Payday! Payday!

I'm very happy today. Why? Answer: I get my first serious teaching paycheck today. Actually, I'm happy for a much deeper reason. I feel that my hard work is paying off in other ways, not just financially. This journey hasn't always been easy, but it's been lots of fun. And remember, grasshoppers: Life is a journey-- not a destination. Although I'm taking a drama class, in terms of my real life, I'm like, in the immortal words of Mary J. Blige, 'No more drama!' Then again, at least a little drama in the Ashleyverse is probably inevitable.
