Something eventful happened in Northbrook today. When I left the house around 4, I saw loads of police/fire squad cars, military vehicles, and news trucks near a major intersection a block away from my house. Read the article for more information.

I came across a knitting-circle-of-sorts at Starbucks tonight. There must have been 35 women, all making blankets that were going to be donated.

Happy 2nd night of Hannukah!

Today, my mom, Allie, and I went into the city. We had lunch at The Walnut Room, a famous Chicago restaurant that is in the middle of the State St. Macy’s (originally Marshall Field’s). None of us had ever been to The Walnut Room and we had a great time. This is where the famous Christmas tree is on display. It was gorgeous!!

I received a Christmas card in the mail today from my friend Leah and her husband Nathan. I went to their wedding with my best friend Aaron. I was so excited to get such a lovely card in the mail; what a nice way to brighten Finals Week!

Tonight was MIDNIGHT BREAKFAST (which occurred at 10PM) at the Chabad on campus. It’s an event where there is lots of breakfast-y food (lox, bagels, pancakes, etc) as well as Hannukah favorites (latkes, jelly-filled donuts). I got this SUPER AWESOME Hannukah menorah, which I affectionately refer to as my Advent Calendar. For each night of Hannukah, you pop up the candle, and there is a piece of Hannukah chocolate gelt (a chocolate coin) under each candle!!!!
