The first snow of the season was on the 13th. Today is the 22nd. That is almost 10 days of snow. That may not seem like a lot if you are reading this from one of those places that is known for its harsh winter but for us that is a LOT of snow.
Usually it snows a little then melts, then snows a little then melts. This is rediculous.
Making matters slightly more annoying is that my roomates both went out of town for what was supposed to just be one night. So I have been snowed in with just the cats for company. I got so stir crazy that last night I walked the mile to my parents house, ate dinner, then walked home.
Roommate 2 finally got home this morning. But not until after I attempted to drive to my internship. I managed to make it off my cul-de-sac and drove about half way to the office before the anxiety got the best of me and I decided to turn around and come home. And promptly got stuck at the entry to the cul-de-sac. As on coming traffic approached. I ended up reversing and then parking at a drug store up the street and walking home. Hopefully they won’t tow my car.
Hopefully the roads will be drivable tomorrow because my new cat as a vet appointment. Yep you read that right I got my first pet at the age of 25. Cookie has been hanging out around our neighbors house at least since September. The neighbor has been feeding her but can’t take her in due to allergies. The roommates have been trying to convince me to take her for awhile but I have protested mostly because I can’t afford to take care of myself right now adding another living being to my care doesn’t seem smart. Well with the snow we have brought Cookie inside and she will be staying. The roommates will help out with expenses til I get a job.
Other snowed in activities have included re-arranging my room and looking into PhD programs. I won’t even be done with MSW until 2010 but since I had nothing else to do I thought I’d just see whats out there. I’m not really sure how one is supposed to choose a program.
Anyone know? Should I find professors whose areas of interest for research match mine and apply there? What if those profs leave the school before I start my disertation? IDK. Maybe next snow day I’ll look into it some more.
