I haven't left my apartment in 3 days.  Winter is not my most favorite time of the year.  The weather people were telling us we were going to get an inch of ice and 10-20 in of snow.  Turns out we only got .5in of ice and maybe 4 in of snow.  I'm really glad I'm not at home right now - pictures inform me that the blizzard wasn't nice enough to skip them over, too.  Still, the ice and snow here is enough to make me not want to go anywhere.  Not that I have anywhere to go...

The VA told me not to come in yesterday to volunteer because my supervisors were staying home.  Also, I was supposed to start volunteering at the Juvenile Detention Center last night, but they canceled that, as well.  I'm excited to start there next week.  Every Tuesday I will be playing games, etc with the boys at St. Louis City JDC.  I'm sure it will be a new challenge, but since that's the population I want to work with for the rest of my life, it's good to get the experience now to be sure that it is what I want to do.

But other than those two things, nothing else is finalized in my life.  I got a background check so that I could go back to work at the PSC 2 weeks ago.  It was supposed to take a week, yet I have still heard nothing.  It's starting to get frustrating that I have to go through all of these hoops for a job that was already mine while losing a lot of money in the process.  Money I need.

I also sent my application that Chestnut needed back to them a week ago.  He needed a new application (because HR misplaced mine) before he could officially offer me a job.  I feel like it should definitely be there by now.  I know I'm not being very patient, but I am so broke and so excited to start there.  I hope I hear something soon.

Grad school update - I have officially gotten 2 rejection emails (yep, emails...).  I did, however, get a call last Friday inviting me to come to Indiana State to interview, so that's some good news that I am trying to hold onto.  I hope I hear more good news soon!
