1) Get hooked up with a transit pass. This is goodness all round.
2) Move into a cute (though cold) little place in Wicker Park (it's got it going on).
3) Join the local gym. They have free apples.
4) Go to work and try to get the paperwork going. Cook County is traumalicious.
5) Check out the spoken word awesomeness (themed around the MOON!!) at the theater at the end of the street!!
6) Go to the Art Institute of Chicago, 'cause it's free on Thursdays.
7) Have your dear, dear, dear friend come visit you from Indianapolis, and drink a lot of cheap Aussie wine.
8) Go see a play -- it'll be fantastic.
9) Continue, again and again, to be amazed at how nice, helpful, interactive these midwesterners in the US's third biggest city are!
10) Find that working in a large "charity" hospital makes you feel prouder than ever to be a Canadian (social healthcare, more equitable distribution of wealth and opportunities).
