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 18 - Seven Ten Lanes
If anyone comes to visit me, we will take a stroll down to the Seven Ten Lanes bowling alley/bar/restaurant and game room. There is something for everyone. Lauren, Ola and I went down there tonight. We played two games, I came in third on both. We had two rounds of drinks. Then walked ourselves on home. I felt like my buzz was wasted, no one to flirt or dance with. That's alright, soon enough I'll find some fun single girls to go out with. I spent the day reading my book, watching Forrest Gump and cleaning the kitchen. I did go out for a few hours, searching for work clothes. I found a Burlington Coat Factory and a Marshall's close to my place, so my goal was achieved.
