Can't think of a title
Ok, so tutored again. Last week I was doing math, simple perimeter, circumference stuff. Most of the kids were able to do it without much trouble, some had a lot of trouble. This week we were doing science. The teacher was missing a key ingredient in the lab we were going to do so we did boring shit instead. Sadly the first week she didn't know I was going to be there so she had nothing special set up for me to do with the kids she thought needed extra help, I just helped were I could. This week she again didn't have anything ready for me because the lab was a bust, spent half the time just sitting there listening to the students read the same science stuff twice (two different classes) about the 5 kingdoms of life, which might have been interesting the first time if I didn't already know it all. King Philip Came Over For Great Spaghetti. The non-sitting around parts were fun though, and there was a lot of laughing to be had. She did promise next week to have more for me to do, it probably helps that next week is going to be math again, which is easier to tutor. Happy I answered your question from long ago(like 3 weeks)?
Not so snow day
Ok, it has been a while but I have been......lazy would sum it up. I went to do my first round of tutoring last thursday. I got up at 5am and it was snowing and there was already a bunch of snow on the ground, especially for a pasadena boy so I KNEW it would be a snow day. But ofcourse I had to get ready last minute when it wasn't. I got there really early after the two buses and train (not too bad of a commute) and had to wait after finding the room empty. To sum it up, the teacher was cool, the two classes of students were cool and smarter then I thought they would be (I guess I just assume kids are stupid, which is one of the things that would make me a great teacher), I was a little nervous, but tried my best to get in the thick of it. On the way home it was snowing so hard that standing, waiting for the bus I started to be covered in snow. If I stood there any longer I would have become a snowman. UTD classes were cancelled after 3pm so I was free for the rest of the day. I just vegged after that. Picture time!
