I'm in Chicago again, for the 4th time already. Should be pretty familiar with the directions here but, once I got out of the Greyhound station, I lost my direction again. Darn it!!! According to the schedule, I should have left Des Moines by 8.30 am and reach Iowa City around 10.30 am. It didn't come out that way because something under the bus broke and the driver had to use duct tape to seal it temporarily. In the end, I was nearly two hours late from the actual schedule. Supposingly to have reach Chicago by 4.20 pm and ended up 7 pm to get my butt off the bus. Called my brother and he said he'll meet me at the Roosevelt station. I was expecting a hug from my lovely brother and I got nothing. Haha.

It's kind of sad for me to end up traveling with Greyhound. Want to know why? I thought I would be coming to Chicago by my newly met friends' car. On the 13th night, I called one of them and they told me that they had cancelled the plan to Chicago due to the freezing weather going to be in Chicago. (Actually it wasn't that bad here, at least it's warmer than Des Moines.) Frankly, I kind of pissed as they should have told me by the time they cancelled. I had to book my ticket at the last minute. Whatever...... at least I'll get the chance to study my FM exam, erm..... for the 2nd time. I failed on the 1st attempt and hopefully, I can pass it for 2nd attempt as they're adding syllabus next year. That suck!!!! Wish me luck, pal!!!
