Hello, everyone!~
Here’s part 2 of my Chicago trip: enter my two favorite
enginerds (they’re engineers, which makes them nerds, so that’s one of my
favorite words that my Freshman uni English instructor ever used, so I’m
keeping it): Brian (above picture) and Ricardo (below picture). For those who
don’t know, I had originally started in university as an Electrical and
Computer Engineering major and switched out at the end of my Sophomore year. I
only had a brief couple of hours with them on Friday (March 17th),
but it was great fun.
Laughs:
So in the spirit of someone who actually pays attention
to things her friends post on Facebook, I asked Ricardo (as he was driving us
through to go meet Brian) if he and Brian were dating anyone currently, having
noticed that they had quite a few girls in their pictures as of late.
His response: “No, but we’ve got money.”
I didn’t know whether to laugh because it was true or
because that’s the saddest thing I’ve ever heard.
Anyway, fast forward to arriving at Giordano’s for dinner
(that is good pizza, guys), the two guys were SO SWEET and treated me to dinner
(didn’t know they were planning on doing that, so I was pleasantly surprised).
Ricardo mentioned what I’d said in the car to Brian.
His response: “No, but I’ve got money. And
rock-climbing.”
Me: “Oh, well that’s lovely, isn’t it? You’ve got money
AND a hobby.”
Ricardo/Brian (I don’t actually remember who said what):
“Hey, we are SET on the money issue.”
Me: “Yes, let’s poke fun at the poorest one at the table
who’s still a student and basically unemployed.”
Ricardo/Brian: “Well, after a few more times of meeting
up over the next year, you’ll have money too.”
Ricardo/Brian: “You still
won’t have as much as us, but that’s all right.”
Jerks. I love them, but aren’t they just AWFUL? >:|
Sad but true statement though. :/
They took me around the downtown Chicago area, going
through Millennium Park, seeing the Bean (no, I did not take the tourist selfie
with the bean, so there), the new Riverwalk (which apparently was designed by
the company Brian works at) and though we couldn’t see it in the fading evening
light, apparently the river was green for St. Patrick’s Day (dyed by Brian’s
friend’s dad), and passing a bunch of shops and theatres.
All in all, I had fun. I’d missed my enginerds and it’s
so great to see them moving on with their careers, working for companies that
will hopefully result in a stable and enjoyable career path for many years to
come.
If you two are reading this, know that I’m so proud of
everything you’ve accomplished. :)
All right, that was kinda short and I could’ve probably
combined this into another post, but I didn’t really want to. These guys
deserve a post of their own :D Uni buddies forever! XD
