Happy birthday to my dear friend!
For her birthday, a bunch of us went to brunch at LOKal Restaurant in Wicker Park. I may sound like an alcoholic, but starting off the day with bottomless mimosas felt like a luxury. Maybe because the only times I’ve started drinking that early were for bridal showers or while I was in Vegas… But I digress. For food, I ordered pork belly and eggs, which consists of poached eggs, apple cider gastrique, and roasted potatoes. Yum! But the real treat was being out on the town with a group of girls that I don’t see enough outside of the academic setting. The sun was shining, we were all talking about non-school-related things, and we were just enjoying each other’s company. We even went shopping and I felt like I was a real human being instead of a robot in school. Oh, you know, just partaking in the wonderful frivolities of human life. Although I believe in what I’m studying and know that it’s important, it was great to take a break and enjoy the world outside, especially in such a great city.
