Cram 'N' Jam
Cram 'N' Jam was interesting last night. I spent most of the time talking and not doing what I was supposed to be doing. Oh well. I had fun. I went up to the Tutoring Center and managed to distract one of the other tutors from doing his homework. He kept saying he was going to finish the problem he was working on and then go down to the cafeteria. ( Read more... ) -
End of the Quarter
I can't believe that it's the end of fall quarter already. It's amazing how fast it goes by. Tomorrow and Tuesday are the last days of the lectures. Wednesday through Friday is finals week. Cram 'N' Jam is Tueday night. I'm excited about working it this quarter. Someone that I work with and actually talk to, she was also in my psych class, is ( Read more... ) -
Two Questions
My psychology professor is having us write a four page paper based on two questions: What do you want in a significant other? What do you think you have to offer that significant other? I have the first half or so of this paper finished. I just have to think of what I have to offer a significant other. I plan on asking one of my friends what he ( Read more... ) -
All Hallow's Eve and NaNoWriMo
Halloween was entirely alright. It would have been better if I had gone trick or treating but no one really wanted to go. Instead of doing that, a friend and I went to go see Saw V. The new Saw was a pretty good movie. The ending of it made me want them to make another Saw movie just to answer some questions. The friend and I were going to go trick ( Read more... ) -
Why....
...Do some guys go after girls they don't know on the internet and try to get them to have a conversation about sex with them or cyber with them? There have been one or two exceptions but for the most part, conversations go to sex. Typically, they start out sweet, with compliments on whatever picture[s] they can see, for example: "You're really ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block
I have to write two pages of poetry on an inanimate object or multiple objects if there's more than one poem. I have two poems on one page already and I just have to get that second page done. I just can't find the words I want to write down. I've been trying to think of something to write about cell phones but I have nothing so far. And it has to ( Read more... ) -
Freaked
Never in the five months that I've been a tutor have I been freaked out by a student that I've worked with. He's an older man, around 40 -- if not older, and single. I walked into work thinking everything would be fine but after about half an hour with the man, I started to think that things might not be so fine by the end of it and my boss and the ( Read more... ) -
Finally!
Work is finally using me for what I was hired to do -- tutor in Spanish. I had talked to the person that does all the tutor - student matching since a group had canceled on me and she mentioned that she happened to have a couple of students for me since I was already there and she wouldn't have to call me later. They were both Spanish 121 [the very ( Read more... ) -
I Hate Training for Work
The training for the tutoring center on campus is definitely more thorough with their training than Dollar Tree and at the student store of my high school. At the Dollar Tree, it's just a quick run through of how the registers work. That's all there is. And then one of the assistant managers watches over your shoulders for a while to make sure you ( Read more... ) -
Words
How often do we think of the words we use while we are speaking with our friends/family/co-workers/etc.? I was thinking of one of the assignments that my creative writing professor gave us on Friday: think of a word that sounds well written/spoken and a word that sounds ugly written/spoken. I was thinking of how there are some very ugly sounding ( Read more... )
