Leaving Chicago:

So it's final and decided. I'm leaving Chicago next Tuesday, in one week and two days. Of course, there are 8 million things to do. Sell all my furniture, pack up everything, mail boxes home that need to go home, clean, finish stuff at work.

But I'd rather think about the fun stuff. What do I need to do before I leave? Definitely an afternoon at the Point (probably today), tea at the Pig, some time downtown. But what else? I doubt I'll make it back out on the lake again, since this weekend is over and I don't think I'll have time next weekend, so that sucks.

So here is my current schedule:

Today: Out to the Point to read. Run.
Monday: Work. Run. Pack.
Tuesday: Work. Drinks with E--. Pub trivia.
Wednesday: Work. Run. Pack (?).
Tursday: Work. Practice.
Friday: Work. Maybe see D--?
Saturday: Go downtown. Get tea. Maybe dinner with Susan? Or maybe switch with another night?
Sunday: Pack. Hopefully do some sort of outside thing.
Monday: Pack like crazy. Mail boxes. Pick up my mom from the airport and show her my apartment. Dinner in the HP.
Tuesday: Leave very early in the morning.

So I have some time Sunday, maybe Friday and/or Saturday nights. I want to jam in as much of the city as I can. It doesn't feel real that I'm leaving this place that I love, that I'm leaving almost all my friends (though admittedly many of them are leaving too), to go live in the suburbs and hang around with mathematicians. Hmm. Sometimes I wonder if I'm crazy.
