It certainly has been a long time. I have more writing to post - a short story this time, about a young boy - though I will save that for another time. I feel it needs a bit of editing, though I wrote it for a final in one of the classes I took this semester. I’ve finally finished college and have graduated with my Bachelor of Arts in English and Gender Studies (minor and certification in nonprofit administration, thank you very much).

Now, it’s on to finding a job. I’ve been sans employment for going on three months now and it’s becoming very tedious. The problem with Kalamazoo is the inability to get a job when one lacks a vehicle. Apparently a place will only hire you if you have a car? This makes no sense, as public transportation is at least remotely reliable here (remotely being the key word) and I DO, indeed, have legs. I know those are almost entirely reliable.

So the countdown to my move to Chicago begins. And so does my job search in Chicago, my apartment search in Chicago (lakeview, andersonville, lincoln park?), and my friend search in Chicago. I would actually like to know more than the handfull of people I know now before I move in to the city, or else I may end up the sad-depressed-home-body I fear I’m turning into now.

I also have quite a few pictures of crafts made lately to post, as I’ve been stepping up the yarn production in my boredom induced melancholy, and hopefully I’ll either be able to sell it or stitch it into something nice.
