Lesson #1: Plan Ahead

My friend Sarah came up from Indy to visit this weekend, so I thought it would be the perfect time to begin my challenge. We could experience Chicago together. As I began to research things going on around the city, there were so many options to choose from. I'm not much of a planner, and like to be super spontaneous- especially when it comes to entertaining myself. This proved to be a problem this weekend. By the time we decided what we were going to do, and went online to purchase tickets, everything we wanted to do was sold out!

My 52 week challenge to uncover Chicago

I've now been settled into Chicago for about 10 weeks. I got a job (yay!), and am finally getting into the swing of using public transportation. That's something us Hoosiers aren't used to. My car literally has cobwebs forming on the mirrors, but I love not having to drive anywhere. Speaking of driving, what's with the Chicagoans and their obsession with the car horn?

So now that I'm officially living here, it's time to start getting the most out of living in such an amazing city. I was inspired by a session I attended as part of Social Media Week Chicago, and so now I start my 52 Week Challenge.
