I'm back from Chicago now. It was pretty boring - not that many people I really like to talk to. The hotel was pretty nice and according to my parents, pretty cheap as well. It offered free high-speed Internet so I was online for a little while when we were just sitting in our room. It was REALLY slow in the morning, I don't even know how they can call it high-speed.

Today we went around Chicago looking for college stuff while my mom was with my Grandma at church. We ended up going to a bunch of stores: Office Max, Circuit City, and "The Container Store". I ended up getting a few things like a laundry bag at that store. We were mainly looking for the TI-89 Titanium edition calculator because Green Bay stores don't really have it out yet. It wasn't at any of the stores I listed but we ran into a Best Buy accidentally and went in and they had one of them left. The calculator is really weird compared to the TI-83+ though. When you turn it on it goes right to a menu instead of just a calculator prompt. You can change it, which I did, but it was very much different than the other calculators. I guess these calculators can do a lot more but I'm going to have to read the book on it.

Tomorrow we have to take the Pontiac to the dealership for a few things. We're leaving it there for an oil change, recall part, and a new muffler bracket. The muffler bracket just randomly decided to break so hopefully it will stay on until we get there. It has probably been like that for a while so I'm sure it will.
