i have two weeks left of being double-deuces

i'm tired of dominika. she's, y'know, too smart for the class- so she finishes the reading exercises two minutes before gergu or agnes, but so does nina (finally back today after like three weeks of absence) and all dominika ever does these days is talk to whoever's next to her, be it wioletta or kasya or nina. it's fucking obnoxious. lately I've just been losing steam after like an hour of that class. that could be due to lack of sleep on my own part, of course, but i think the lack of enthusiasm from the stronger students can't but contribute.

anyway, tomorrow i get to teach the fun ones. and take a trip to revenue, too, in the morning with karolina to get emergency tax sorted out. damn, but i wish i got that within days of registering for it. it only shows up on the next payday, of course. on that front, still no pay from IH, who say they're asking accounts about it. the only good part about bugging the admin office this evening was, after a moment of feeling uncomfortable when i told them i had 12 euro to survive on, devon went, "i know your pain." that was balm for me putting myself on the line.
anyway, i spent a fiver tonight to buy spaghetti, olive oil and canned tomatoes- used some leftover lamb for a sauce. honestly, pasta sauce is as easy as canned tomatoes and one's own spices- and that way is fantastically customizable. yay!

Also, birthday package from home arrived! Mom gave me permission to retrieve the new shoes from it- two pairs of Skechers at my request. One's a duplicate of my current pair for when they wear out and the other's a similar style but black and with plaid-y fabric on most of it. Way cute.

Right, I'm gonna get my damned eight hours tonight. I have a movie to watch and a lesson to (perhaps) prepare.

money, teaching, to do, weltschmerz, birthdays
