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 12 - Arlene and Barbara
Today I volunteered to work the membership table at the DuSable's Movies in the Park program. They were screening Coming to America, that'd be 8 dollars :)Arlene is the volunteer coordinator, she explained everything and invited me to her church. Barbara is a docent, we were working the table together. Barbara's daughter lives in Scottsdale, AZ. Barbara was dressed up for the free "War" concert and she told me about the stepper's set in the neighborhood. I liked Barbara, I just stopped short of getting her number so that I could join her for the next concert. Hopefully I'll see her again and we can kick it. Lauren and Rachna were determined to celebrate part 2 of my birthday, so we picked up Ola and had sushi in Boystown. The northside is so different from the south. The traffic congestion and the demographics are just the start. We stayed there for hours discussing attitudes about homosexuality and hypothetical relationship debacles. Lauren had to take me to pick up my car because I had to park 3 blocks away, I hope that it isn't like this all the time when school is in session.

Its Unknown...aka Reeka. You've done more in 12 days than I've done all year. Sounds like all is going well :)
Didn't we establish that you and Loren have siphoned off all of the ambition from our generation. You do it all, I am just a cricket in your shadow!
Cricket my a**
