My name is Anika. I play the flute. I have never been to California. I have children. I want to take my children to Disneyland. I have children that are under the age of 9. I loved visiting the Epcot. I do not like sports. I like books. I work in a library. I like reading. I research family history. I am good at language arts. I was never good at science. I made my kids costumes for their school play. I have a cousin in California. My cousin is a hospital worker. I moved out of the Los Angeles area. I moved because of the high real estate prices. I hate the LA traffic.
I am packing because I am moving to California very soon. I don't have a job in California yet. I have always wanted to move to California. I would like to live in the countryside. I have been to Disneyland. I have been to Orlando. I cannot wait to move away from Chicago. I grew up in Chicago. I love The Bears. I do not like reading. I only read magazines. I enjoyed researching family history. I am a scientist. I would like to work in a hospital lab. I work in a private lab. I like to be of help to people. I live in the center of the city of Chicago. I plan to rent a house in California. I want to buy my own home ultimately. I don't have to drive in traffic very often.
I spoke to my cousin and he's going to see what he can find out about lab jobs for you. That's wonderful news. Thank you so much. What part of California does he work at? He is in the Los Angeles area. The job is working for a hospital, so it seems right up your alley! Yes, a hospital is where I would like to work. Los Angeles has a lot of research hospitals, so hopefully I can find a job there. Your cousin's recommendation will help me narrow down the choices for sure. I am so glad I could help! I must admit though, I don't envy you. I have learned to hate LA. You couldn't pay me to go back there. If you go there, I hope you don't mind traffic. Yes, I've heard that about LA. I'll be about an hour outside of the city, but I've heard that it can take up to 2 hours each way during rush hour. I guess I'll brush up on my books on tape during the commute! Any recommendations, since you're a librarian? You are right. The commute can be brutal but the audio books idea is a good one. I have loads of recommendations! What type of genre are you most interested in? I know you are more of a magazine guy and like the Bears, so maybe something sports related? Maybe a biography on a Bears player or a football book in general? I do like sports, specifically football. Science books for sure.  Hmm. Lets see. "If these walls could talk" is a good book about the Bears and football. For science, try out "A Brief History of Time." I haven't heard about that first one. I'll give it a try. I have heard about Hawkins book. I haven't tried to read it though. Maybe my commute will be a good time. Thanks so much.  My pleasure. The Hawkins book is a classic and pretty assessable to novice science readers like me! I really hope you get the job. I know how much you are ready to get out of Chicago. Yes, that's what I've heard about it as well. Well, if I don't get one job, I'm sure there are others. I just have to keep at it. Yes, all set to leave Chicago. I am kind of sick of it. The winters are brutal! I can't wait to get to sunny Los Angeles. Switching topics, how are you doing? How are the kids? Any flute playing lately?
