Hello all!
It is now the middle of November, and I've decided to update again.
I have all sorts of things on the horizon, job-wise, only a few of them are really desirable to me. I'm working pretty regularly at Cafe Mestizo, in the neighborhood, and that is a blast! Who knew? I would become a knowledgable barista! haha. It's a blast, it's a great environment, and there could be some pretty serious hours looking up soon. On the other hand, I haven't started the Macy's job yet, that starts this weekend, and will be a blast, I'm sure. I'll get to deal with "specialty jewelry" all day every day. Woo!! And I have to contact the woman at Fanny May on Wacker and Michigan about a job there. So, I have a pretty full schedule, but not something that I REALLY want to do as a serious career.
I also have put together a small list of things I want to do or have accomplished by the time I'm thirty, a little more than seven years from now. I'll share them here:
I want to have held a position in the same company for at least 5 years.
I want to be making at least $50,000 a year.
I want to have a serious relationship.
I want to have traveled to a foreign country that is not in North America.
I want to have gone on a cruise.
I want to have seriously considered marriage.
I want to have considered having children.
I want to have returned to school for a Masters in either Clinical Psychology or Public Administration.
I want to have lived in Chicago and at least one other large city outside of Kansas.
I feel like those are all reasonable, and I am beginning to work on realizing some of them. I'll be back soon for more news.

Updates
Wow, I forgot about this blog. How interesting that we can browse through thousands of blogs of people we don't know and subjects that previously didn't interest us.
Anyway, I guess it's been four years since I started my last blog, that one was trying to keep my high school buddies updated on my life at my small college. It's probably still out there somewhere, who knows? I suppose I've always found this a bit odd because I think one would have to have either something important to keep someone updated on - your life in a different country - or a rather large ego. It is interesting to hold this as a sort of journal, I think that's how I'll look at it.
I've been living in Chicago for five months, now, and am still working on finding a serious, full-time job that pays. I have had a lot of interesting opportunities, but none have panned out, yet. I'm doing an internship of sorts for a company called Duerst-Lahti, Global, we're involved in neutraceuticals and health remedies/supplements, and are developing many parts of the company from the ground up. It's a thrilling process to be involved with: I've learned an incredible amount about companies, exports, imports, health and natural products industries. It's exciting!
I also have a pretty good relationship developing with a company called Acquirent, an outsourced sales company. Unfortunately, I seem to not be the right candidate, yet. I'm keeping that iron on the stove, but have slowed the stoking of the fire. I'm hoping that my most recent endeavor goes well; it should resolve in the next couple of days, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I did see my future husband today! haha, no, he was just very attractive, and very much my type. It was amusing, considering I had very recently had a conversation about "my type" with Elena.
Anyway, I guess that's the shortest update I can give you as to my recent life.
