Snow... in December?

Yesterday we had a snow day from work. Hattiesburg got approximately 3 inches. The Jackson area recieved 3-5 as well. Snow is so much fun when you rarely get it!

I did indeed pick out an apartment last week and met some people in Student Affairs at UMC. Mrs. Virginia is the administrative assistant and she was super nice. Met Kristen, an M1, and she helped a lot as well. It's really starting to sink in that I'm about to be there!

Scholarship offers start coming after the first of the year. I'm crossing my fingers but not relying on anything. That way, any offer at all will be a pleasant surprise :)

Apartment Shopping!

And so it begins.... tomorrow I head to Jackson to begin searching for a new home.

There's so much to do before July... but it seems like so much that can't be done yet. I hate waiting til the last minute. Since the class is chosen throughout the whole year though, they don't start sending out a lot of things until summer.

I'm ready to be prepared for the next step - although I know there's no real way to be completely prepared, each movement forward helps me settle into a new routine and a new world.

During this trip, I'm planning on finding a place to live and getting some information about health insurance and financial aid. We'll see how much is actually accomplished.

Then there's always Christmas shopping at Dogwood Festival! :)
