Chicago Trinity Adventure (CTA


Greetings to everyone from Chicago! The Picture is the view out of my apartment for CTA. I'll be living downtown until August 20. On Friday I moved in and went to an orientation meeting at the Chicago Semester location (11 E. Adams). My apartment is at State and Division, only a few blocks from the lake. I'm really close to North Avenue Beach and Oak Street Beach.

So far I've gone on an architecture tour from one of the directors at the Chicago Semester, went to the Cheesecake Factory, Oak St. Beach, and Miller's Pub (for dinner, not beer of course). This morning we're going to 4th Presbyterian Church on State Street for the 11:00 service. Then we're going back to the church at 2:00 to serve in their soup kitchen until 6:00. Tomorrow, I start the History 103 class. I'll be in class every morning for 6 days a week from 9-12. It'll be a lot of work, but it will also be very fun. Hope the VanDrunen Open went well. I'm looking forward to some pictures.

Too bad they couldn't get you a better view :)

Wow! I'm really jealous that they didn't have this when I was an active Troll.

The Van Drunen Open went very well... I'm sure that people will be posting pictures soon.

Love,

The Longest Putt Winner (and proud "Measure 'N More" prize-holder)
