I opened the window in the kitchen this morning and the fresh breeze blew into the apartment. It felt like morning in Nairobi, Kenya. It is sunny and bright here in Chicago, Condoleezza Rice is testifying on TV at the 9/11 commission, I stay through her opening statement and the first question from the panel but I have to leave to go to class.

The #3 bus from the South Side to the downtown area takes ages to come and when it does come, about three of them come at the same time. If only they could space them apart properly, then I wouldn't have to freeze my buns off. Despite the sunny day, it is chilly windy!!! I am not in a hurry anyway, I have my property class in about an hour and the trip to school takes about 40 mins.

Usually, I stop by starbucks in the morning for my usual cup of Caramel Mochiatto but I think this morning will be an exception, I need some water in my system today. I keep drinking coffee all day long and while that can keep you wired, I dont think it is something you want to drink on a daily basis, multiple times a day!!! Then again, I wonder whether that is contributing to my back pain. Anyway, let me glance at my notes for a but before class starts in about 20mins. It is about 10am now. Later alligator...
