Rainy days and Mondays

Went to bed early. Or at least, I tried. I'm trying to strike some sort of balance.

And trying to manage things at home from 1500 miles away. Eesh. Ashley's having a family crisis, sister having drama...

And I had my first test today. So I wanted to be somewhat alert. But you all know how fond I am of the 7-4 shift. Now I'm working what is equivalent to 5.30-2.30. And trying to learn. To say this is a challenge for me, would truly be an understatement. But I want to soak this in. So I'm trying. But I don't forsee a lot of tourism. I'm just too damn tired to care.

But I passed my test. I did perfectly fine on it. And knowing how crap I am at tests, I'm totally pleased.

We had a really cool bug lab too. That was great practice. I can't believe all the things I'm learning that I've never even heard of before.

I guess some of the guys accidentally ended up in the gay district this weekend- including Matt. I'm sorry, but that's too funny. Matt in a gay bar. Wow. He took it in stride though. He's actually been great. I'm sorry we've lost him.

Emma is still doing great. I think this is really helping her learn things it's hard for her to pick up in the group setting. And she's getting more socialized. What's super funny is there is really only one guy she doesn't like and he's really the only ass as far as I can tell. So, good dog! ;) She's having fun interacting with everyone else, and still comes to class with me every day. The instructor wanted her to have a prometrics login and take the test with us. He seems sure she would pass....

I'm not homesick. I know everyone else was by now, but I'm glad to be away from all the crap waiting for me back home. I find I don't want to deal with other people's drama. I've enough of my own. Enough of my own that I'm happy to be separate from. Hopefully get some perspective. I can pay my bills on the internet, and my beautiful boy helping me keep an eye on things. And sis and mom have the dogs. So I'm taking the opportunity to sleep, and read, and everything else I never get around to.

So that's what I'm heading back to. A book, or a British mini-series, or just plain ole' bed. I only have two things outside of class that I want to accomplish, and those will keep till the weekend.

My best to everyone at home.
<3 to Ashley.
And Ayrian and Stinky.
And me, wish me luck. ;)
