on winterim and chicago daycation.

my winterim class is almost over. almost. all of the exams and quizzes are done online and each component opens at a certain time. tonight is my last exam and i'm ready to take it. except it doesn't open up for another 35 minutes. this class was supposed to be 12 days long for three hours each day. magically we had two freezing-no-class-days and have gotten out of class early for the past few nights. i am starting to think that all college classes should be offered this way (well, maybe do it in three weeks and skip the fridays). can you imagine how much more quickly you would be able to get out of school? i will always take winter and summer classes. 

danny and i are heading down to chicago tomorrow once i am done with work. we're staying at the congress plaza. we've stayed their before when we headed down there for my old co-worker's wedding, but i had no idea that it was HAUNTED back then. i'm so excited. danny is already making fun of me, saying that i'm going to be walking around with a flashlight to find all the ghosts (seriously. i'll have a headlamp. you have to keep your hands free!). in all reality, we'll probably check in at 6, drop our bags, and scurry off to the el. i've got a date with a milkshake at the chicago diner. i'm also demanding cupcakes from molly's. we probably won't make our way back to our room until midnight and i'll want to get up early so we can eat at yolk right down the street (red velvet french toast, anyone?). danny thinks we'll have time to see the science&industry museum AND the shedd aquarium. i'm not an idiot. both of those places deserve a full day dedicated to each. i think i'd rather spend my day at the shedd though. science and industry is cool and all, but i've been there a few times and nothing really changes. the shedd though? fish move and that's good enough for me. 

anyway. marla is demanding attention from me. who am i to deny her sweet kitty cuddles?
