Hectic City Life- finding Peace in the small things

Its very normal that things don't go as planned.
My car has been broken into twice, cell died, and computer crashed.
The good news is I have an amazing community, friends, and family so things are slowly piecing back together.
I am so happy to announce that from next Wed-Sunday I have off! No school or work. Just cooking, relaxing, and enjoying to company of people I love. I will probably s till be taking photographs though, that's always the norm.
This past weekend I actually went to Texas to visit my older sister, Courtney, who just moved there in September. We were in San Antonio and my mom and her ran the half marathon! So proud of them. My little sister, Aubrey, & I just were there to cheer, really fun actually. As always I was glad to come back to Chicago even though so much awaited me to be taken care of. School is coming down to the wire, only a few weeks left in the semester and yesterday I registered for my last semester of college. Weird.
Also- applied for a photo archives internship @ the MCA here in Chicago. Really hoping they call me for an interview.

The best thing about my day so far was going to the Lincoln Park Conservatory- the orchid room there is so incredibly beautiful. Such a lovely escape from the cold city.
