My time in the Chi for law school pt xiv

Wait, we were supposed to wear the home uniform? So back in Chicago after a 3 week stint at home. Weird thinking that I'm only gonna be here for a little bit longer, but so it goes. But yeah, went out for a few drinks last night. Quite the contrast when juxtaposed with going out in CO. There's been this weird flip, in the sense of when I was back home I saw things from a Chicago perspective when it came to people out at the bars. People out West seemed to be more playful (shit, I'm sorta playful myself), but acting that way could get you a punch in the teeth in Chicago. Just sorta funny, noticing that after a couple years, there's a bit of a Midwest tint to me these days. Last night was amusing though. I wore the wrong uniform out to the bars, as I was wearing a zip-up hoodie with my skate shoes; the traditional western state look. I forgot that out here, instead of wearing something with a hood and shoes you can ollie in, you have to wear something with buttons and shoes you can see your reflection in. There are things about Chicago that I'll miss, but I definitely won't miss the jersey. P.S. Another thing that was reaffirmed: I like my girls to dress creative-sassy, not stuck-up-bitchy.
