Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animals...And A Happy New Year!

Happy 2011 Everyone!  I know it's been almost 2 weeks since the new year but I haven't had time to blog at all!  I hope you all had a fabulous New Years and rang in 2011 in style!  I myself went to Schoolyard Tavern, a bar in downtown Chicago and had a great time!  It was also my sister's 27th birthday, so the fam. and I went downtown to her apartment and celebrated at a bar in Wrigleyville.  It is called Guthrie's and is super cute.  There's a whole bookshelf full of board games and everyone is at tables drinking and playing!  I also had my first taco pizza at Ian's, also in Wrigleyville.  This pizza place is definitely more of a "modern" place, as it serves pizza's such as macaroni and cheese, chicken and penne, pesto and tomato, and barbeque chicken.  My dad was not a fan, but I loveeeed the taco pizza.  I'm definitely paying for it now...Jillian Miachel's 30 day shred is whipping my butt!

On another note, I go back to school in less than a week!  It's officially my last semester of undergrad :(  I feel so incredibly old and it is definitely a bitter sweet feeling.  On one hand it is so awesome that I will officially have my bachelor's degree in psychology and be able to go out in the "real world" and start making some real money, but on the other hand I'm going to miss not having any responsibilities other than going to school.  I will still be a student as I am going to attend grad school, but It definitely will not be like undergrad where you can get away with not going to class when your too hungover, drinking multiple times throughout the week, eating ramen noodles to afford bar money, and basically binge drinking all weekend.  But I will get to live in the city, and am planning on living with my big seeester.  I cannot wait to live in the city...living at home when your a college student is kind of awkward.  You come home at all hours of the night after going out with your friends, you have to keep your room clean, you have to pretend like your not hungover.  Too many rules! 

Anyways, this weekend I was downtown and it was so much fun!  My friends and I took a party bus down from the suburbs to Lions Head with a bunch of people from my highschool.  I wore an Express dress, Nordstrom blazer, Francesca's necklace and Naughty Monkey ankle boots with tights of course. 

It was a lot of fun!  The bus then picks you up at bar close and drives you back to the suburbs, and it was only $20.00 a person.  I think it was called Windy City Shuttle but I could be mistaken.  The next night my friend Sara and I drove to our friend Ryane's apartment in the city.  Her building is right on State Street so it has a beautiful view of the city and probably the BEST deep dish pizza right next to her building.  It gives Lou Malnatti's a run for it's money!  We went to Dillinger's Bar and Grill, which Sara's Aunt co-owns and we definitely were all over served!  It was a fun night though and always have a good time going there!  Pictures to come :)

What did you all do this weekend?
