Narrative:

After landing at mdw, I called ground control for taxi clearance. Received no reply due to radio congestion. My captain made a second radio call to ground and still received no clearance, while I was on company frequency confirming gate assignment. By this time, we had already arrived at the gate due to its close proximity to the runway.
