It's kind of weird that we're doing more site-seeing than we are actually working with students but maybe the students will be taking us around to the sites and it will give us a chance to teach them colloquial English.
Sep and I leave for Chicago Friday morning. We're hanging out in the city, visiting some sites and possibly attending a concert with one of my friends. Then, we're heading to the airport EARLY Saturday morning for my flight at 9:00. I will try to update again between now and then, otherwise there will be more to come from my 12-hour layover at LAX! (Perhaps a picture of a movie star or two.)
Love,
Morgan
