I am so happy!

  It was a good week, overall. Last Sunday I was having room service breakfast at the Palmer House in Chicago - that was wonderful. I actually took a picture of our cart! We went to the Art Museum, which is one of my favorite places. Later in the evening we went to IO improv and saw comedians/actors put their talents to the test. Then we went up to the 96th floor of John Hancock Center and had dinner and drinks. We could see all of Chicago. I tried to take pictures but they turned out blurry.

Wednesday I had lunch at Applewood Cafe, Mott Community College. http://www.mcc.edu/3_academics/divisions/bus_applewood.shtml I love that restaurant. It is run by the culinary arts department there. They basically serve gourmet meals for cheap because it is a teaching restaurant. It is overseen by a chef. The food is always good and very pretty (I have pics) haha. This Wednesday, for Black History Month, Kuungana performed. Kuungana is an African dance and drum troupe. It was wonderful to hear the drums (reminds me of Santana) and the dancers were awesome. I want to learn to dance like that. It would be good exercise. http://www.rhythmologist.com/

Thursday, Chuck and I had dinner with our son. We had a lot of fun. Our son also had a concert for band (he plays the trombone) that evening. It was nice. They have a competition coming up so this was like a dress rehearsal for all the kids.

Now the reason I am so happy this weekend. Saturday my professor (for the Engl class that I dislike) emailed me and told me what a good job I did on last weeks assigment. I emailed him back and thanked him for letting me know. I needed that! I am not getting bad grades on my assinments but this class is very difficult. It is a ton of writing. I think keeping a blog is helping me with my writing. Ideas flow more readily from my brain.
