Jazz night

So, after living 1 year in Chicago I finally got a chance to go to jazz club. I know, I know what you would say, but I have plenty of excuses :)) No time, too much studying, no people to go with, so on and so force, if you REALLY want I can go on and on :)) So, this time things were different. This time I had plenty of free time, I had right people around me and we finally did it :)
So, we went to celebrate birthday of one of my new roommates. We chose Andy's Jazz, because of good comments on-line and particularly cause it is more like a bar/restaurant type, which has stage for performances and it is also quick old. It functions as a jazz club I think from 1950's or something like that.
I should also mention that personal in this place is really great, they were nice, hospitable and generally good. So, when we came that band was already performing, so we had to grasp the tune quite quickly :)) To say my impression in 3 words? It was great! I loved people. Band consisted of 3 people and they had such a synergy between each other! They were following variations started by other person in a second. After some time listening to them I felt like I'm back home, in Lviv, during Jazz festival that we have every year in Autumn. My mum and I really like to go there.
Music was surrounding us whole evening, whenever band was taking some time to relax, they were substituted by nice music selection made by hostess in that place.
Also, I should say that we had one of the best cocktails I tried so far :)

So, if you will ever have a chance to visit Chicago, you should go to Andy's Jazz and you will not be disappointed!

Stuff

So, here I am, done with 1st year of studying for Master's program in Medicinal Chemistry at UIC, Chicago, Illinois, USA. I'm still on probation level and still have to work my ass off to get out of it just because now I have permanent lab to work in.
In as week I will start new semester, new educational year. From one side I'm happy, because something new will happen with me, from another side I'm kind of scared that things will go wrong as they have tendency to do. But I have hope and it is the best motivational factor that I have so far.
My new roommates came and they are simply amazing, of course somehow special, but in their own manner. Every evening we have looooooong talks about everything in this world and it seems to be great to share sometimes similar, sometimes different opinions. It is already good, just because we have what to talk about, not like before, when awkward silence was our typical guest.
I'm still working in the lab, trying to pull all shit together and make my projects work and as I sad before some things just like to work in manner that is completely different to my plans.
I have a lot of thoughts whether I want to continue my education or I want to apply for jobs. Seems like I need some changes, I need some movement, so who knows, maybe I should start up-dating my CV ? :))
I started to feel more peaceful with myself. Maybe because I finally cut people that were like vampires in my life and now no one is sucking my energy. In general I feel more happy this days :) And I start to get used with US life. So, it is cool, right ? :)
This is probably all up-dates that I have so far :))
