On April 30th, I went to Chicago for my pre-employment physical at Children's Memorial. I really felt like a big girl driving to the train station, riding the metra and taking public transportation in Chicago ALL BY MYSELF! It wouldn't have been possible with my trusty iPhone! The iPhone has a maps application that provides public transportation directions based upon your current location. How awesome!!!

I made it to the Route 59 train station JUST in time to buy my ticket and get on the train. Once in Chicago, I took a bus to the Children's Memorial Occupational Health building. I was about an hour early, so I grabbed a delicious lunch and cup of joe at the Einstein's Bagel across the street. Once again, feeling like a big girl in the city.

After my physical, eye exam, drug test, TDap vaccine, and blood draw... I spontaneously met up with my friend who lives downtown. Hope and I met through Ross. She graduated last May from Bradley University's theatre department. She's currently living in Chicago, auditioning for shows, working as an actress and working as a nanny. She is an great actress with an amazing set of vocal cords. We met up after her call back that was only a couple of miles away from where I was. I walked (yes, WALKED!) the couple of miles over to her and we grabbed a cup of coffee and caught up.

Then, it was back to union station to catch an express ride home to Naperville. Phew! What a whirl wind day. Being downtown made me really want to live there... at least for a couple of years :)
