I have a very small to do list and a lot of time on my hands. The list includes things I must purchase, things I should unpack, and phone calls I need to make. In order to make sure I don't go stir crazy, I've tried to plan things so that I get at least one excursion out of the apartment each day. Even if that just means I walk to pick up my mailbox key, well, at least I've gotten out of the house.
Today I went to get an Indy library card, that was my excursion of the day. The cards are very hip. Seriously. The thing looks like a custom credit card. I almost feel like I should show it off. And the Indy libraries have INCREDIBLY good new release DVDs for rent. I may never have to go to the video store again. For three days, simply by displaying my very hip new card, I can rent one of hundreds of movies I have yet to see. This truly made my day.
AND, I discovered a store called Value City. It does not sound at all impressive, but it's like a cross between Gordman's and TJ Maxx. I feel very capitalist describing all of my new store discoveries, but I'll excuse myself with boredom as my defense. :)
This week I hope to explore some of the more cultural spots in downtown Indy. Oh, and I'll be standing in line for food stamps. AmeriCorps' living allowance is exactly 5% higher than the poverty line. It's all a part of the service learning experience, I guess.
