Advices... To The Next Class

Dear Future Students:

I'm glad to write you. Why? Because this was an amazing trip and experience for me, and I'm excited you're gonna live the same.


One of the biggest advices that I'll give you is you bring with an adaptor!! USA just has a type of power plug, so... there's no option you can connect something if it's not with an adaptor... I'm sure in your country it's gonna be in a lower price than here (Almost $25).

Second is... Don't bring too much clothes! I mean, I LOVE clothes and I love to change my wearing everyday, but if you come here in a good season of stores (clearance, offers, bla-bla) I'm pretty sure you're gonna buy a lot! So... avoid an unnecessary stress (like me u.u) with the bags.

Bring with a lot of dollars, I mean... don't bring here with your local money expecting change it, because... you'll lost a lot of money, it's too expensive!!

Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy! No matter the season you come here... Enjoy! Find that way to enjoy every detail and experience that Chicago offers... Live the experience!

Chicago History Museum

Yesterday, February 3, we went to the Chicago History Museum...

When someone mentioned it I thought "Ow, another museum! One of two: It's gonna like me too much or I'm gonna get bored..." And, fortunately, was the first. Maybe it isn't too big, it hasn't too much things... BUT It has an amazing structure and very elegant rooms;;; (Perfects to my photos!)

The artifact that I liked the most was the Train... I mean: How could be another thing? It is a wonderful piece of art. This train was made to face the increase of the population in Chicago. It is huge, I had to jump high to touch the ceiling! It has a brown color, with pieces of the same gamma inside, its shape is so elegant, with a lot of details in the floor, in corners, in the ceiling, in the outside frontage and so... The tree most important characteristics of the train was the elegant facade, the big and right construction and the correct materials used. I think this object was used with his right objective in the end of the 19 century or beginning of the 20 century.

The photograph that I liked the most was the called "Union Loop, Wabash Ave. And Van Buren St, Chicago"... Why? Because I love imagine the cities in an old time. This is exhibited in SIAM room,

Shedd Aquarium

Shedd Aquarium!! What a nice place... It has a big variety of species... No just fishes, they have snakes, turtles and another kind of animals. Sadly, on Friday we could not see all the Shedd Aquarium, because it close at 5 o'clock... So, we have to leave the building. BUT, I Came back on Saturday, by my own. I could see all the animals I Like, quiet and slowly... The one who has my attention was the SeaHorses... I do love them! Love their history, their mythology, their appearance!

Before that, I could take some time to be seated on a chair, in front of the Michigan Lake and finally write some things and songs I needed to write and express... Oh, yes! And obviously take some photos (And really, really wild photos, but I Can't show them here lol).

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures!

ChinaTown... A Mysterious place in Chicago... Nice and new tastes of Food... How excited! Oh! And I was too into shopping... To Friends and Family, obvious. This trip was organized by Kendall... So I enjoyed a lot with my classmates!

 




What 'bout this? The last Monday was Holiday in USA, so... We haven't classes and we went to enjoy the skate on ice... I did it just once in my whole life and it wasn't a very good experience... But this one... Gosh! Skate ON ice and UNDER ice... Because was snowing while we were skating... It was a magical experience. Oh! And I didn't fall, so... Yes! It was perfect... Do you notice it for my big smile? :D

By our own we were to... Party! Yey!! We had an entire week here and we didn't dance? No way! So... Saturday was the correct time. We were in a disco called evilOlive, pretty nice, good music... But a little expensive, I mean, it was more than we expected. Nevertheless, I LOVE to dance, so... It was a great night!

Did I mention that I LOVE Shopping? I think I did it... But I'm human too, so I get tired too... And yes! This guy lying on the floor of Target Is Me... Sorry mom!

My First Week In Chicago

Chicago... Chicago, Chicago, Chicago.

I found SO interesting and surprising the "coincidences" of the life. Why? Because I'm living in the center, I mean, in the DOWNTOWN of Chicago... that place when everything converge... Business, Art, Museums, Stores, Brands... If I wanted to live deeply the Chicago's Life in just a month, This is the correct place. The most surprising aspects that I found are the many historic buildings, even if they're converted in stores, They still maintain their beauty architect. About the lifestyle, I enjoy the nice and gentle mood of the chicagoons, and I LOVE the speak way that have the Black chicagoons, I Love the black culture!!! 

About the food, it's excited, why? 'Cos I LOVE to eat and taste new senses and type of foods... even I miss the chilean food too. My favorite meal are the many type and "FREE" fruits that I can eat on Kendall, and the differents soups. My least favorite meal are all the spicy meal... I'm not a fan of the Spicy. 

About the weather *onomatopoeia of cold* I don't like it >.< I don't like at all the cold weather, not here nor Chile... Even the snow is enchanting... Don't like the Cold, But I can visit many places and locations although, but wearing a bear on me!!

I miss the sun of my country, the green places and the smiling people... Here there are many gentle people, but not all smile... So, I gift them one! :D

Harold Washington Library... ?

Ok, The Washington Library... What Can I Say? First, I'm gonna explain my title.. That ? Sign is because I saw a lot of paints, architecturals details... And just a few pair of books, haha, It's interesting... But My whole attention is always put on the architectural details of Chicago, I'm In love with them!!

The Glass dome is enchanting... In that floor there's a kind of little garden with some tables and chairs to enjoy the quiet and peacefully place, it's too perfect to read or WRITE something (Yes, I Think I'm gonna come back).





Finally, as custom, I took some photos with my classmates.

Chicago Cultural Center

On Monday we visited the Chicago Cultural Center. 

What Can I Say? I've Fall in Love with it! Its architect structure its enchanting... There are so many details on it that no one can-t be surprised with something... 

Oh! And to finish the day, I took this LO-VE-LY photo with almost ALL classmates... LOVE IT!
