The thing I love most about the city is that you can be by yourself and feel connected to everyone. Maybe I'm strange and I feel more alive, more of a person when I'm in the city alone. I strolled down Michigan Ave & Millenium Park as well as State street and handed out flyers for Juliette Lewis's show. I felt really happy just being alone and probably pissing off more people for my own good.

I treated myself to a fancy haircut. I can't believe I cut off 2 1/2 inches! Bold move on my part for sure. Can't wait till tomorrow so I can enjoy lunch with a few austinites! Where to go? I want to find a really cute italian joint with chicago roots attacted to it's restaurant. Well see. Pictures soon. I really need to quit being so lazy and go and take pictures of this city before it gets miserable outside to do so.

I know this weekend I'm going to be in trouble. H&M is having a sale starting at 5 bucks. I have so many expenses right now. Phone just broke and I gotta pay for this stupid ass shampoo & conditioner which I was sneakily lured into. 100 dollars on this product! In happier news, I'm back to my perky self again and back on the school wagon. Crazy how I'm getting better grades in college than I did in Highschool. Well now I lay my head to sleep and listen to the soothing sounds of Ray LaMontage.

I've decided I'm going to Israel this summer. I just have to talk to mom and pops about it. 49 more days till I come home! C:

YAY OR NAY ON THE CUT?

I doubt anyone reads this except for creepy people.

Tornado watch, 40 mile winds, bitchy roommate, best veggie hotdogs, shakespeare reading, trashy reality t.v is only the preview of my week. What the hell was I thinking?! Chicago, really? It's 50 degrees outside and it's only September. I felt like an idiot for the only person wearing mittens today. Oh and did I mention the winds here are strong? I can't even wear a scarf without it coming off. I seriously need to stock up on some winter attire ASAP. My skirts and tank top aren't going to cut it this season..

While in class today I decided it was best I write a lists of wants instead of listen to my professor. Whoops.

- Nars cream blush

- Lip Liner

- Socks, socks, socks, and more socks

Let me just say that I lOoOOoOoooooVeee listening to the Ramones right now. Soundtrack of the week. I guess I could say I want to be sedated by the Ramones.

Thank you Pat Benatar!

The air is alot more crisp than it was a week ago. Time is going by alot more slower than usual. Suddenly two weeks seems like two months and coming home seems so far away. The trees are starting to change color, nights are getting more chilly and the windy city is starting to live up to it's expectations. I can't believe it's been over two months since I've moved to Chicago. I'm surpised I haven't come running home yet (even though any given chance I would love to visit). I've decided I'm definately going to give Chicago a year. I love the city; amazing, exciting, and there is always something to do around here. I may not have close group of friends yet but I definately have this beautiful city to make up for it. Second City tonight? Oh yeah.
