Chicago

It seems like recently my posts have been few and far in between.  It's been a little hectic recently.  I've moved three times in the last two months.  First I moved out of my apartment in Rexburg after graduation.  Instead of moving right to Chicago like I originally had planned, I got an apartment in Provo for a month and waited until my sister's house closed and they could move in.  If I hadn't done that, it would have meant that I would have to get an apartment in Chicago which, let's face it, is not an option that I wanted to take considering rent would be fairly steep for a newly graduated college student.

I arrived in Chicago two weeks ago last Thursday.  I fell in love with the city right away.  I live in Evanston which is north of the city.  Evanston is a fun town with lots to see and do.  And I love being so close to a big city again.  I was deprived of that in Rexburg.  I didn't realize how pretty it would be here.  As soon as I take some pictures, I'll post them so you can see.

I started my training on Thursday and I absolutely love it.  The lab I'm working at is part of this awesome museum that has so many interesting things.  I love to go and see the different exhibits when I'm done with training every day.  It is also very close to Lake Michigan.  On Friday, I ate my lunch outside on a picnic bench overlooking the lake before catching my train to come home.

My only complaint right now is that it has been so cold.  I have been freezing since I got here.  Friday was one of the only sunny days since I've gotten here.  Hopefully it'll warm up soon.
