only because i want to see more than pictures on this here blog.
I am at the gleacher center, fourth floor south study lounge, sitting just to the left of the middle of this horseshoe sitting arrangement, and looking out onto the chicago river bridge and hyatt regency. it's a beautiful 47 degrees outside. i should be teaching myself about the stoics, now that i've spent perhaps more than four good days on epicureanism. i keep looking out of these huge huge windows and i want to be out there, walking down michigan avenue, embraced by the sun. at least from here i can witness such happenings, people walking by, the flags across the river bridge blown happily. i wonder what time this place closes. i wonder how difficult the exam will be. purchasing lunch today was a peculiar adventure. i'd forgotten that b-school kids run around in suits all day, i wore jeans and a t-shirt and barely fixed my hair. i felt like a dirty little puppy at the food court, wandering around aimlessly, unsure of what to eat or where to be. i was the youngest one there or at least felt like i was. but people usually love dirty little puppies, even when they're dirty. you can't hate a puppy even if she don't belong.
