June 2010
Bzz bzz bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, busy busy summer.
June Recap
I managed to get a job as a tutor for the GEAR UP Summer Math Program. Four groups of ten to twenty high school students attending three out of four classes at state learning about algebra, probability and stats, geometry, and functions through math games for elective credits. This program runs for five weeks, Monday to Friday, from 9:00 to 12:00, but I am usually there by 8:15 every day along with Hachi and don't leave till 12:30 or 1:00 (even later sometimes). By the end of the week, I am super tired, but nonetheless happy. I enjoy all of the students that I work with. Though sometimes, they upset/frustrate me or I want them to dial down the crazy hyper mood. Also in a lot of side committees within this: bulletin board, menu planning for staff lunch on Thursdays, Parent Night , and media project.
There is only one thing that I am curious about. I was the last tutor hired, so my paperwork was late, but it's already July, and I have yet to get a confirmation letter. Stupid summer and office, please clear me faster! I need to follow up on this with the office manager.
Taking econ 101 during R1, it's not too hard, I just need to study more. The teacher is nice enough, but since it's a summer class, she can't cover everything and doesn't have enough time to. And I shouldn't have missed that one day, had to get my car fixed. Work followed by school right after (only on Tuesdays and Thursdays) is super jam pack and stressful... wouldn't have any other way though.
See you in August!
