| | First entry in a while...I did say that I might update once in a while, so here it goes:
Over Spring Break, I went to Chicago with my family. We stayed in an
Embassy Suites hotel, in a western suburb of Chicago called Lombard,
IL. The first day we were there, my sister was sick. Most of the day,
we just idled around the hotel (which was actually not too boring
because the hotel had plenty of amenities). However, I did get to meet
up with a friend, Alex Chen, that I made over the summer while at my
medicine college camp at UCLA. We went to see a movie at the mall near
the hotel. We originally intended to see V for Vendetta, but he wasn't
old enough to see those R-rated movies. We saw Ice Age 2 instead XD.
The dolphin show!
My sister and I outside the Shedd Aquarium.
The second day, my sister was feeling better, so we headed out of the
hotel to Chicago. First thing's first! We went to the Shedd Aquarium to
see all those animals that live under the sea. My sister loved it, of
course, because she has always been obsessed with fish, dolphins, and
other water creatures. We also drove around the U Chicago campus...I
can't say it was my favorite. Being located in the rough south side of
Chicago does not make me feel safe on the campus, nor do the security
posts located at every intersection. China Town for Dinner!
The northeastern view from the top of the Sears Tower.
The third day, we started at the Chicago Museum of Science and
Industry. It's such a big science museum!! I wish we could have spent
more time there. I got to see the U-505 German u-boat there, which was
used in WWII (APUSH!). I didn't get to see half of the museum (they
closed at 4PM! >_>). We then climbed up to the Sears Tower
skydeck. 360 degree views of Chicago! <3 =D.
Finally on the last (half) day, we took a look at Northwestern. Much
better than U Chicago! On the coast of Lake Michigan, ah...it's a place
I could see myself being able to study at.
Spring Break's over...Back to school...A busy April and May awaits me.
SAT Subject Tests, APs, Band Trip (to Chicago -_-;;), and soccer
