2 february

In stark contrast to this time last year (buried in feet of snow, abandoned cars on Lakeshore Drive, the entire city shut down), it was quite sunny and pleasant today. I decided to take a long power walk along the Lakefront Trail (the first in a long time, and my poor legs are paying the price) and even made it down to the North Ave hook pier to get a really nice view of the hazy city. Upon my return home, I was greeted with my first acceptance letter to a grad program (go me!) and I may be potentially taking a very fun trip pretty soon. Today was great.
