Beautiful sunrise again this morning and I know this will be another beautiful carolina coastal day!!

Today I will hear what my colleagues (?) think of my poem. I am anxious to hear their comments and criticisms. I value their opinions even though they are looking at it through much younger eyes. I still think they all have something valid to add.

Good news to report. I just was hired as a work study in the financial aid office. That means that I will work 10 hours a week until the budgeted amount runs out. This program is run by the Federal Government. I qualified for $634 a semester -- woo-hoo!! -- and once I use up those funds, I have to stop working. They also have been approved for funds for the summer as long as I apply for summer school which I already had planned to do. My secret plan is that I will be such a good little worker bee, that they just cannot do without me and will find more funds to keep me!! I knew all those baked goodies I had been bringing over to my financial aid angel would pay off.

The lady that 'interviewed' me almost apologetically said some of the work is menial. I said 'are you kidding?' I am just so glad to be contributing. I will be working with students and their parents eventually. I have always wanted to work on a college campus. Just another dream coming to fruition.

Hannah and James are coming for a visit this weekend. Maybe we will be looking at bridal gowns?? Just having them here and doing nothing would be fine by me. I really miss my oldest. It will be nice having her for a couple of days.

German quiz today. Hope I fare better than last week. I am a bit more prepared. Our break is on Monday and Tuesday but I start work those days so no class but work instead. No worries. I have had many days off in the past few years. It is time to get busy with something new!!

Guten Tag!
