Reflection

Looking back, I am glad that I was able to find a happy medium between having fun in Chicago and being responsible with my work. Also, I am grateful that my apprenticeship is remote which allows me this degree of flexibilty where I can vacation while still being productive and making progress in my apprenticeship. To be honest, I am utterly spent and exhuasted from going hard with the sightseeing, eating mostly great food & getting my grind done with the gym & work.

Back to the Valley of the Sun

Let’s just say if Chicago was a girl and this trip is our first date…I would have already proposed to her by the end of the date. That about sums up my feelings towards Chicaago & my first impression of the city. Of course, like a lot of things in life, there are pros and cons to everything, so hopefullly during my next visit I will be able to see more of the cons, so I can have more holistic perspective on the city of Chicago and whether or not it might be a future place for me to live and work at… :wink:
