January 6th, 2025: Today’s the 4th anniversary of Trump supporters storming the capital while the election certification process was ongoing. I woke up at 6:00am today in order to pack up quickly to go down to the Amtrak station, I had to wait in the bus stop (which was really not designed for cold weather) for the bus at 7:00am, I got down to the station at 7:35am and waited in line until 7:55am where we got to board the train. It was really nice on there and it only costed me $44 dollars for a round trip, the train then left at 8:05am, we eventually made it to the first stop in a short moment at the airport, I even saw a guy rushing to get on the train but it left before he could even get on, we then got to our next stop and in between the second and third stop I realized that I could have gotten a free ride via Amtrak if I am sneaky enough. At 9:35am I finally arrived in Chicago and I texted my grandma, who I will be calling Jane, and my dad that I was here. I then walked east to get to my Red Line stop. I went down to the Jackson Red Line stop, bought the card to use the turnstiles to get in, and then I got on the train because it was there immediately. On the train there was this Hispanic guy listening to TikToks at full volume for everybody to hear, I got tired of it and even thought of telling him to use his headphones that he was wearing when either of us got off, and if he attacked me I did have a knife.
However, we both got off at the same stop so I didn’t feel safe calling him out. I then walked to my grandma’s apartment and she greeted me while I got settled in. I got my Christmas gifts from my grandma which included an Apple AirTag, a book called The Woman Behind The New Deal, and a silver chain watch that made me look more Italian.
After that I tried to play with my grandma’s cat but she was not receptive to anything I did. Jane showed me her photo albums where I saw my dad, my great-grandpa, my dad’s friend Steinbrenner, and his then-girlfriend Julie. I watched the first episode of the second season of Squid Game. Eventually we went to pick up my cousin who I will be calling Jared, he’s pretty smart and his grandpa was in the Chicago Police Department so he got a good scholarship from that. He nearly picked up his friend’s keys and after that we drove to this sushi place to meet up with his mom/my aunt and one of his two older sisters, who I will be calling Thing Beta. Thing Beta gave me my Christmas gift of a $20 Steam gift card while we talked about how hard it is to get a job here. We had a good time at the place and I got to eat the ginger that others had, Thing Alpha wasn’t there because she was in New York City, my aunt made a joke about how me and Jared are both growing boys because we ate the most food out of the five of us. After dinner we head to this ice cream place and my aunt remarks about how the candy cigarettes they sold are the reason why she got addicted to cigarettes in the first place. After that me and my grandma drive to the grocery store to get some milk. I have to wait in a long ass line to get it but we get back home after that and I take a shower and then go to sleep.
