Well, I haven't updated for a bit, so I might as well start now.

About my trip, I have to admit that I really enjoyed my trip to Chicago a lot. The hotel wasn't perfect, and neither was the location. The conference was awesome and I managed to get in without a pass. (My dad made up an excuse) There was one time where I had to stay in Chicago by myself because my dad had to go to St Louis to visit a medical drug factory. But, he asked his colleagues to look after me for a few hours till he got back.

However, there were some flaws during the trip:

Firstly, on the way to Heathrow airport, the driver accidently shut the doors on me on the Victoria Line so I had to quickly push them back open and I almost broke my arm doing so, and caused a little delay. Secondly, my baggage took ages to arrive at the other end. Thirdly, the hotel wasn't near LaSalle subway station, it was near Clinton subway station. (The hotel receptionist told us that when we got in.) Fourthly, my CTA transit card didn't last for 7 days, it only gave me $20 worth of rides. Finally, my dad had a little arguement with the security people at O'Hare airport. (They weren't being specific anyway.) I'm not saying I hate Americans, I know that they're nice people, but they could at least explain things properly.

Also, I just started my work placement a week ago. I'm doing some voluntary work at a scope shop in Camden. (I'm assuming that you, , are happy about this) Okay, I admit it sounds boring, but at least I'm happy with it and that's all that matters really.
