I'm driving. But I don't kno if it will be by myself or w/ my parents they haven't said. Chicago is about 4hrs away for me. Although have you seen gas prices rising? I don't want to use my gas(lol), so I think I'll have my parents come with.

Everytime I drive by a gas station I want to cry!! I get paid every two weeks and 1/4 of my paycheck usually goes for the gas I use. And I only drive to school and work, usually. It sucks.

hey guys! i'm vivian. live in chicago suburbia! welcome to the windy city. email me: v18yng@aol.com. we're going to have so much fun!

OMG!! We've filled out a page and started on a new page! Thats awesome maybe we w/l all know eachother before we go. Just Kidding!!! Only 2 months from TODAY till we go. Hope everyone is having a great spring!!

How many of us are there going to Chicago now? I don't have time to count, I'm late for school!

Wait...I think we've got 12 so far :-)

Yay.

What time is everyone getting there like closer to the beginning time or closer to the ending time? I just can't decide when to arrive!

For arriving times...my flight arrives in Chicago about 1:10pm...I have no clue how long it will take to get to the forum, if you consider getting luggage...and meeting with the forum people...I'll proably arrive at the forum at like 3ish, hopefully earlier. So I'll be there right in the middle, I guess.

Hey everyone! I'm Marie from Appleton WI. I am pumped to be going to Chicago - we are going to have a blast, I can't wait to meet everyone! send me an e-mail at hoffman327@yahoo.com

I have no idea what time I'm getting there...actually, my parents haven't even told me if I'm driving or flying yet. It's really annoying. I know that we're all busy, but I wish we could just take a little time one weekend and sit down and talk about this. If I'm flying, we're probably going to want to buy my ticket soon. And we need to get the travel form back to them and check on all my immunizations and stuff.

I forget...what is the earliest time you can check in?

less than 2 months!

Lmao...random dancing guy!!

LOL....I kno...thought he was funny....just had to put him up

Hey Everyone!

Are there any cross country runners who are going keep training while we are in Chicago? I'm looking for someone to run with in the mornings.

Email me @ hoffman327@yahoo.com

One month exactly until NYLF!

I can't wait to see you all in Chicago.

Have people started getting ready yet? I don't have anything yet, I'll have to go shopping (yay!) sometime. I'm so busy now with finals and all, but summer starts June 1st for me, and then I'll start getting ready.

I've done all my shopping, I just need to get it organized so packing won't be stressful.

You guys are going to have to remind me to wear sunscreen on the weekend when we're out around Chicago, though, because I always burn. Got the first sunburn of the season today :-) We were outside for one hour during one of my classes. It sucks.

Good luck with your shopping/organizing/packing, guys!

What are you all taking for casual clothes? How casual are we talking about?

A LITTLE OVER 3 WEEKS!!!!!

Casual is just that. Jeans, shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, whatever. Just look appropriate. No holes. Not showing anything that shouldn't be shown. You can wear flip flops, sneakers, whatever for shoes during casual

I was just wondering if ne1 was going to being an iron.....Cause i know that i will be needing one, and i don't think that the dorms will have them? ....These smilies are too much fun!
