puszysty at 04:42pm on 11/02/2008Only one person has answered my question of the day in my last post. :( You all should b/c I'm really curious!
I signed up to take the GRE next Friday. That's 2 days after I take the immigration test. But considering the immigration test is simply going to test my logic and grammar, I should be more than fine. I just have to find a study guide/book for the GRE. Went to the library here, but the only one they had was published in 2003 and I think they've changed the test since then. :P Worthless public library. My mom teaches a class at a community college; I'm gonna see if she can pick me up a more recent copy.
Getting a part-time job here is no longer viable. My schedule now looks liks this:
next Wednesday- test in Chicago
next Friday- test in Grand Rapids
March 3-7 - job fairs in St. Louis and Chicago
That's a lot of time I won't be here (thank god).
If nothing comes of test a or the job fairs then I will pick up and move in March. I was thinking about taking the customs broker test, but the problem with that is a) I don't know where I'll be in April when the test is administered and b) if I get accepted into the training program as a result of test a, I won't be eligible for test c anyway, since federal government employees are not allowed to take it. (Confused yet?)

And as far as your other question about things to do here, to depends a bit on what you like to do & how much you want to spend. The Zoo, Art Museum & Science Center are free (some special exhibits cost a little), the botanical garden was $3 last time I went. Going up in the Arch is around $10 now, I think. There's a brewery tour, but I've never been. I don't know if it costs anything or if you have to get reservations.
A favorite spot to visit is near where I grew up, it's called the loop. Interesting shops, restaurants and such there. Anything special you like to do?

Where is the loop?
