It’s been a while since I’ve updated! What can I say? It’s been a really, really busy few weeks.
The internship is going fabulously! I can’t believe I’m less than three weeks from the finish line. I’ve learned a lot, networked with some great contacts and even played a little softball with the WGN Bozos! We didn’t win the championship, but we did make it to playoffs…so I think it was a pretty successful season.
You may or may not know that I’ve been singing with an a cappella group here in the Second City. Hot Commodity is an eclectic group of singers, all of whom have significantly more musical experience than myself! Still, they put up with me and have given me a foothold here in my new home. Our first gig was last week, and it went really well. Totally different from the Central Harmony concerts I have become so familiar with, we performed in a bar on a small stage, individually miked. It was nerve-racking! Erin and Alan came all the way up to The Spot to see the show, and it was so nice to have some familiar faces there.
It looks like my next career move will be…nannying! Who would’ve thought? I start at the end of August, watching a little 5-month-old baby. I’m looking forward to starting because it’s going to give me the opportunity to stay in the city and work toward finding a more permanent position this year.
Speaking of staying in the city…I found an apartment! Woo hoo! I finally feel like I’m starting my real life. So for anyone who wants to come visit, I have an extra room (it’s small, but you’re welcome to use i!) and a kitchen with a full-size stove ready to churn out all kinds of dago dishes. Not to mention, I’m a block from Wrigley and right on Halsted, better known as Boystown. Lots of great restaurants and bars, so it’s bound to be a crazy year!
That’s about it! It’s a quick update after a few long weeks, but I’ll be more diligent. After all, who knows what’s to come?
