I got back from Chicago at 4 AM today, but I surprisingly slept for most of the voyage home. While in the Windy City, I had conducted (what I interpret as) a successful job interview at a non-profit working out of Northwestern University.

Sleeping = weakness

I shook Mary Sue's hand! It was kind of clammy.

My 97-year-old great-great-aunt sent me a $10 check for graduation. How thoughtful!
