so today, i felt the shittiest ever (at school, during school), it was like i was PMSing or something, but i finished that like a week ago. :/
I found out I got another F on my calc quiz, and i thought i did so damn well too on that!! >:[ and then another class period of understanding absolutely nothing carter was talking about.
vaughn, my ass hole dick head of a school principal, didn't dismiss school because of all the smoke and ashes and later this gas leak on Peyton. then the stoplight on eucalyptus was busted too.
and i said dropped the F bomb like more than 10 times today talking about my math quiz. which is bad. i don't like to cuss...too much.
but then on to the good stuff :D
i went in after school to harrison's and he went over my quiz with me and i found out that all my wrong answers were because I made fkn stupid mistakes. i completely understood the concept and everything, but i made stupid stupid stupid mistakes. so harrison gave me a couple more points on my quiz. still and F, but every point counts when I'm working towards my B/A!! :D:D
all my other class periods were pretty fun like usual :D
and I tutored today. :D:D:D:D
and got $20 as little sumpn' sumpn' :D
and you know what else??
I just realized how much I love tutoring. (atleast tutoring kids i like, and who like me too :D:D)
when they get it after i've explained it, it brings a smile to my face! (cliche, i know, but hey, its true)
and when they get a grade they want on a test and they're happy about it too, it makes me feel like jumping up and down, and screaming and stuff like that.
and thats what i end up doing. :D:D
I've just been feeling like the past month has literally gone by in a wink of an eye, the snap of a finger (i've been doing that a lot more often lately). i asked sneha (or shanay, or saneeha, or sanay :D) and she felt the same way.
and then i found out i have a 69 in calc. and i WILL bring it up to an A, i'm going to try my damnd hardest. and i'm not being "overconfident" or "arrogant" as my family likes to tell me. I'm just being determined and confident.
and i'm starting to give rides to ryan now, after ryan and erilyn got into this conflict thing in the beginning of the week. you know what i think about it? both parties at fault, but ryan was the "better man" in the situation and gave in, but erilyn still refused to acknowlege that she did anything wrong. (this is all based on the info they shared with me etc. so most likely i don't know the complete story, but this is my opinion on what i know). erilyn should have arranged something with ryan if she was so worried about him occupying her time and being "top priority". a person doesn't have to be able to "say no" to arrange something, like a deal type of thing. she also shouldn't have thought that she is completely faultless in the situation. what do u expect when u tell someone things like "i do to much for you"? if they're your close friend, they'd better be damnd offended, if they weren't close friends, they wouldn't care as much. and i had no idea that she was one of those people who expect crap in return for doing favors. i'm the type of person who a. if i care, i will start things off the right way. b. if i don't then its something I decided to sacrifice, and i usually don't expect anything in return. and i honestly don't think ryan did much crap, except for comparing erilyn to bree who was a lot more worse than erilyn, atleast erilyn tried to clear things up and cared enough about the relationship to make an attempt.
but hey, its done, and ryan told me that "it will never be the same". unfortunately, my chinese bowl quote is right.
the only thing i'm worried about though is if i get caught or stopped by the cops, then i will be in deep shit.
but, for ryan its ok :D
so i finally quit like yesterday. i didn't give that bitch 2 weeks notice or anything, she doesn't deserve it. i just called her up, told her my mom wanted me to quit and didn't give me a reason and had to sit through about 10 minutes of her trying to either weasel the info out from me or telling me that she will try to "talk" to my mom on my behalf and some baloney situation about a tutor last year who quit and wanted to come back. so i just sat through that shit and nodded, agreed, said yes, made appropriate "i know exactly what your talking about" noises etc. so i told my mom about it, then my boss called my mom on her cell and had some kind of talk with her, and then called me right afterwards to tell me that "she understands" because apparently the reason my mom gave was because she wanted me to concentrate on studying and college applications etc and had no time for tutoring under her company. so apparently, kathy (her name) told me that she was leaving me a 24 hour window to call back, just in case i'm able to basically persuade my mom to let me tutor again, because kathy knows that i want to tutor (which is true, just not being ripped off by HER). and then she went on to tell me some stupid crap about, "oh, i didn't want to make you feel any worse, but at the end of october, we give tutors pay raises, after they work 40 hours". and some guilt trip shit about "it will be really sad for your students, who really like you and i've gotten great feedback from their parents" ok, whatever, i wasn't in for the money in the first place. and i'm keeping those kids btw, so problem solved. >:D so another 10 minutes of listening to her, trying to sound sad and understanding and regretful, blah bla blah blah blah. and then CLICK! end of conversation. then i called my mom and asked her what actually happened, because i definietly didn't want to trust that bitch. and apparently, kathy "forgot" to tell me all the real stuff they discussed. like my mom stuck it to her and said that her coompany and the way she was runnning things was bad for me as a first job etc. etc.. kathy told me that they were "fine" on contract terms. whatever, a load of bullshit. and she's trying to set me against my mom psh, that ho.
empowering? i think yes :D
I just found out when the new Zune 2 will be coming out and it looks fkn better/awesome than the 1st generation. it has an 80 gb hard drive, a more intuitive finger pad thing, great resolution, 3.2 inch screen, wifi syncing capabilities, and a
so even though i have the old one now, since i have a 2 year warranty, i'm just going to have it "accidentally" break, and get the new one when it comes out. and then buy another warranty on that one :D:D
and my tutoring today was super good. she finally got stuff near the end (well, kinda sorta, more than last time and she didn't fall asleep either! YAY!) and i'm hoping that she gets a B on her next test, i'm rooting for her!
