I Play My Music in the Sun

So this is what four weeks of my life looks like.

It's two hours before I need to be at O'Hare, and I'm still trying to figure out how I can zip up this suitcase. Four pairs of shoes isn't helping much. But I need them.

I'm also listening to our compilation of Chicago artists and music that we're bringing as a gift for our host families. What do you think of our mix? Did we leave anything off?
