I hate it here and I want to go home. There are no simpler words to say what I'm feeling right now. I thought today was going to be okay, but alas, it was just another horrible day in the city. I didn't have to be at my internship until 12, so I got up at 8 and worked on some homework. I ate breakfast and watched the news and then got ready to leave. Well, I missed the bus by one minute and decided that I could just wait for the next one...since it wasn't raining...yeah right. After about five minutes of waiting, it started to sprinkle and then downpour. I waited in the pouring rain for 20 minutes. Lovely. I really love to go to my internship. Sadly, I had to leave early today for class. Another walk in the rain to the Uptown apartment. The train was really slow on the way back tonight. Amanda and I stopped at the grocery store and I got a pizza for dinner- healthy, I know.
I broke down and cleaned the food (that has been there for over a week) out of our drain tonight- it was starting to smell. Oh, I also cleaned the stove and the countertop. I don't know who taught my roommates how to clean, but I am so thankful to my mom for teaching me things like that. Thanks, mom! (And I also now know how frustrated my mom felt when my sister and I wouldn't clean up after ourselves.)
I'm counting down the days until I can leave. I just can't wait to be back with my friends and family. I am ready to be done...this isn't fun anymore.

Hey there girlie! I'm so sorry to hear that you're not having a good time down there. If it makes you feel any better, there are a lot of days where I know it would just be easier to hop on a plane and go back to what I always knew, be with the people I already have close ties with, and be the person I always was. But think about it - being in Chicago is giving you the opportunity to really discover yourself on so many different levels. Perhaps it's different for you because you still are in the States, but don't get too discouraged! There will be up days and down days, just like in Ripon!
Keep your chin up! It's almost over anyway!
