Le Grand Tour Part II

Lobby.  Pretty water fall thing.  There is a 24-hour front desk person, so the building is really safe.  I felt weird taking a picture of the front desk person, so I didn't.  But basically, the entrance is a revolving door, once you walk in, you see the front desk person on the right, the leasing office on the left.  Then the cool waterfall thing, mail room on the right, entrance to parking on the left.  Then the auto glass double door, and then 5 elevators taking you up. 

This is the view from my apartment.  I get a partial view of the lake, the big building in the way is the Playboy Headquarters, in case you are wondering. 

View from the roof top sun deck.  On the right is Navy Pier, and on the right, Millennium Park.  As you can see I'm very close to the beach.  This is the East-facing view.

Sun deck, north view. 

Sun deck, west view.  The tall building with the two antennas is the John Hancock Building. 

Sun deck, South West view.

Sun deck, South East View.  Again, on the bottom left corner is Navy Pier. 

Though I tried, I didn't get much accomplished today.   I went into an "authorized dealer" to transfer my city electrical account, but I need to wait a few days to find out if it worked.  Apparently the "authorized dealer" can only input the information, and it is now up to the city electrical company to sort things out, and I find out later if it all went through.  *shrugs*  I guess I did what I could, and if there's a problem I'll just have to deal with it later.  I rented a zipcar and drove out to Evanston for my student card only to find out that my information isn't uploaded in the system yet, so they cannot give me a card.  That's the bad news, and the good news is that I DON'T have to drive half an hour to Evanston to get my student card like the website says, I can actually get it done on the Chicago campus!  I still don't have a cell phone number, because the deal I want is only online and the online system won't let me use my credit card (because the zip codes don't match).  Round 2 tomorrow, hopefully it'll work then.  I wanted to schedule my TB test appointment, but my school health insurance doesn't kick in until after classes start, which means I can't get my immunization test done until after that.  Although while holding on the phone with the health clinic, I discovered something cool.  The call-waiting music that the hospital/health clinic uses is the EXACT same one as the Vancouver Fire Department's.  If you've ever heard the Vancouver Fire Department call-waiting music, you'll know it is AWESOME.  Very dramatic music, I wonder where they get these music!  Reminded me of home.  So yeah, today was basically a lot of running around, but not a lot of things actually getting "done".  Oh well, I guess we all have days like today.  I think tomorrow I'm going to try to sort out my cell phone situation once and for all, and maybe find out what's happening in the city or maybe relax a bit on the sun deck with a book.  :)  Brodie gets here in 3 days.  I'm excited!
