Finally... a real post

Well, I guess since I'm here at the office anyway I should make a real post on the ol' blog. Work has been going well... I guess nothing out of the ordinary going on there really. I have had a ton of homework to keep me busy though. I had to write a paper that was due today at 5:00 and I still have a bunch of reading to do. On Friday for art class we went and visited a Chicago printmaker by the name of Tony Fitzpatrick. His shop was really cool and the whole thing was a good experience. I hope to go back sometime if I ever get some free time to see what he's up to. That afternoon Tom, Mike, Rachel, and I went to 'Mother's Too' to shoot some pool. Later I played some Yoo-Ker (okay, i know that's totally not how to spell that, but at least you can tell what i'm trying to say). The next day I worked on a topic for my paper a bit and went to the Lincoln Park zoo for a couple hours. Then I met my parents and Kris at Navy Pier for supper at Capi's kitchen, an Italian place. It was good to see family again, but it was a pretty short visit. Parking in Chicago is a real pain in the butt (particularly the wallet region). I spent most of Sunday writing my paper. This afternoon we visited a neigborhood for our practicum class. We have to make a presentation on the neigborhood, Austin, to everybody else eventually. We ended up at Judi's house (she's the group leader) where we had an excellent vegetarian mexican dinner. I had someone work for me tonight at the CS office, but here I am anyhow... typing away at my blog. I have most of my plans in place for Meg's visit, but haven't really figured out for sure what all we're going to do on Saturday during the day and on Thursday. I am really looking forward to seeing her again. It's just about 10:00, so I better wrap it up her and start for the door... Hopefully I will post again sooner this time.
