So I have moved to Chicago… ahh it’s soo beautiful! Love everything about it. Whether I’m going to see the Bean or just discovering new shops on the Magnificent Mile, it is all just wonderful. Finally got a job although it isn’t my professional dream, it pays the bills. Sullivan’s Steakhouse is the name and it is quite hoity toity, always needing to remember serve from left pick up from the right and stuff like that. I am happy with this job for now because the guests that we serve are predominately business men, and I’m hoping to make contacts, but who knows, gotta stay chasing the dream! As I was speaking with my friend Foos today I noticed he kept calling me an idealist. Okay so maybe I think Michael Jackson is innocent of these molestation charges and maybe I think OJ did it, but I’m happy they said he was innocent, but I don’t think my thoughts are too crazy. I will not stop until I get my dream job and I feel everyone shouldn’t stop until they are doing what they absolutely love everyday. I will waitress for now to pay the bills, but I will not be a professional waitress because I know that there is more for me. I moved to Chicago so that I will be closer to the dream of working in broadcast. I would love to work for Harpo, that’s my number one, but Tribune, NBC, ABC, CBS are close seconds. I know that one day I will make it there, and it’s not a matter of “being lucky”, it’s a matter of wanting it and I want it BAD! I’m thinking it might be a good idea to start in print before moving to television because getting started somewhere is the key, so I’ve been applying at different publishing companies and hopefully I will get my start there. I had an interview yesterday with a company called BG&H Publishing and fingers crossed, I get the job there doing editorial research. From there maybe Johnson Publishing company will finally want me and I can say I work for Ebony or Jet (ahhh would be amazing). Then from there you work your way up and boom television. In my eyes this is how it works, but who knows it’s possible I might just love print and want to stay there. All I know is there are major changes happening and I am excited about everything that is happening. I will remain positive until my dying day and I am lucky to say that if I died today I would not regret anything and I am happy!
