september 28th - october 6th

Wow, I really haven't been good at updating this lately... sorry everyone. Okay, thinking back over the past week, what was interesting?

My internship last week was quite hectic - I had a lot of projects going on all at once and one of which took up WAY too much time, but at least it got finished. I think the best part of the week at my internship was getting clearance to take a sneak peak of two of the halls that are opening in October. I should be getting my extra ID for those halls sometime this week.

Outside of my internship last week wasn't too exciting. I got sick on Tuesday and it hasn't quite gotten out of my system yet so I've been pretty lethargic after work. Thursday was our third Art event - we went to see a modern dance company. And despite how much I tried... I did not find it enjoyable or understandable. It was odd to be quite frank, there was no unifying thread throughout any section over the course of the hour and a half. There wasn't even music - it was just a bunch of street noises clanging and ringing with no detectable rhythm. I appreciated the dancers dedication and strength - especially staying in unison without any driving beat, but still I couldn't wrap my brain around the goal/meaning of the performance.

This past weekend I went with a group to Wrigleyville to a dueling piano bar followed by a midnight comedy show. They piano bar was pretty fun and we plan on going again, however I would not recommend the comedy show. But I guess you can't expect much from a show at midnight that cost only $5.

Monday was a pretty normal day, as was today. I got a handful of new projects to work on. I'm trying to think if there is any interesting stories to share from the past week...

Over the weekend I was reminded of just how interesting some of the people in Chicago can be - having really no inhibitions sometimes... and today I had the honor of witnessing a man wearing 2-inch platform sneakers on my way home from work which I found thoroughly entertaining (especially because he wasn't even short to begin with). I love seeing all the different characters of the city - the fashion choices - everything. And my exciting news of the week - I get to go to both St. Louis for a conference this winter break and to Mexico for a mission trip!!! They'll be a bit pricey, but it's an experience I just can't pass up.

Anyways, I think that will catch us up for now. Tomorrow I have class and Thursday our Art Event is to go to an art museum which I'm really looking forward to.

Hope you're all doing well!
