After a busy, crazy summer, it finishes off even crazier and busier. Part of that is due to our recent big decision: moving to IL. I'm still in a little bit of shock, but it is exciting to say the least. We're moving in part because I was accepted to DePaul University as a visiting student.
A visiting student is someone who studies at that law school for the semester (or year, in my case), and still receives her diploma from her "home" school. I chose DePaul because it is more widely known and they also have a highly ranked intellectual property law program.
What else is great about IL is that it's a big metropolitan area, which means more job opportunities for both Dan and I.
Right now we're working on getting an apartment in Winnetka, a 1 bedroom located downtown above some shops. Totally cute and within walking distance from the Lake and Metra (the commuter train). A fun fact is that Winnetka is where the "Home Alone" house is. I'll try to get a picture. We should know in the next few days if we get the apartment, so please keep your fingers crossed.
That's about it for now. I'm currently in Las Vegas trying to finish up a big paper, then we'll be driving to Phoenix to grab some stuff, then off to Chicago. Not really looking forward to that drive, but it'll be satisfying when it's over, right?
UPDATE: Just found out we got the apartment! Whoo hoooo and a big PHEW. Going to IL homeless would NOT have been fun.
