Seriously.
Having to be at school at 8 almost every day just sucks. It sucks more when you barely have any empty-ish day. Actually, I don't have a single one of those. Too much class time + work time + lab time + volunteering time = fkhsda;fkjdsa;fkjdsa;fkjdsklafdsakjhfld.
I HATE IT.
Today I was going to print out some stuff before heading over to the tutor training session at the MAC, but the computer was being stupid so I only got to print out my stuff way later. Then I went to wait for the bus, and so many people walked out of nowhere and by the time the bus I needed came by, it was crowded and too many people got on it, and I was like, screw this, I'll walk even though I'm risking slipping and falling down with every step. I walked all the way across the mall area and then I realize the session would already start and I was so freaking tired and was not in the mood to be late to the training and sit through it for 1.5 hours. I was like, screw it, I'm going to grab food and go to tomorrow's training session instead. And miss part of my genetics class.
Oh, there was the biology textbook in my backpack. It was heavy. I was tired.
Every day has been tiring, and I barely had any time to do anything. All my reading-intensive classes are right after one another, and my biology TA is awful and my lab group seems awful and I'm just SO SO SO frustrated with life.

Okay, class and work taking up my time = acceptable. Stupid little things like crowded buses and dumb people = not acceptable.
I don't know how I'll deal with my tutoring job this semester because some of the students like to mess with my time so much, and I do NOT have the time to let them waste.
And to be honest, I'm not especially impressed with any of my classes.

I wish I could just say, "HANG IN THERE!!" and tell you that everything will be A-OK regardless, but I don't think that is ever a fair thing to do. Even if things all work out just fine after a few weeks, I know exactly how it feels to be in your position. (Not so much with the work aspect, but school, volunteering, and life issues? Yes.)
ReplyDeleteHowever, I do think that you will make an adjustment to the semester and adapt accordingly. You're probably the most ambitious person I have ever met thus far in my life (seriously), and I hope I see a smile on your face the next time I run into you. :) You're beyond generous with your time (very clear to me!), and I hope these butt face losers on crowded buses and dumb people in general get to know who you are (and stay out of your way!).
That was really random, but I HATE when the connectors or other buses fill up, and most of the other people magically push their way through to the front, while I've been standing there for what, 10 minutes? Yeahhhh, not cool.
As far as your tutoring job goes with those students, I think that is totally unfair to you. They clearly don't realize how much time and effort YOU are putting forth, and that would irritate me, too. I am starting a volunteer position with Augsburg Fairview Academy as an academic tutor, but I am assuming it will be a bit different since they are in high school and I have to go directly to them.
Anyway, I'm rambling, but I do hope for the best for you, because if anyone deserves it, it's you!
Thank you so much for the comment. You're so amazing. Today has been much better (Friday--my most free day) but your comment still made it better :)
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing (with buses) is when you jump in and realize that teeny bit of room is not going to work, so you hop out. Then someone right there decides to try too, realizes they'd just push the people inside, and then occupies the space. I don't know, I guess it's a blurry situation but I still feel like I was there first. Maybe they're in a rush, but it doesn't mean nobody else isn't!
Oh well, I'll try to be open-minded with these people because often times, people don't really know how long others have been waiting or if they're in a rush or anything... (still annoying though, argggh)
I hope your tutoring position goes well! Do you know which subjects you'll be tutoring yet? Either way, it'll be a great experience, especially because high school students are more easily brainwashable into liking things (I think) :)
You're very welcome. :D I'm always enjoying your posts, even if I don't post a specific comment -- just know that I'm reading them, loving them, relating to them, and, well, smiling. :)
ReplyDeleteOh! The situations where another person jumps in and manages to squeeze into the spot that you just gave up?? I SO know how that one goes! :P I always just feel embarrassed. Haha.
But yes, being open-minded is a good thing, and yeah, a lot of people just don't pay any attention to others anyway.
Thanks! As far as I know, the two subjects that they are looking for the most tutoring help with are math and science. I agree -- they are more easily brainwashed by us "old folks". ;)
