system0 · Feb 4, 2003

hey peeps,

my big brother (hes three years older than me - pointless info i know

) has just finished his phd and has got a post doc position at Notre Dame university - South Bend which is an hour and a half from chigaco ive been told.

Think ill be heading over in august with a few of his mates.
I was hoping to see the chigaco bulls (my bros a bulls fan though im more of a celtics man) though its out of season.

I love baseball as well - im a mets fan though (bo sox are my other team - well i though i needed an american and national team!!)

but since ill be in chicago ill try and catch big sosa hitting a few - which will be sweet

never been to the US so im really excited about going - plus ill be staying at notre dame uni - the uni president bartlett went to (any west wing fans here

)

I grew up in Chicago - spend as much time there as you can. It's a great city - especially in the summer.

system0 · Feb 4, 2003

yeah - im really looking forward to it - the only reason i might not go in august is if i go backbacking which means id probably end up there the next year

ill more than likely go in august though

Aaah Chicago - my favorite USA city but never in the winter!

U of I here, but that was a few decades ago.

Notre Dame U? I think I heard of them once or twice

I went to Notre Dame, great place to be, especially if you like snow in August

Actually, its only about 45 minutes from Chicago to South Bend, as long as its not rush hour

Don't forget to bring a (swimming) jammers or trunks.
Back in 1991 I was main attraction on Michigan lake in my
Speedo racer.
But maybe the times have been changed again?

i always bring swimming trunks - i was a lifeguard for 4 years - my dad, 3 uncles, brother, me,4 cousins all worked at the swimming baths at one point.....so im a bit of a water baby

im swimming 3-4 times a week at an olympic sized pool just now - its class

thinking of going to michigan as well seeing as south bend is between there and chicago

Notre Dame? Nice. Wish I could of got in there.

Anyway enjoy your stay when you get to the US, as long as your not a terrorist.
*Gives suspicious eye*

lol
nah i aint no terrorist

though some times its hard to tell if its us (us and uk) or iraq etc are the terrorists

the line seems to be have blurred in recent years...but thats another discussion
