day 6

This post will be short and sweet.

On Driving

While driving the other day, I honestly had this thought:

"Thank you Mike Hanson, for teaching me how to parallel park in the parking lot of Holy Name."

I'm glad Chicago has made me the driver I am — honking and all.

The El

I commuted via the El and bus for 2 years.
I have seen the weirdest things on the CTA.

But I have also had the sweetest moments on there — riding back with friends, having quiet time, reading the newspaper. Listening to my iPod for the first time on the El felt magical (everyone does it!).

Andrew and I had our first "dates" on the El. We would ride the Brown Line at night from Kimball down to the Loop and back.
We’d always stop at the Starbucks in Lincoln Square and run back to the train to make our transfer for free.

See, told you — short and sweet :)
