The trip
to Chicago was quite disappointed. Everything is good in Chicago city except
the never-ending cold wind and the traffic control due to the gun fight and car
chasing. The problems were from me and my colleagues. I had no opinion about
the schedule, and one of the colleagues had too many opinions. It was supposed
to have an easy trip when someone else made the schedules. However, it was not
easy if the schedules totally centered on the maker. For example, in an outlet
I would get phone calls to ask me back as I was in a different store. I didn’t
know visiting what stores were written in the schedules. This trip reconfirmed
my viewpoint, to know a person travelling with him/her is a shortcut. This is
also a good way to filter a potential partner. Now they know I am like a lonely
wolf in the wild, and I know I won’t share a trip with someone in this group
again. Before the trip ended, I had been imagining the trip to Raleigh this
summer. No matter I am alone or accompanying with someone, the latter one must
be much interesting.
The last
morning in Chicago, I received a facebook message from my brother who said
Grandma had passed away. WTF! I just saw her in the new year. She was not
energetic but seemed alright. I had disappointed her for a long time. She
wanted grand-grandchildren but I kept single and went to the US for six years.
Chicago would be an excellent city if it were not so windy and has lower murder rates
I miss these food. They are a part of the US culture.
The flight
from Chicago to Beijing was crowded. A guy on my right-hand side stretched his
left elbow too far and touched my arm. I tried to ignore him by listening to
some music and thinking something. A song called Arthur’s theme caught my ears.
Then I calculated how little choices I had, no control over the seat on the airplane,
my schedule in this trip and the place where I work. What the lyrics suggested
is the best I can do?
