Hello to: more hours of sleep and leisure
Good bye to: work
FOR SOME REASON EVERYTHING HAD CHANGED SINCE I LAST WROTE IN THIS BLOG O' MINE!
And I have the faintest idea why... Yesterday we had our successful reporting for Ed Tech, despite Tin's stressing urges of working on it. Ma'am Vindollo made her comments and suggestions, and will tell us our grade tomorrow. Since Ma'am Jimenez and Sir Daks were on a seminar, we were free. I had to dash home to be able to change clothes and rest (got to watch 8 Mile, Eminem was actually good.. hee) so I can make it to my job at Banawe before 5. I did, and Jaime was actually cooperating. I was having fun teaching her, learning from her. I hoped she learned from me as well, because her grandma was really worried she would have to repeat first grade due to her low grades.
Then disaster struck in the form of 800 pesos.
Now I know why one shouldn't count the chickens before the eggs hatch. I was so stressed with the fact that I haven't paid for my prelims which starts Monday that I started imagining where will I used the money I'd earn from tutoring Jaime, a thing I had tried to stopped myself from doing because I knew its a jinx.
So when grandma Sally asked me for a talk, I knew it wasn't anything good. For me anyway. Apparently, Jaime's teacher who was also concerned with her academic status, offered to tutor Jaime herself. I was despensable, so off I went. Grandma Sally did pay me Php 800, doubling the supposedly 400 I had earned with the four sessions we had. I still don't know if I'm sad or not. For one thing, it was only 100 for a session, one that I had to work hard for, wait for, and lose sleep from. For another, it was an experience, a way to know if teaching truly is my calling (and it is!), and besides, I'll miss Jaime. She was my first ever student. Well, aside from Alyssa and Medrick.
Oh well.
Without the tutoring, I now have NO OTHER SOURCE OF INCOME, NO OTHER SOURCE OF PROBLEMS making me remember that I am a pathetic, boyfriendless eighteen year old, trying to trick people into thinking that I am awesome.
What a life.
