Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river

I really couldn't think of a title off the top of my head for this post and The Turners' Proud Mary is stuck in my head for some reason, sooo there you go.

I got a job. I don't think I can quite say where it is for legal reasons, but I'll just say it's a department store. I can pretty much confirm that it seems a 100 times better than the pet store job I had before. I am glad to have it, although it is not in the museum world, because right now I need money like no one's business.

Trying to tackle the financial aid essay for Appalachian State so if I got in, they'd give me money. I need to edit my statement of purpose for them as well. Texas Tech's application process for Museum Science is all over the place. Ugggghh. Have your info in one place please and have it detailed. I really don't like searching everywhere for admissions information and unclear application deadline dates. CU Boulder had it together for sure on their site.

Speaking of them, I should be hearing decisions from the first 3 soon as Tuesday will be the beginning of March, or as I like to call it, "The Month of Reckoning". I pray, pray, pray this year will be different than the last because it's honestly what I need to truly succeed in the museum world. I can work hard all I want....but people want experience PLUS a degree. I don't plan to work in retail all my life. No No NO.

I saw a shooting star tonight. I think it's the second legitimate one I've seen in my life (or at least remember). I wished for good things. Hopefully they will come true.
