I've been in Chicago for just over a month now, and I'm really liking the city! Overall, I've found people here to be friendly, and I seem to enjoy myself more in the more urban environment than Madison, WI.
What have I been up to?
- Lots of running, especially in the Bucktown/Wicker Park area. I recently ran the Bucktown 5k and did very well for myself!
- Hot Yoga. This is yoga in a 105 degree room, for 90 minutes. Yes, it's very sweaty, but I like it, and you get to do each pose twice, so you get an immediate chance to improve upon your first try.
- Exploring the city. I saw a bunch of "aircraft" try to fly but mostly fall into Lake Michigan, explored a Mexican street market, and also seen more of the city's nightlife. Whatever you might be looking for, there is definitely something to do in Chicago.
- Meeting up with old friends.
- Reading more.
- Searching for my next job.
The job search has been my main focus, but I would be going crazy if it weren't for the other fun things going on! I'm definitely enjoying my free time here, although I appreciate the more active and slightly more structured environment of an office. But I'm sure that once I start a job, I'll be looking back wistfully on these more open-ended days!
