good lord, i'm tired.

stress and worry last week, and throughout the weekend. and now school and my job kicking in to full swing. oy.

so... update time i suppose.

madison is doing fabulous, and i couldn't be happier. she's a total puppy. but she's a large puppy, so really it's like having a pony in your house. or something. i dunno. it's just that she has all the natural curiosity of a puppy, yet her size makes things so different. instead of sticking her nose in wastebaskets on the floor, she'll try to sniff the stove when you're cooking. instead of running around excitedly when you come home and jumping up our your leg, she gallops and then bam!, full-on tackle.

it's adorable, i love it. it's such a learning experience, and wow... i dunno. i think a year ago all of this would have stressed me out. but honestly, i can now say it's no sweat. even enjoyable! she drinks enough water to take care of three horses, and she wakes you up in the morning by using her 60+ pound body to *pounce* on you! ... but i couldn't be happier, and i laugh, and it's amazing.

and yeah. work is going great, too. started the actual real deal training today, which was awesome. had my class with sammy, and he's progressing SO well! wow.

so good stuff there. and school. today i had three of my five classes... health, english, and speech.

health is a joke. i wouldn't be taking it if it weren't required. the teacher seems really nice though, and that's always a plus. but yeah, if i don't get an `a` in that class, i'm going to go jump off a bridge or something.

english is pretty fuckin' awesome. i simply love and adore english teachers who share their passion in their teaching, and are into creative writing. i hate all that formal bullshit. so, i'm jazzed. the course seems cool, and the teacher rocks. rob and i are convinced he smokes out. *g*

and speech... well, how could i not love speech? this will be my third semester with this particular teacher, and i couldn't be happier. i still can't get over the fact that i'm team captain though. part of me believes i'll rock the house in that position, and a smaller part of me is nagging, ``don't fuck this up jen, don't let anybody down!`` ... i think i'll be okay. *smiles*

soooooooo. the big bad classes are tomorrow. bio and bio lab. have i mentioned i don't really dig that kind of science? yeah. the last bio class i had was 8th grade ap biology, where i aced that mutha because in doing that, i secured that i only had to take one other science class in highschool. i got stuck with ap chem, and i wasn't really feelin' that class either. then, two semesters back i took geology and that was alright. but man... bio. blaaaaaaaah. *whine whine whine* i'll get over it, i know. it's just that from 9:30 in the morning to 1:freakin'50 in the afternoon, guess where i'll be? yeah, bio and bio lab. woo. but at least i'll have rob there to keep me company. hopefully it won't be too bad. i'm hoping for one of those really wacky science teachers or something. *smiles*

oh and we still haven't found a new roomie... but i'm guessing it'd help if i was actually looking. i'd like to find one, really, for the extra cash flow and just so i can have the whole deal done and over with again. things have been busy enough without adding that on top of it all tho... so, whatever's clever for now.

and i'm too tired to really write much else. wish me luck on my `potty training` test tomorrow. *g*
