Apartment hunting has been arduous and seemingly endless. Sometimes I honestly believe there are good deals out there (we feel we can't afford something expensive; even though Mattie now has a permanent and well-paying job, both of us are too keenly aware from experience that sources of money can't be counted on to keep coming through as you hope forever, so we want an apartment that costs as much as our last one or only a little more, which seems right since we were able to keep on paying the rent there even when neither of us had a permanent job or a reliable source of income)--indeed, we've found at least one good deal, which we're currently in the process of trying very hard to get--but sometimes it's like needles in a haystack, trying to find them.
It's snowing out now for the first time in weeks. It's been snowing all day, but it's still hardly sticking on the ground. It was a fine, unpleasant little snow at first; the flakes have become bigger now and it's falling thicker, but it must also have gotten warmer, because there's even less collected on roofs than there was earlier.
I'm all registered and paid for my ASL class!! I had just barely enough credit to afford it. It meets for the first time tomorrow. I've been SO eager and impatient for it. Now that it's getting closer, though, I'm getting nervous.
It turns out my sister was in an almost identical program in Texas a few years ago (who knew?), and she's had a lot to tell me about it, much of which puts even yet still more doubts in my mind about pursuing the full interpreter training program. I've been realizing, however, that in fact I've been fascinated with this stuff since I was six or seven, so if nothing else, it should feed me knowledge and experience I've craved my whole life. I pray it will.
