(aka: To Chicagoland!)
- Why I’m going to Chicago alone.
- What happened to my travel companion.
- Why I’m leaving on a plane instead of the aforementioned Amtrak.
- Why I refuse to talk about this.
But what I will answer is why I’m headed to Chicago at all — and that’s because I wanted to go :] I’ve worked hard over the years and now I have the funds and time to do what I really want, which is to travel. Because I deserve it. Why in January in temperatures I know I’m unprepared for? Because I have perfect weather here in Los Angeles all the time and it would be nice to experience something different (although my opinion is probably going to change the moment I step out of the train — by the way, did I tell you that I’m probably going to spend my time in Chicagoland riding the trains? This will probably sound incredibly nerdy, but I love that idea :D).
My flight is in a few hours and I’m . . well, not looking forward to it. I don’t even like airplanes :/ But even more than that, because I can’t sleep until 4am most nights anyway . . . I will most likely be up all night in Chicago time. :P Luckily (or unluckily), my host and I usually talk in the middle of the night anyway because of his funky work schedule so I might actually have somebody to stay awake with me. :O
I’m not really sure what I’m going to do, but I’m not really worried about that :] I suppose I’ll figure out when I get there.
