An Update on My Life

Today I was supposed to meet my friend Amy and her two friends, Michael the girl and Brit, at the beach. Before the plans were set in stone however, I scheduled a rehearsal with the music director at church because I am cantoring at Mass Saturday night. The next train downtown wasn't until 1:10, so as I was sitting on the train, reading a hilarious book (Do Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?), Amy called me. "Grace?" she said, "Do you see that there is no sun outside?" It was indeed a dreary day, as many days in the Chicagoland area have been for the past few months. We ended up meeting at Gino's East. Basically I ended up walking around all of downtown Chicago. (FYI, I went into Tiffany's for the first time ever on Monday and had Jenny take a picture of me outside looking in the window, just like Audrey!) Then we ended up going to the mall, and it was raining, so we walked around with our towels over our heads and looked like colorful nuns!... not only did we get to people watch today, but we were being people watched! That makes absolutely no grammatical sense, but on this blog I really don't care much about my English. I just kind of type and post. We had some *ahem* interesting encounters at the mall, and finally we decided it was time to leave because it was getting dark out earlier because of the rain. Then I had to wait 20 minutes for the darn trolley. When I got to the train, I saw a bald man up ahead of me. "Dad!" I shouted. He didn't hear me. I began calling his name, "Bob! Bob!" Some man next to me said that it was to loud and he wouldn't hear me. "BOB!" I shouted, as loud as I could, and proving the man wrong, my dad turned around and saw me. When I got home I really wanted to go out. I called my friend Clare and we went to Blockbuster's and got "Definitely, Maybe" (after a disappointment in the midst of it, I ended up loving it in the end.) My mom called me and told me to get to Clare's house fast because the sirens were ringing in town. We got to the door of the Blockbuster and looked out. There were four people waiting there. It was pooring rain. Clare and I looked at each other. After about a minute of discussion among us and the rest of the Blockbuster customers, Clare unlocked the car and she and I ran out into buckets of rain beind dumped every .33874329847 seconds. We'd been outside all of thirty seconds and were completely soaked. Normally I love the rain, but this year it has been raining too much for my liking. Hmmph. Well, that was my day. It wasn't very interesting, and I can't keep any of my thoughts straight, but I thought I'd fill you in.
