Chapter 11 Snow

• *Holly*
• Now that we were just two weeks from Christmas, the bookstore was getting crazy busy. And since I was done with school, I had started working longer hours. But it would be short lived. I had planned to make it through the holiday season with my bookstore job. I wasn’t rude enough to quit at peak busy season. But I’d just gotten confirmation this morning that I’d been accepted for a position as a teacher’s aide that I would start at the beginning of the year, after Christmas vacation was over.
• It was only a few weeks away. When I applied for that job one of those restless nights a couple weeks ago, I didn't think they’d take me. I was too fresh out of college, and I was only twenty-one. But I supposed my parents had taught me to be responsible since I was young and I’d been so dedicated to my studies that I never got in the habit of nonsense, so that probably made me seem more mature to most people.
