I can sense that my parents don't want me to join the Peace Corps.

I can't live by what they want, though. PC is something I want to do more with each passing day. This might be my only opportunity in life to do something like this, and I don't want it to pass me by.

I ended up not seeing my friend in Denver this past weekend, due to the snow. We're supposed to have another storm coming in the next couple of days, which might cancel the conference I was supposed to go to. Usually, I would love snow . . . but not now.

My internship begins a week from today. I'm also taking two classes: one on substance abusers and another on adult offenders. It's ok, I like working hard . . .
