so i tutored again this morning. it was all confusing at first because debbie (the woman in charge of tutoring, not my friend debbie) wasn’t in her classroom, and i didn’t know where diego’s classroom was because she didn’t show me last time and i didn’t think to ask. i had no idea where debbie was, so i sat in her room and amused myself by making faces at the turtle.
after about 10 minutes i decided to walk back up to the office to ask if they knew where she was. turns out she was across the road at target with the choir (random!) but another woman was able to help me find diego by going to all the 4th grade classrooms and checking the student lists posted outside the doors. so we were about 20 minutes late getting started. he did some more multiplication, as well as a few words problems (in spanish–he had to translate for me, sheesh), and when he finished that, i made him do a few more problems with elevens and twelves. he didn’t want to, but i convinced him. mwa ha ha. 😉
when we were done i gave him one of the space station expedition 6 stickers that cindy brought around the office yesterday. diego didn’t know what nasa or the space shuttle or astronauts were. i have my work cut out for me!
anyway. it was fun. diego is a nice kid.
we’re supposed to have softball tonight, but i think we may be rained out. it hasn’t actually rained yet, but it was the foggiest i’ve ever seen outside this morning (i couldn’t even see the kemah bridge until i was on it), and i don’t think the weather is supposed to get any better; on the weather.com map, all i can see is various shades of green headed my way. the weird thing is that it’s warm outside. after spending a year in and around san francisco, i associate fog with chill.
anyway. i’m being pretty boring this morning. maybe i’ll have more to say later.
(12:23 p.m.)
i love the mirror in the women’s bathroom here at work. i am convinced that it is slightly concave, making one appear thinner than they actually are. i want this mirror in my apartment. it makes me feel quite attractive.
