the test went really well. A's all around.
tuesday night after the test i had a party ("post-exam happy hour") at my place. it went really well. most of my class showed up, we had a good time, were in bed by 12 or 12:30 and up for class the next morning.
this week we did the abdomen. bleh. it's smelly, messy and unorganized. and our lecturer speaks in monotone and reads off his slides. ugh.
i was surprised by the spleen. i thought it was kind of a squishy organ like the pancreas, but it looks more like a kidney. it's pretty solid. i think it might be my favorite organ so far.
it's cool how everything is so compartmentalized and everything. and it blows my mind how all of our cells differentiate and form these organ structures and these systems. i'm not even going to try to wrap my head around that cause my mind will just blow.
friday night a bunch of the girls from class and i went out downtown and stayed at meganne's mom's place. she lives in lincoln park in a ritzy little apartment. friday night was pretty fun, but there was the typical problem with group dynamics and people wanting to go different places. amelia and i ended up opting out of the last bar and strolling down the street for some late night munchies.
saturday. was. awesome.
we woke up, got dressed and went exploring. stopped at a starbucks and urban outfitters where i picked up my new favorite adventure pack and a little hat. meganne wanted to go to the zoo so we headed that way. we ran into the farmer's market which was Huge! it was great. i'm definitely planning on heading back there. then we walked around this cute little lake where they had paddle boats and these big old swan boats which were hilarious, but adorable. we walked through the zoo which was really impressive, ESPECIALLY for being completely and totally free. i love chicago.
at this point the group split up and rhonda and amelia and i took off for more adventures while everyone else headed back home. we hopped on a bus to the loop and ended up walking forever to this street festival. the festival was alright. i had some really good shishkabobs and a very refreshing miller lite. at this point we started heading towards wrigleyville. we ended up taking pretty much every color of L train possible in numerous different directions, but we made it. eventually.
we met amelia's friend who was in town for a bachelor party at one of the bars. we ended up staying at the rooftop of this bar for most of the night. it was a very intimate crowd as everyone had been drinking there pretty much all day, so by the end of the night we pretty much knew everyone. it was very good times.
we met our friend terra at another bar to say hi and made our way to evanston and the metra station to catch the last train leaving the city for the night. rasheed scooped us up from the station, we stopped at taco bell for fourth meal and crashed for the night.
it was super fun times and we ended up getting to see most of the city.
today is clean-up and put life back in order day.
