It was very busy, however, I did get to take a little break one night when my friend Adam came to town for a business trip and I got to be his tour guide for one evening. We went to the German Christkindle market. I told Adam it was going to be cold, but he didn't believe me. We had to stop and buy a hat and gloves because it was so cold. We went to see the lights on the Magnificent Mile, and had deep dish pizza at Gino's East. We finished by going to the Hancock Tower to see the view and have cheesecake. (The Hancock Tower is almost as tall as the Sears Tower, and instead of paying $16 for a ticket to go up, you can go to the lounge in the top floor and get food and the view for less. Unfortunately for Adam, the best view from the tower is the window from the women's bathroom on the top floor.) It was nice to have one evening not thinking about school. I had to work very hard to make it possible though.

Walking around Chicago you cross the Chicago River several times. The bridges are quite pretty.
This is where I took Adam for Chicago style, deep dish pizza--I ate a salad.
The view from the women's restroom-- I took some pictures for Adam since he couldn't go in.
As a reward for finishing finals I got to go to Wicked with some friends here in Chicago. It was wonderful!
