Hi, everyone - just checking in; I decided it's easier to pay the dog walker and stay at work late before going to my instructor's class than to go home; his class is 3 miles northwest of the middle school I teach at, but my house is 16 miles southeat of the middle school... as much as I'd like to go home and chill, it's just not worth it to me to drive 30 minutes home, walk the dog, wait 45-60 minutes, turn around and drive back to almost the exact same place. So instead, I'm going to get a light dinner and head toward class - the only problem is, the junior class is 6-7:30, and the senior class is 7:30-9, which means getting home at 9:45-10, having left my house at 6:45 this morning... oh well... it's less stressful than driving all that way!
