My week

My week has been busy as usual with school, work, and homework.  My school days run fairly non-stop from about 9:30 until 4 or 5 in the afternoon.  I have a tutor for my Payroll Accounting class (he is a Certified Public Accountant), so I think should be able to survive that class, lol .  My "Success and Study Skills" class has been interesting, we've had to get some practice in listening skills.  On Monday and Thursday night, I and others taking the class, watched culture films on different countries.  We have to write a paper on one of the films we watched, putting in as much information as we can in the paper.  We get points for watching the films and also writing the paper.  I found it all really interesting, learned some things I didn't know.....not such a hard way to earn a good grade.  We also had our Fall Fest at community college on Thursday.  I didn't win any prizes like I did last year, but I did enjoy the pizza and Dr. Pepper, lol.  Oh, and one of my teachers came to school dressed like Captain Jack Sparrow from "Pirates of the Caribbean", lol, that was great!

Things at my job have been about the same, although we were recently told that some of us will possibly be getting fired, probably due to economics.  It will be awhile before we know anything, plus we don't even know who will be fired or when.....it will just happen.  Not a nice way for things to go, but I am trying not to worry about it for now.

At the same time all of this is going on our dog Perky got sick real bad during the week because of some wild berries she ate.  Inspite of decicine from the vet, she died last night while I was at work although my mom did not tell me until I got home from work.  She did not want me getting upset at work or have trouble driving home from work because of being upset.  But I kind of had the feeling she had died, even before I got home from work.  I had texted my mom earlier to ask how our dog was doing.  My mom didn't really answer me, just told me not to worry and to focus on my job for now.  She did have a point there though.  When I had tried to take an online quiz (while worrying about Perky), I didn't do very well on the quiz.  Thankfully the lowest grade will be dropped, so I should still be fine as I still have a "B" in this particular class.  So yes, my mom was right, I didn't need to be worrying, it would only distract me.

I spent the today getting a hole dug so we could bury Perky (it would have been too hard for my dad to do since he has arthritis so bad).  It took awhile to get it all done, plus it was really cold outside....glad my mom and sister (catlover) went out to get some hot cocoa .  Still, it was not easy to get this done.  Perky was such a good dog......yes, she could be obnoxious at times, lol, but mostly a good dog.  I am going to miss her!
