Thursday

Last night was finally a night with no stress/drama (at work anyway). I like the rare occasions when I get to work with people who treat me decently.
I started a new Intermediate class with 5 dogs last night. They're some of my best/favorite students so I'm really excited to see how that progresses. As much as I don't want to leave my students and have to start over building my reputation, I cannot WAIT until the New Bern store opens. I'm truly truly hoping they'll allow me to transfer there. It would be great to build a new training program there. Coming into this store I think the people I work with highly undervalue my position. Half of the time it seems like people go out of their way to make my job more difficult.
Should I just title my blog 'Ashley bitches about her job every day'??
Spring semester started today. I'm taking an Expository Writing class, Abnormal Psychology, a math class, and World Religions. English & Religion are both online. My Expository Writing & Psych classes are Mon, Tues, Wed from 8-12 and then Tues & Wed I work 2-9. Plenty of time to get my homework done, I suppose.
I bought my books for class yesterday before I went to work and became physically ill at the staggering cost. And the fact that the check was written from my own bank account. I came home and the amaaazing Amelia had told me about chegg.com where you can RENT your textbooks for a semester. That saved me $300!! I'm returning the books today and the rented books should be here by Saturday. Hopefully before Monday anyway LOL!
Tonight I'm going to Rucker Johns on Emerald Isle to celebrate dinner with a friend's daughter (teenage daughter).
Maybe I'll get to see Bob sometime this week...?
