On May 16,2011, one year after I had earned my MLS, I came to realize that I was spinning my wheels in Phoenix, with limited opportunities to grow and achieve my full potential. I have always enjoyed my time in Chicago, and it is an obvious magnet for people with an interest in working in libraries, museums and archives. I decided to make the move in July, before my 26th birthday.

Day 1 - Fireflies
In the morning, I took Tariequa and Tenaysia to the UIC-Halsted train stop so that they could take the train to O'Hare. I was very sad to watch them leave, because I am officially on my own. Tariequa said it best, "its time to do what you came to do". I got turned around on the freeeway but thanks to Sir Wellington (my iPhone) I made it back to my apartment. Today was for relaxation. After watching movies, napping and playing on the computer, I took Simba (the roomate's dog) out for a walk. The neighborhood park was full of kids, other people were walking their dogs, and the fireflies were lighting up the sky. I can't believe that last week I was living in a studio and now I am roaming around the most historic neighborhood in Chicago.
