Thanksgiving/Powerpoint

I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!
I definitely had an awesome week taking a little break and being able to spend time with friends and family.  Also, it was my birthday on monday, so I was able to celebrate it at home with my friends there which was awesome.  I also went to visit the Pullman neighborhood in Chicago on Friday.  The south side of the city is a completely different place compared to the north side.  The area around Pullman is not very built up, and there are a lot of run down buildings.  However, nowadays as you go more and more south in the city there are a lot more up and coming businesses and residential areas.  It was so neat to go to Pullman.  I have been reading about the area and the people who lived there so much, that it was an even more awesome experience to go where they lived.  My mom and I drove around for awhile to look at the buildings at houses.  It gave me more of an appreciation for what I am writing about, and helped me maybe understand more the lives of the people who worked and lived in Pullman.  It was cool because I knew exactly what buildings were what and where we were because i have been looking at maps, and by the descriptions i have read in books.  All the houses are very close together.  considering how many people lived there, and the amount of land Pullman had set aside, it was pretty amazing to me how close everything was.  At first, we seemed to be in the "nice" area of Pullman, probably where his upper level employees lived, but as we moved more to the south end of the neighborhood, the houses got smaller, closer together, and less elaborate.  these houses were also the furthest from where all of the main happenings in the town took place.  you could definitely tell where the social class difference happened.  unfortunately, the museum was not open, but i have been emailing someone who works there to get as much info as i can.
My powerpoint is just about done, but i am still nervous about it.  i hope it is what Micalee wants.  I normally am totally fine talking in front of groups, and i feel prepared, so i do not know why i am so nervous about this.  my powerpoint is pretty much a brief history of Chicago, then talking about the community and the people, and some art and music about Pullman.  does that seem okay?  any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!
