What a week this has been for me. As I said earlier, this job of mine is very demanding, and I struggle to keep up. I had a nice talk with my supervisor today about how my week went, where I was weak, how I felt about it, and all those nice things. Our talk lasted 20 minutes, and he said some things that I needed to hear in regards as to why I was hired. I was really starting to doubt myself and my abilities, because I had no experience in SQL I felt like an idiot at the office.
School has been alright, nothing too hard, if anything it's a place where i get to unwind a bit, talk to my teacher about my day and the experience of it all to him. He is a wonderful teacher, and I'm grateful to have had him as my teacher. I only have 15 more school days left before I graduate the 7 month program, and I'm amazed at how the time flies. It just seems like yesterday I was going to class for the first time, feeling much the same way about school as I do about work. Now 7 months later, school isn't a problem, I learned so much, and am a better person because of it.
This weekend will not be long enough for me, but it will serve as a nice break. Tomorrow the Kings play the Ducks in another cross-town rivalry game. Kathy will be goin with some friends of hers, while I hang out at home not doin a damn thing. Now I'm off to sleep, i actually want to sleep in and hope that I don't dream in SQL codes or Paradox data entries. I will try to catch up on other blogs this weekend to say hello. Thank you all who read this and comment, it means alot to me to get feedback from you wonderful people. Have a great weekend!

Sorry to hear you had such a long week. Keep your chin up at work -- no one ever knows everything on their first day. :)
I know it was tough, but you pulled through it okay and I'm proud of you. It'll get better over time. :)
