this week

I'm tired.

I have not worked less than five days in a week since the beginning of September. Not so conveniently that was also when I started going to school five days a week. Oh joy. So I'm scheduled for five days again next week, but I think Beth is going to take one of my shifts (yipee) and when I finally get to see Judy I'm going to ask her to reduce my hours.

So what happened this week?

I had a midterm in Communications for Business English (sounds less elementary when I add the business part), I don't know that I did very well-I really don't like my teacher for that class. It was an eventful day though, one of my classmates swore at the teacher and our teacher almost swore back. What a way to start your day!

After that though we had a three hour break between classes because our second class (a 2 hour one) got cancelled, so I did a lot of homework. Finished up one web page and created two more. They're really basic though, so no need to be too impressed. :)

And...I picked up my schedule for peer tutoring next week. I have two 1-hour sessions (one on Monday and another on Friday). Apparently I'm teaching a second year student Document Processing. I'm going to give them a call this week and find out what exactly they're struggling with, because it's a little absurd for me to teach someone ahead of me. What joy.

After school today Mrs LeaKer picked me up and took me out to pick up my birthday present. I got beautiful white gold earrings that are called "huggies" see here for an example. Then we picked up my laundry, went back to their house so I could put it in and then she took me out for lunch. I also got a birthday gift from Grandma S, a nice card and a cute stuffed dog from TY named "Crinkles", she attached a note that said "I need a hug". It was so sweet. I'm going to send her a thank you card, it was really nice that she remembered me. :)

Tonight I was manager at work, it was a crazy day. My boss understaffed us and then someone called in sick. To top it off the store manager was there and was breathing down my neck. Oh well, I think I did a good job-I did the best I could with what I had (like, no staff). I ended up staying an extra 1/2 hour to finish up work that I couldn't do during my shift and then Ty's parents picked me up. They're so sweet! I called to see if Ty was around and his mom was like "oh hon, do you need a ride?"...I normally don't mind taking the bus, but I had my laundry today and so when she offered I agreed.

And now it's late and I'm in my pj's in bed and ready to fall asleep.

So I had a really great week. In summary (for those of you too lazy to read everything else): lots of schoolwork, lots of hours at work, beautiful new earrings and lots of love. :)
