Chicago

Whirl wind road trip to Chicago with Kendall a friend from Warner Pacific College, roommate and teacher. We left at 2:00pm on Thursday after school and drove straight through about 16 hours. We had a great time on Friday going around the city and sight seeing. We went to Lake Michigan and walked along the beach and got our feet wet. It was real foggy so we could not see much of the lake but it did have waves crashing on the shore like the ocean.

Saturday was our interview. We get ready and drive through downtown Chicago which is no easy feat. Man they drive crazy there. Got to the hotel only to have to call our contact and find that they had canceled Chicago interviews because they had hired all they needed, only we did not get that email. I emailed our contact before we left asking her to confirm and never got a response either. So we did a little shopping and headed home.

We did some sight seeing in Wisconsin and picked up some cheese, drove through Milwaukee on our way home. Got home around 11:30am Sunday and passed out for awhile. I am going back to bed shortly but I know everyone was waiting to hear if I was going overseas. Looks like God has other plans.

I am not really disappointed as I did not have high hopes for this job but God rewards those who take risks and that was a risk for me. Now I am putting applications in Oregon with little hope for getting anything, and organizing my room and planning for next year. Still not sure I am coming home for the summer. I need to fix my car and see what kind of money I have. Plus I think it will be hard to go home knowing I am not going to stay. Also there are a lot of things to do in North Dakota in the summer. I might just do some sight seeing and take small trips around the area. We shall see. I need to discuss things with my life planner (God). I will post pictures later.
