It's just Lake Michigan - the Chicago side.But it's just beautiful.
On cold days, warm days, stormy days, windy days, calm days, whatever. And it's completely unpredictable -- despite a sharp cold outside and a mild breeze the lake was calm and blue today. And there are sunny days when the lake looks mad as hell.
There are plenty of things I love about Loyola. Particularly that I'll be a nurse in a year, that I can get there by train or bus or foot or bike, and that it's a terrific school. But sitting in the library to study with Lake Michigan right out the walls of windows? It's just wonderful.
Thankfully living in Chicago means we've got lake paths to bike or walk down, Lake Shore Drive for the best drive ever, and plenty of fun to have along the shores of Lake Michigan.
I stopped by Loyola today and it's desolate there since hardly anyone is in class right now. The library was nearly silent and the lake reminded me that I can't wait to get back to classes. Even if it's just for the breaks when I can find a good seat and stare.

I could stare at the lake for several hours myself. It's one of my favorite things about living in this area. I've always found the Great Lakes moving.
