So. Much. Snow.

I sometimes wonder on really cold days why I did not go south for college.  I mean with temperatures below zero some days, the snow, and the WIND.  I know it is the windy city, but the cold wind can be brutal some days.  It often looks like I’m crying because my eyes water from the wind. 

I always love getting on Facebook or Twitter when there has been a lot of snow where my friends are and seeing that they have a delay or they are off.  Unfortunately, Loyola has closed school only once during the normal school year in the past 30 years.  There was one morning when it was close to -35º with wind chill.  I was freezing.  There was also one Monday afternoon where we received a few inches within a few hours.  It was ridiculous but sometimes fun!

I do love Chicago though! There is so much to do and so many great opportunities.  I am just looking forward to the warmer temperatures.  Loyola has two breaks in the Spring Semester: a Spring Break (or a 2^nd winter break because of the cold temperatures) and an Easter Break because it is a Jesuit university. 

My family is coming up to Chicago for my Easter Break so I can’t wait to go to some of the places I just haven’t had time for yet!  We will definitely be trying many different restaurants and MANY bakeries.  I think we will be eating mostly sweets that weekend. :)

Any good bakeries or favorite places you like to visit in Chicago?
