And I couldn't have predicted it, since I woke up at 6:15 this morning.

I'm starting to do private tutoring in addition to the hours I work at the Tutorial Center to supplement my income. Today, I tutored two girls in organic and biochemistry. In addition to the $50 cash I got for only about 2.5 hours of work, they also said that I'd make a good teacher. At the end of the session, one of the girls remarked that she couldn't believe that she learned more in an hour with me than she learned in lecture all week long. In addition to the wonderful boost that gave me ego, I found myself feeling really proud, not only of myself, but of them because towards the end there, they started getting more and more of the problems completely correct and could explain the steps of how they arrived to those answers. The more I tutor, the more I come to realize that I want to share my love and knowledge of the sciences with people; I want to teach. Even if I become a researcher in industry, I'd still want to teach on the side--maybe night classes at a community college even. It's just completely rewarding to actually observe that moment when everything clicks in the brain of a student and it all started to make sense to them. I'm addicted. Tomorrow, I get another fix, this time with a different girl who needs help in microbiology. I know it takes a chunk out of my weekend to take the time to help these people, but I find myself looking forward to it.

When I got home today, there was another surprise. Remember my cousin: the ungrateful Bitchfacecuntbagslutwhorefuckertwat McAsshole? She moved out today. Good fucking riddence! Lately we've been hearing strange shuffling noises coming from her room and today, she was just suddenly gone. My mom is relieved, although she is also kinda pissed that my cousin just left without so much as an explanation for her behavior the last few months or whatever. Personally, I don't care what sort of axes she has to grind against my mother or my family; I'm just glad her stupid axe is GONE.

It's cool that you've found something you really like doing. :)

It is an awesome day! Its good that you're able to teach so well and earn money on the sides. Hope your cousin NEVER comes back.
