Dear Blogger,
Here's what I'm doing in the fall:
1. The Chicago Center. I'm going away from Albion for the fall to spend the fall semester within The Chicago Center, which is "the only nonprofit and independent experiential educational program for college students in the United States." Essentially, I live in an apartment in the city, and do an internship. (http://www.chicagocenter.org/)
2. Internship. I'm not entirely sure what I'll be doing. When I applied in the spring, I was still a Sociology/Psychology major, particularly interested in Child Psychology and I applied as such. Currently being a sociology major, I'll have to find something else.
3. Living. I'll be living in an apartment with a few other people. I have four good friends that are also going, and I'd like to live with them. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how the living arrangements work. (The woman from the program said she is sending out this information sometime later this week.) This is probably the most imposing part of the semester, right now.
4. Directed Study. Really, I'm pretty excited about this. I like learning on my own, with an instructor as a guideline. It has to be related to the major, so it shouldn't be a problem.
5. Being in the City. I think this speaks for itself: Chicago is apparently a big city, with a lot of things to do. As Keith, Kevin, Ani, and Ashly are all nearby, I probably won't be bored. Plus, Dan and David are both in Chicago. On top of the that: downtown Chicago, baseball games, The Navy Pier, plays, concerts, and eating dinner in restaurants. (Very exciting, eating out is.)
Right now, this is all I know about the program. Once I get more, I'll be posting more often.
Also, I'm hoping to get a new camera before I leave. I'll find a website for posting photos. Joe tells me Flickr is lovely.
Your Pal,
Steve
PS- My more astute readers might have noticed some changes, or some details that don't add up. (See if you can find them!) I made a few mistakes around here, and I tried to fix them and accidentally erased my last post. So I tried to recreate this post as best I could from memory.

Yay Stephen!
Sweet! Chicago is the home of Improv Olympic, the capitol of Improv comedy in America, so you should find it (it's a building) and see some shows. You'll definitely enjoy it.
I considered doing this exact same project, only with Spanish or history, or something. I hope it goes well.
