So I left Notre Dame to go back to Chicago for a few days (our flight wasn't until the following Saturday). I arrived in Chicago to the open arms of Jon Halbach who nursed me back to health, kind of, with a chipotle burrito (clearly med school is paying off for him).My love for Notre Dame grew as we were told by our director that we can purchase two seperate things as a group and just send them the receipt to get reimbursed. So we took full advantage of that and bought the best tickets we could at a 'Wicked' show and also purchased a room at a hotel the night before we flew out of Chicago where racked up pretty much the largest tab we could there as we ordered the most expensive meals at the hotel restaurant. In total, we sent Notre Dame two receipts that combined to be over $900. Oh and the priest that created this Chile program, Fr. Sculley, got us free tickets to a cubs game with box seats (the second picture was our view). In gratitude, every drink we have now we cheers to Fr. Sculley.
Otherwise, the rest of the week in Chicago was spent throwing a football with Jon, seeing other Chicago people like Madl, Anne and Molly, chillin at the beach, and having a reunion of sorts with a few faculty members from Seton for less than fortunate reasons. I really do miss everyone from Seton, and it has been great hearing from a bunch of my students and collegues (sp?).
The first picture is our group. From left to right we have Brian, Molly, Lauren, Katy and the stud of the group.
