Our little trip to Chicago (80/90)

The trip to Chicago wasn't all that bad. It was full of hilarity with my friends Lou and Sam. The train ride was kind of long though. Good thing we had some distractions on the way to and from Chicago. On the way to Chicago, we met these homeless guys who wish to remain anonymous XD. On the way back, we each read some novels that we had bought in Chicago.

Once the train arrived in Chicago, we purposefully got separated from the homeless guys. Not that we didn't think they were annoying guys. It's just that we didn't want the attention they were giving us on the train throughout our "Chicago experience." Actually, they turned out to be really cool. On the train, one of them showed us his tobacco bag and the other one talked about 4chan. They also told us they made their living travelling from place to place and (I guess) trading goods with hippies. Heh, so after we got separated from them, we tried to go to our destination which was.... we didn't know yet. We spent a good half hour  walking around aimlessly until we decided that it was time to eat. We stopped by this Mexican Grill called Chipotle which served generic Mexican food like tacos, burritos, and salads. After eating we err I decided that we should go to American Apparel. Too bad we didn't know where it was. 

Doh. I guess we should have looked up the location because we never ended up finding one. Oh well, at least we managed to hit up a Borders in which we spent a large amount of time looking at books and yes, we bought some. I bought A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess and The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards. Two good books, I hope. It's always a mystery when it comes to books.

We ended up going to H&M instead of American Apparel because Sam thought it was a good idea. Heck, I was kind of surprised. Seriously. I did not expect a clothing store to have such low prices. Most clothing stores, in my opinion, are way overpriced and the quality of the material isn't usually very good. But at H&M, I was able to find some stuff I found appealing and I look forward to wearing the clothes I bought there, especially that sweater which turned out to be a perfect fit.

After clothes shopping, we headed back to the Lasalle train station so that we could go back to New Lenox. To our disappointment, we got lost on the way back (insert fail noise). We may have spent a good half hour finding our way back, but at least we got there just in time for the train to depart from Chicago.

For some reason, on the way back from Chicago, I started getting a headache. I don't know why, maybe it was just a long day for me. I started getting depressed for whatever reason. I kind of felt like I was demoralizing the group after that, but maybe they didn't notice.
