Sunday Funday

Had a wonderful morning sleeping in until noon. Then my mother and I went to the Library downtown to check out books for a Lit Review that I need to write for school.   After that we went up to Lincoln Park to drop off some mail at my brother's and decided the three of us should eat at delicious Ricobene's.   I had an italian beef with sweet peppers and fries and I am now stuffed to the gills.

TFA Thursday & Featured Friend Friday

Wednesday I received an email stating that I was invited for a final interview with Teach For America!  This is extremely exciting because this is something that I really want to do.  My old suite-mate from freshman year of college is currently in Columbia for the Peace Corps, and that is another thing I would like to do during my lifetime. 
For TFA's final interview it is necessary to wear a nice suit, so I went downtown with my father to the office, and of course took advantage of State Street.  I did buy just a basic black suite from Macy's, but of course I had to make purchases from H&M and Forever21.  It would be fantastic if I actually do get a job to help me out with my shopping habits.
Last night I met up my friends Rachel and Michelle, so it was nice to get a little bit of a night out and catch up on life and other things.  That was the first time I saw Rachel since her wedding back in February, and she notified me that her and her husband, Chris will be moving to Wisconsin next month, but at least that state is next to Illinois.

View from the 27th floor office.  Such a great view of the Prison ((the triangular building)), but at least the lake and other buildings are in the view.

Buddy, the cutest St. Bernard puppy that is always at the parking lot.


Briano, the Featured Friday Friend... Briano is mainly my brother's good friend, but I've known him since I was like 8.  He transferred to ASU in Spring of 2010 so it was nice to get a taste of home while living in Arizona.  Just the other day he went left home to go to the Air Force, thus the reason why he's my FFF.
