I sit in my hotel room in the windy city at 5:30 pm on a Sunday. I spent five hours at church in Hyde Park. Wouldn't you know it? I met someone at the singles ward that I know...kind of. She knew me is a better way of putting it. It was the former roommate and friend of one of my former girlfriends. I guess they are everywhere. I only met her once a few years ago, but she came up to me after sunday school and introduced herself. She seemed to know an amazing amount about me. I vaguely remember her. Interesting how that happens. Anyway, I figured that I was going to be bored tonight, so I asked her to show me around town if she gets off of work at a reasonable time. That should be interesting.
Well, I don't want to be windy just because I'm in Chicago, but I am kind of proud of myself. I bought a bunch of food last night to last through today, and one thing was a cup of noodles. After church, I took the filter holder and pot out of the coffee machine and put my cup of noodles under it. Shazaam. Instant hot water and hot dinner. Not bad, eh? Yeah, I'm cool. What can I say?
So tomorrow is the big internship interview at Northwestern Medical School. I should have prepared more by reading up on stuff. I'm sure it will be more grueling than the nice little social event they had at the University of Missouri on friday. I have to admit, I like Chicago better than Columbia. I'd rather live here. We'll see what happens. Wish me luck.
Ciao.
