartment. I worked on some homework this afternoon and then Heidi and I made chicken parmesan for dinner. (Yes, I am learning how to cook.) After dinner we decided to watch a movie together. It's nice to have a quiet night in the apartment.

Tomorrow, my seminar is going to Orchestra Hall to see "Sweet Honey in the Rock," an all female acappella group. I am really excited about this concert.
