Attention all women! (Or men, too. You can tell me what you think but be prepared for me to slam you mercilessly in my next blog if you say anything offensive.) I’m taking a survery. Tell me what you think.
Today I was talking with some of the other female interns and we got on the […]

Economics lesson for the day:
Today it was announced that the Federal Reserve is expected to raise the discount rate by 0.25%, and to follow it up with several similar small hikes over the next few years. So what, you ask? Well, so a lot.
First, some brief background, so you know why the Fed cares […]

This week-end Emily and Lisa are in town (Lisa’s train leaves for California from Chicago on Monday; Emily volunteered to drive her up here). Yesterday we went to Taste of Chicago, and shopped the Magnificent Mile (!). Taste of Chicago was so much fun! I think my favorite thing was the fried green tomatoes I […]

Today I had my first meeting with the other interns. For part of the meeting we were able to have a Q&A session with a staff member. This staff member is, like, the best speaker/teacher at the church and so lots of questions came up about the best teaching style and lots of fancy-named sermon […]

Second day at work, and I’ve finally met some other interns! Yay! I am going to a small group tonight, too, held at my boss, Katie’s, home. SO I’ll meet people there too. Unfortunately– or fortunately– I’ve met about twenty other people too…and I can’t remember many names…so I only remember Tammy, who’s giving me […]

Today was my first day of work. I work for The Ground Level Cafe, which is under the umbrella of Community Christian Church. There are two locations: North (in Naperville) and South (in Romeoville). I have gotten to know my boss Katie and I really like her, despite the fact that we were both pretty […]

Old Navy has the greatest t-shirt out ever. You know how you can always find cutesy romantic t-shirts? Well, thank goodness, somebody has finally come out with a funny one for girls who don’t have somebody to adore them. And after 22 years of being single, I figured I deserved to buy myself one to […]

Phew! After a whirl-wind last few days I am finally safe and sound in Chicago. Here’s a brief journal:
Tuesday: Finished packing, etc. with some help from Amy, Heidi, and Dave. Developed a bizarre case of hives at about 10:30pm. Talked to Emily and Amy about it, took lots of Benadryl, and lay tossing and turning […]

Omigosh I have crazy, insane hives. They are all over me. I seriously have never seen hives this big. One of them covers a little under half of my right upper arm. And they itch like mad. And benadryl isn’t helping! I am starting to spas out which is not good considering the fact that […]

Friends are great. I’m going to miss mine this summer. Over the past week or so I took a bunch of goofy digital pictures with my friends, and went down to CVS today and got about fourteen of them printed. They will go up on the walls in my room at Alex & Rachel’s place. […]