NEW ZUNE FOR ME IN A 2 MONTHS OR SO BITCHES!!!!!!!! >:]'
I found out last night that the kind of pay im getting to tutor is pretty close to extortion, and according to my mom, im quoting this, "That's the rate pimps pay their prostitutes. Pimps get 70% and the prostitutes get the other 30%"
and apparently, the term of the contract i signed is about 3 times the usual length of contracts out in the "real world". the tutoring company had me sign a contract saying that i would not tutor anyone for money (if i quit) for 18 months after i get hired (or fired) something like that. my parents were pretty pissed and told me all about how i 'm not legally bound to that contract because im not 18 yet, i wasn't 18 when i signed it , so i can basically do whatever the h i want.
today, i asked whitney, she tutors for her too, and she confirmed my/my parents' suspicions. she got pretty irked too, and i said "My parents want to shut her down. They said that she is basically cheating us out of our money/labor"
Whitney then said "We should all do something about it!"
if we ended up shutting down her company/service though, a bunch of people i know would lose their tutoring jobs, but then since they arent legally bound by the contract, they could all just keep the current students they have now and charge them less (competitive rate like $20 or something) and they could pocket the whole thing for themselves. its basically like stealing their customers, but maybe its payback time....
but im going to bide my time and not say anymore about it until i quit. then im going to say whatever the h i want, that way i dont ruin my work experience rep or whatever. and i just love the new students im tutoring, and i dont want to stop tutoring. this new girl im tutoring, i went to her house today, is another sophomore and she's pretty cool. i think i crapped it up though again, because there wasn't much to tutor on and i kinda talked to her more about the PSATs, college, and homecoming. but next week, there should be more stuff for me to cover. i really want my students to get better :D
since i cant go to homecoming, heres pics of me in the dress i wanted to wear.
Today was my first day tutoring under Excel Tutoring. I have this one sophomore girl, her name is Amanda Wascom, something like that, and she's getting tutored for bio and geometry.
her dad is super nice, i think hes one of those stay at home dads, and Amanda is a little bit shy i guess? i think she was a little sick too, her cheeks were all red the whole time and she was sniffling and she was falling asleep too part way, but thats probably my fault because all i was doing was lecturing basically :( because i've never really tutored in bio before, so i had no fkn clue how to start, and i just decided to go over her review for her test tomorrow.
overall, i think i did some crap ass job today, i mean i made her go to sleep! i'll think of some ways to keep her up next time, like that BAM! guy, emerill. :D
she's in colorguard and she's trying to cope with it as well as her coursework, and she happens to know of rachel (i asked her to start some conversation).
i really hope she gets atleast a C on tomorrows bio test :D
and you know what else?
i found out how much they're paying my boss for my tutoring and its $30 an hour.
i only get $10 of that.
but, better than nothing, right?
So today was my first day "on the job". I had to pass out flyers for my tutoring company/thing, I had like a butt load. So I went early to Rolling Ridge's back to school night and met Samantha Mueller (partner in crime?) at the front and we split up. Only about 10 minutes into passing out flyers to some generally nice parents, and my wrist was literally like sprained or something, from holding that stuff at a weird angle. Except for this odd group of moms? whatever, white ladies, declined my offer of tutoring flyers and one said that she tutors too. I had no clue what the heck she was talking about, probably just some annoyed mom who was trying to turn me away. Meanly. And lying. And then, some teacher came by and I was dumb enough to offer him a paper, thinking he was some dad, and he asked "Oh, I didn't realize that's what you were passing out." and he frowned at my stack of papers.
"Am I allowed to pass them out?" I really didn't want to be kicked off by the principal or cited or some crap like that.
"No, I don't really want to know. Pass them out somewhere else."
I was subtley kicked off the campus. So onto Plan B. Which was to stick the flyers on people's cars in the parking lot and to stand off compass and pass them out. Ok, it wasn't my plan, it was on my boss's orders, trust me, the whole time I was doing my guilty conscience kept creeping up on me. I ended up getting all the cars in the parking lot, and most of the cars down Calle San Marcos. So finally, I walked back, and on the way I see a bunch of the flyers I had just posted removed. What the h. And then I remembered those white ladies a while back. Dammit! Competition! When I went back to my car, they had posted a glossy photo sized card, and on it in bright red cursive lettering "ACE Tutoring". Underneath, a long list of "advantages" like "Get tutored in the comfort of your own home!", "Lowest price!", "Free Registration!" and worst of all "Credentialed tutors!!" I couldn't believe it! Sure, they could post their crap on people's cars too, but take mine off?! Those bchs! I spent all my time and energy walking up a pretty steep hill to have them all REPLACED!!!???
SCREW YOU ACE TUTORING LADIES!!!!!
But, I don't get paid enough to take them down too, so eh, too bad.
