The Cold Coast

Regardless of my abysmal financial situation, I have been blessed with the most amazing grandparents who are letting me stay in a wonderful condo on the Gold Coast of Chicago whilst they spend their days in the suburbs of Indiana. After a strange week of weather we are back to normal…below freezing. So after waking I bundled up, grabbed all my school stuff, and headed out into the arctic.

Not a bad view, eh? My window faces the lake so I wake up with the sun every morning. This neighborhood is absolutely gorgeous and rich with history and beautiful architechture. Image

As for me, my day will be spent in an equally beautiful (at least to me) place….

I am taking an online Psychology course which is turning out to be particularly daunting so the caffiene and the free wifi is keeping me on track. That and my favorite study music; Explosions in the Sky….

I feel very accomplished having made it through this monster of a week, but one thing is for certain, I will be one busy bunny from now until graduation!

Back to work I go…Signing off, Grace is Cold 😉

Book Nerd

I have always been known as the speed reader in my family as I can blow through books like most people can blow through kleenex. I like to set a goal for myself every couple weeks of books I’d like to finish. For the next couple weeks my stack looks like this…

American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis (Which I’ve already read but needed to revisit)

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

A Visit From The Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan

Island by Aldous Huxley

I love writing reviews and will be posting my thoughts as soon as I finish each one 🙂 Reading is like watching TV for me…I am a total loser.
