I know, I know. It's as if I had dropped off the face of the earth. These past few months have been quite a ride. Most it has been spent trying to figure out what the hell I'm doing with my life. The first month was spent trying to find a job, the second was working various temp jobs, all of which were pretty much terrible, and this past month I've been working as a paralegal for the legal assistance foundation downtown in Chicago. I found the job, of all places, on craig's list (just like my apartment). If only I could find a boyfriend on one.
It's only my third week there. I am liking it. It is definetly a challenge. So now that I have the job figured out, I just have to figure out what to do in my free time. I've of course spent most of it partying, drinking, etc....But I am craving other things and more social stimulation.
I am feeling lonely these days, in several ways. I am grateful for my roommates to be around in the evenings, but that isn't always enough. I want more good friends, interesting people to talk to. Things don't seem to be so meaningful lately.
If you saw in the news a gay protest downtown Chicago, I was there. I almost got run over by a horse. We shut down traffic. It was the most exciting thing that's happened to me since Obama won in Grant Park.
I miss Michigan a little.
