It's Thursday. Luckily, the week has gone by fast and I've decided to hold my breath until I receive my first paycheck tomorrow. I'm pretty lucky there too, as I'm scraping the very bottom... now I just have to save!! Not one of my stronger abilities :)

Today I taught the 5:30am cycling class. It went well- lots of smiles and surprisingly, quite a few groans. Definitely not as strong as my Friday bunch. I'll have to tell their instructor to work them harder. Anyway, the class was fun and my workout was done for the day. I then headed to work which actually went by fairly quick, which was nice. I was supposed to make it home to have dinner with my sister and parents, but actually got out of work late so I missed my opportunity and had to instead go straight to the club so I could get the volleyball leagues going. I was pretty annoyed that I had to go there, but I guess I got paid for an extremely easy 3 hours. I have to do it next week as well. I'll definitely have to plan better cause I never really fit dinner into the schedule, but by now it's too late to eat.

I was the only instructor to answer a plea for help for tomorrow, so my class got switched to 5:30pm instead of am. That isn't ideal as I like getting the workout in at the beginning of the day, aside from the fact that I have to leave work early now, but I know what it's like to need a sub and not have anyone answer. I'm not sure what's up with everyone, but no one has been offering to help out at all lately. I had to beg for a sub and it turned out that Tim was finally the only one to offer-(a friend of mine). It's just frustrating as I have been subbing like crazy for everyone else but no one else can step up to the plate. Pretty weak. I know I shouldn't be the one to give in all the time, but the program is really going to suffer if no one ever takes the initiative and I just fall into the same habit. Hope the cyclists like me...

I think I'm crabby. It was a long day, starting pretty damn early and having to end with volleyball. The game used to be really fun but for some reason I now dread it. It just takes everything out of me and I don't have fun. Actually, this time I didn't even sign up... I was just put on a team so now I'm going to have to go to the trouble of taking myself off and finding a sub because I refuse to give up my training nights to play a game that I don't feel like playing.

Ok, I'm done venting. I apologize for the negative attitude. Tomorrow will be better. Hope everyone is having a good week and training is going well.
