isn't it strange that the same people who make me cry are also the same people who make me laugh and make me happy?

i found a closer library now... reading books definitely help me to cope with the time at home now. shelly, my neighbor, offers to take me to the library once in a while when she takes sarah to the library. it is really nice of her. :)

i went to a volunteer orientation this afternoon... and Vladmir told me that maybe he can hook me up with a care taker position (morning shift). I think i am going to take it... if my hands give me too much problem later, i will just have to either deal with it or quit. hopefully my hands won't start blistering up again. i've been putting a lot of lotion on them lately... i just have one cluster of blisters now... not too bad. :)

so i sent two faxes today...one to BU, one to MSU... i think i am going to call U of Conn tomorrow...to see how the process is coming along...and maybe VCU... and maybe temple...and some other schools that i haven't heard from yet...

finger crossed.......
