Chicago

One of the requirements to being an au pair is completing 6 credits on various different courses to comply with your visa. so i decided to take a weekend course in Chicago which gave me 4 credits and was rather cheap. on Friday night we started off at my house with Laura, Saskia and Flo and myself. we watched Glee for a few hours and had dinner, and then Marie came to pick us up and we drove to Chicago, from Minneapolis it took about 6 1/2 hours. even though it was only about $3 all together I could not believe that we had to drive through 3 tolls in one state.. we left my house at about 1130 and arrived to Chicago at 6 am saturday morning. due to lack of sleep we slept in the car for 2 hours. then i need to sign in for my class and meet the rest of the au pairs from minnesota who came down the day before. we started class at 9 and finished at 1030 at night. was a long day and a drink was needed so Naures, Flo and myself skipped the movie and left early and went to the bar that was connected to the hotel was sooooo cheap $3 for drinks i was in heaven and then to make things awesome they had karaoke i was in heaven once again... we spent the whole night at the pub and hogging the karaoke... after that Naures and Myself went to a neighbourhood bar and i officially saw American Ghetto, trash club... it was rather funny but made us realise how good minneapolis is.. the next day we had class again at 9 and finished at 5... during the day we were able to have a few breaks which was much needed..when class finished at 5 we got in the car and headed home.. we left chicago about 530 and arrived in minneapolis at 1130pm.. the ride home was rather quick and the help of Glee and some "doof doof" music kept me sane... good weekend
