College Park, MD???

This is going to be a short post, but I have two pieces of exciting news that have come to me in the past 7 days and that I am so happy about.

1. Last Friday I got an email from the iSchool at UMD saying that they have recommended me to the Graduate Council for admittance into their MLS program in the fall. :D According to the people I have talked to, at this point I have a good chance of being accepted; which makes me even happier.

2. Several months ago, I applied again to NARA for a position in their FCIP program. I hadn't heard anything in a while and so I figured that either the positions had been filled or were not needed anymore. Today, however, I got a call and I now have an interview with them in about a week! :D

The good thing about both of these, is that both of them are in College Park, MD and are pretty much, right next to each other. Plus, my degree's concentration is Archiving, which would overlap perfectly if I ended up doing both. While nothing is set in stone, I am excited for both opportunities!

First Post of 2010

I'm beginning to think that I am an idiot when it comes to blogging. While I have meant to blog more since the new year started, I have been foiled by technology. First, it was remembering my password. I have many of them and many variations of each one, making it difficult for hackers, as well as myself, to access my accounts. I even have one account that's password means nothing to me, thus I promptly forgot it. Haven't been to that site in about 2 years either...

But alas, after fixing everything, I am able to finally get on here and write. So that all of my adoring fans (cue the crickets) can read about my awesome, adventure filled life.

Sadly, there isn't much going on.

For the most part, I have been stuck inside, playing games, writing and taking care of my sisters. Not that I am complaining, I love helping my parents, but it doesn't make for entertaining blogging.

The most exciting thing that has happened is the reason for being stuck inside. SNOW!

Richmond has gotten more snow in the past 7 weeks than usual. The usual for this area is one or two snowstorms that dump less than a foot - combined.

Still, that leaves people scurrying for bread and milk and schools closed for a day or two. This season we've gotten almost 2 feet of snow combined and are expecting more this weekend.

Even I am looking forward to spring now.
