Rough week

This past week has surprisingly been rough. It all started with work, of course. Since an irresponsible manager left her keys in front door over night on May 17th, and was demoted the next day she came to work--her position become available for either myself or another manager to be promoted into. With no real intentions of taking the position, I indeed wanted to be offered the spot. I've been with the company longer than any other employee in our store, and I thought that I was WAY past due for the offer. Well, the week before last I let my district manager know that I was capable of doing the job, and maintain my school. I knew that I was taken a stab at even bothering to let her know my feelings about the situation, as I have already been shafted the senior first assistant manager position five time in the last two years (all because I'm in school, and basically, she knows that I'm not going to make this job my life). So, on last Monday (June 1st), as I was about to get off, the store manager walked me up to the door and told me that Sandra told her what I said and that the position was mine, but was I willing to put my career on hold for them? She told me to think about it, and to let her know sometime the next day. I told her okay, and starting thinking I'd take it just for the summer. After conversation with my mom she helped me realize that I really didn't need to take it just for the summer, and that I had a lot to look forward to. My life is full of promises, and that the Lord really blessed me enough with my Scholarship so I would be able to get my education. Makes perfect since, huh? But you can't help a girl for wanting to be offered a promotion-I'll just keep my first assistant manager tag until I quit. Lol.

My weekend was pretty eventful! Friday after getting off work at 9:30PM, I drove up to Savannah to stay the night in the hotel with my friend Amanda and her mom. Saturday morning was orientation at Armstrong, and check-in was at 9AM. We set through about an hour and a half of "getting to know AASU" PowerPoint, and about their financial aid department. It was quiet boring, and pretty pointless. After that we went to an area for an advisement session. Once advised we went over to register for the classes ourselves on the web, and got our student Id's. Lastly, we took a tour to one of the Campus housing complexes. The room we saw was horrible, and I wouldn't waist my money to live in those Apartments. Not to mention, for that high price they are asking for-they sure did have a lot of rules that was insane! SO now I'm kind of at square one-where will I live? We so thought before seeing the Apartments on campus that we would be living there, but that will definitely NOT happen now. Let's keep our fingers crossed that my scholarship will cover me living off-campus... since it looks like it's going to be that way anyways.
