the time has come!

i have a job! What a relief! Not only for me, but for my family who has been keeping me a float through all of this. And probably for my friends and boyfriend as well, who have been hearing about my trials for 3 months-haha. Now, comes the fun part. I'm excited about finding a place to live and having the comfort of finding a nice place feels soooooo good. I'm looking for an apartment close to the blue line since i can transfer to the Metra train from the Blue Line. Ideally I'd like to use public transportation to get to work, but just in case I have to drive, i'd also like to be close to I-90. I'm happy i won't have to live with a stanger and I can afford a 1 bedroom (as opposed to a studio), which will come in handy when i have guests, or if my brother decides to move to Chicago next August. I'm so happy that all of this as finally come together. IKEA here i come ;)
