You may remember me ranting and raving about the tutoring outcome on 6th of April this year. Well, I'd like to update that a bit.
We had our very final tutor trainings on Monday and Tuesday. Even then I was still a bit doubtful about this; I was so regretful about ever applying for tutoring in the first place that by Wednesday morning when every other tutor expressed how much they were excited I felt no excitement none whatsoever. Which then turned out to be a good thing as I was stupid enough not to stress out and therefore did not mess with words that much (well, any more than I do usually when in contact with previously unknown people) or make that much mistakes otherwise (although one student union guy told us that it doesn't matter even if we make mistakes: the freshmen are so out of everything they're not going to notice). First I had only one woman in my group, but later the same day I had a second student to join us. Today I got an e-mail telling my group will expand with one more student on Monday. Not bad. =) I'm a deluxe tutor. I really do like being useful, knowing I am important to them. To know my tutor uniform lets other students know as well that I am there to help them all. Today I ended up helping a freshman from the technics faculty. My next step is to get overalls of my own where I can sew the nine patches I currently have.
As for the social side I was complaining about... well, I'm scheduled to be part of the World Tour company tomorrow night (we have been divided into pairs each pair having a specific country according to which we are to wear costumes tomorrow evening in the party). Otherwise that's okay, but the actual party (where the costumes are required) won't beginning until ten p.m. I mean... that's when I usually am very much home getting ready to go to bed. Last night I was half asleep by ten! Well, there's no cancelling this one so Im just going to have to grin and bear it through but I am not going to stay there after midnight: that's when I will be home. I'll just end up having my daily rhythm fucked up just when it good for scho... sorry, *university*.
