things stuff and blah blah blah

well my time in chicago though only brief over all has been pretty cool. Its really neat to see how helpful people are when you pull out a map or just look completely lost. the little kids are so funny here. On the trains the just run up and down the train laughing hysteriactly. No matter their cituation they seem to almost always to have fun. 

Though this isnt all fun and games. sometimes it is hard to get along with everyone but i very much count this whole thing as a growing experiance i was in desperate need of.  Its actually really cool just to see how everyone comes together like trying to put a hard puzzle together. We may not finish it before we all leave but we can put our own parts together by the time we get back. This will be something we carry with us always.

Also its amazing how fast food dissapears in a house of 16 people.

livin in the city

well i have found out definitely that i am a farm boy by far. the city seems rather abrasive. though i highly enjoyed going to a pre school that the kids spoke both english and spanish. i have always enjoyed watching kids they are so funny! we played duck duck goose and even the shy kids would break out into laughter when the teachers could not catch them. other than that i find it rather hard to enjoy the city. its weird not to have a car either but its alot of fun to hang out with my group i live with they are all very unique. The canadians i seem to talk to the most because we just go back and forth on what differences in culture we have that are small but still are big enough to shock both of us. 

i have realized that i am not the greatest writer but i will keep everyone posted. -Samuel
