- First and foremost I must thank the folks responsible for my successful move from Saint Paul to Chicago (in chronological order): 1) my mother for discovering my apartment 2) Kevin for providing me with transportation to my bullshit U-Haul pick-up location in Coon Rapids and helping to load my new couch from my grandparents’ apartment into the truck 3) Josh, Erin, and Emily for helping with the massive task of loading the truck 4) Dad, Nick, and Andrew for unloading my possessions from the truck into my apartment. One area in which I need to improve is my willingness to ask others for help. I asked the aforementioned people for help once if at all, and they rushed to my aid. I am not exaggerating when I write that without them I would not have arrived in
- I am reasonable well settled in to my new apartment. Below are some snapshots of my living space. The apartment is not huge by any means but provides plenty of space for a one person. I discovered that – much to my relief – there is enough room to utilize the pullout bed, meaning that I have enough room to house three guests comfortably. I hope those of you who live outside the city will find a time to visit in the near future.
- Orientation was surprisingly overwhelming. I have not been in a position where I have needed to make new friends since my first year of college five years ago. Furthermore, eight to nine hour days and the confirmation that law school is in fact an unforgiving and time consuming experience seems enough to give most people an ulcer.
- As promised (you can stop pestering me now Jaaker) below are the concerts I am considering attending in the next few months. I became considerably depressed last week when I discovered that the city offers far more shows than I will be able to attend considering my disposable income and free time. I am currently attempting to devise a point system of some sort to determine which shows I will attend. The only shows I have already purchased tickets for are the
