4 months since breaking my wrist
I can't believe it's already been 4 months since I broke my wrist. I had learned 5 things in just over a week after my injury, so imagine all the things I've learned since then!

There’s a bus at 9:12 coming so I wake… Continue reading Day 4: My last day in Chicago
Day 3: Art, Fields, and Views!
Nowadays I don’t get as many steps in as I’d like to and given that I walked nearly 9 miles yesterday, my body is feeling it.
