It has been another busy week. I needed a vacation to recover from my vacation! But aside from college and work I have a new flat mate called Erika who is an undergraduate computer science student at DePaul who has decided to move out of home and into halls. She seems quite nice so hopefully it will all be ok. I have also had a number of job interviews, including one for a group working to prevent evictions in San Francisco so I have fingers and toes crossed th...

I am back in snowy Chicago and it is very strange not to be skiing on the snow. I really didn't want to leave Colorado. I took a last lesson on Thursday with the same instructor, Carl, who I had had the day before. My friend Carla was also there from the day before as well as a few others.

My week started with a rather epic journey to Breckenridge. I flew into Denver International airport and then took a shuttle to Breck, however this journey that was supposed to take 2 hrs took nine! It was ever so slightly frustrating especially when it took 3 hours to drive 1 mile! But I did eventually...

I can't quite believe it has been 2 weeks since I wrote on this blog! The last 2 weeks have passed so quickly I just dont know where they have gone. I I have had assignmnets due in nearly every day of classes and so I have been working incredibly hard. Thankfully they are all done now and I have a week to relax. I was also helping with the Public Interest law auction which was a really fun night. There were loads of people there and loads of prizes. I bid on an...
