Today is our last day in Philly and it feels like we’ve been here both a short time and a long time. Regardless, it’s been a great time. Lucky for me, since it was our last day we didn’t have to be up too early. I’d say I got up around 8:30-9 or so, which… Continue reading Day 3 : Magic Gardens

After sleeping only 5 hours last night after a long day, I gotta say, it was difficult getting up this morning. Nonetheless, the show must go on because we had A LOT to do today. This is the only full day my parents had while here in Philly, and we’re all leaving about midday tomorrow.… Continue reading Day 2 : We walked how much?!

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
