| I don't think tonight was the "real deal" as Megan said it'd be. But don't get me wrong, it was still a fun experience. It just didn't seem amazing like everything else in chicago is. I guess a lot of people went home for Labor Day weekend, so campus is kinda like a ghost town. Rather nice, actually. Most of us slept in pretty late from the night before. But it was definitely needed. Tonight we hoped on the el and went to the jazz festival in grant park. That was nice but not really my thing. As sara would say, I like "pizza hut jazz" instead of the real stuff that they played tonight. It was kinda cool though because Mr. Moody, this really famous jazz guy, was playing. We decided to leave that in search of food. That proved more difficult than expected. Problem: Find a place to eat that's 1) Not a fast food place 2) not expensive. Luckily, we found this really good place called Governor's Pub on State St. Plus, the played realllly good music. Sara wanted to go see Navy Pier after dinner, so we waited forever to catch a bus. That was an experience unto itself. It was my first time riding a public bus in the U.S. I was kind of disgusted. There were empty beer bottles, wrappers, pop cans, and...chicken bones!?! Ugh. I should probably go wash my hands a few times. Oh wait...I think i already did. Anyways, when we finally got the Navy Pier we found out it was closed, so instead we got off on Grand and hoped on the el back to campus. By that time it was almost midnight, so we called it night. Everyone was pretty exhausted. All-in-all, the night wasn't too exciting. Maybe I just had my hopes too high. I mean, this is chicago, you'd think there'd be something to do on a saturday that didn't involve 1) IDs 2) Underage Drinking 3) Tons of Money. Maybe I was wrong. For $5 I could've gone to a Rugby party and gotten wasted...well, before they ran out of beer, anyways. That's where my roomate headed because he has friends whose friends play on the rugby team? I dunno, something like that. Matt's not a "partier" but he'd pay $5 to watch people drink? I wanna watch SNL but we don't get any reception without cable. Plus, it's probably over due to the hour difference. I'm tired, but I don't like going to bed with this feeling of unaccomplishment. Tomorrow's not going to be fun at all because I plan on reading the Odyssey ALL DAY! | |
