Anyway, my second job started again and as reluctant as I was to give up every afternoon of the weekday to work, I'm having a lot of fun. Yesterday, during my one on one session with a seven year old, we got into an argument about Mace Windu and Anakin Skywalker while reading a Star Wars comic. I told him that if Mace Windu would have just allowed Anakin to be a Jedi Master then he probably wouldn't have gone to the Dark Side. His reply was "Nu uh! I don't like that. You're wrong. Anakin is a bad guy and Mace Windu is cool...except for his purple light saber. I hate purple." It was adorable. We decided that the best way to settle the argument was to end our session with a game of Marvel Memory Match. He totally kicked my ass too.
I also tutor another little boy who is very high energy and (to be quite honest) leaves me absolutely exhausted after our sessions. Still, he is one of my favourite students. He has only ever responded positively to me and one other tutor and he likes to do something different about every seven minutes. I really have to plan for this kid. It's totally worth it though! He draws me pictures of hearts with wings and halos and signs his name in six year old writing, backwards letters and all. I love it.
So, yeah. That's my life right now. I've been writing a lot, just not on the computer. I don't really sit down at a computer much anymore and I really love writing "the old fashioned way" so it all works out nicely. Perhaps I'll put up one of the poems I've written recently.
Okay. /blog.
