Thank you for your prayers and comments--
I got the job!
It's not the exact position I applied for, but the managers want me to be in patient services because of my work experience (this makes sense to me too). Unfortunately only a casual part time position was available currently, but they told me when a flex position opens I should be able just to switch right over.
Soooo I'm the employee of WVU Hospitals as a dietetic assistant now. :)
I wanted a job during college where I felt like I was helping people and really making a difference. Not that retail or fast food doesn't provide a service for people which is sometimes needed or wanted, but I've always been drawn toward more professional settings and helping people who depend on it (in this case, patients need to eat, right??). This makes me happy that I can work a fulfilling job even while I'm in college. I'm very thankful to God for this opportunity.
Love you guys!
Progress!
This morning was my interview with the Human Resources lady; I have another interview with the manager of the dietetics department on Monday at 9am :) They started a background check on me, which will come out crystal clear seeing as how I've never had any run-ins with the law and such. Then I'll probably have to do a drug test and a handful of other things before I know whether or not I got the job. But we're making progress!
Thanks for the prayers :)

Over a month has passed and here I am, writing my life away at WVU for all my classes. :) It's great! Stressful, but in a good way. It keeps me busy.
And when I'm not writing, I'm....
-Reading
-Baking
-Cooking
-Studying (not just for school!)
-Hanging out with friends
-Helping teach little kids' bible class
-Sleeping
That's basically all I do, guys. :) Woo!
Now if we could only keep the snow and bad weather away so that I could go outside and enjoy a variation of outdoorsy-type activities, I'd be flying high. I really don't like being cooped up in here. My apartment is great, but I don't think about how small it is until I have to stay in here for DAYS because I'm literally snowed in.
Tomorrow morning, I have an interview with one of the hospitals here for a dietetics assistant position. It'll pay decently and it's a flex-hour job so that during the school semesters I can work 20 hours and during the summer I can "flex" and work 40 hours a week. This is exactly what I need, so please pray for me! Also, pray that I actually make it there safely because the weather tomorrow is supposed to be quite awful.
Hopefully I'll work in a post a little sooner than last time. I'm busy, what can I say? :)
How is everyone??

I saw this quote in Cracker Barrel this past week while I was traveling with the WVU Marching Band to the Gator Bowl:
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."
It struck me then that no matter what problems I face in life, I need to rise above those problems and genuinely believe that they're taken care of. I can hide inside myself forever thinking that the lightning storm outside with my brother will never stop, but what good will it do? We've all read what the Bible says about worrying. Instead of rolling into a ball of sorrow and fear because the storm is directly overhead, this year I'm planning to run headlong into the rain and spin around smiling, jump in the puddles, and kick up the water like there's no tomorrow. Because really, there may never be a tomorrow. I'd never want to die being accused of sitting on the porch steps during a downpour instead of out there getting drenched.
So here's to meeting problems headfirst and to controlling emotions of doubt or fear or worry.
Here's to helping my parents heal and doing the same.
Here's to a year that, no matter how unexpected events may come, will still be recognized as time the Lord has given us to use, profit from, and help others profit as well.
I wish you all the best in every way; most importantly I wish you strength when you face the storms of life. But whatever you do, meet the storm outside without fear; we have a Father who will shelter us from any harm.

I was just trying to get an idea about how to approach it.
