announcement: as of mere minutes ago, i purchased a one-way plane ticket to the rest of my life. okay, the ticket is just a Southwest Airlines non-stop flight to Chicago for 30 days from now. and the rest of my life as of then will be living on a gracious friend's couch. but, who cares. i'm 21 (soon to be 22), a college graduate, and totally clueless about what i want. all i know is, whatever i want is in Chicago. and that i will find it. hopefully sooner rather than later, because i can only abuse my friends for so long. so saddle up, kids. mama's comin' to town.
i may have graduated from college, but getting something for free no matter what it is still excites me more than i care to admit. when i found out that i could get a free lunch from Red Robin at work if i came in on my day out of the office (before i work at our state fair) to celebrate a coworker's birthday, i said "are you taking orders yet?" despite the many random free trinkets and bbq dinners i scored in my four years of college, i have not lost any of my appreciation of and determination to get whatever is free. i don't care if it's the 45th Campus Safety magnet i've gotten, it's my magnet and i paid nothing for it. so if i can manage to wrangle a delightful lunch of clucks and fries ("waffle fries...fo free!") from my boss, i will jump on that opportunity right quick. thanks coworker Dawn for turning another year older, and thank you Loyola for teaching me the true value of the American dollar.
