Cool Cherry Cream

Feel like I haven’t written in a very long time. Have lots to talk about. Nothing exciting. As always. Sentence fragment.

Don’t think I’ve talked about this since my first/last post on peer tutoring. It’s been strange, lots of craziness, but in the end, I’m in the 1L class (the teacher who I’ve before’s class) but then I go to the 1P class on Mondays and Fridays (the teacher who I don’t know’s class). I was a little worried at first, because the 1P teacher seemed kind of not kind. But a few Fridays ago, the 1L teacher tells me that I’m supposed to go to the other teacher’s class, and I didn’t really have a choice to say “no”. And it actually went… good! I forget what all happened the first day, except that I actually got to do attendance, whereas I haven’t in the other class. I was really counting on doing that everyday so I could put it down as one of the six things I’m supposed to do everyday. I was worried I’d say someone’s name wrong and… I did. It was Randi. I said “ron-dee” instead of “ran-dee”. Darn people and their creative spellings of normal names! But it was okay, I realized right away what I said and what an idiot I was, so it was fine.

I went to go tell the peer tutoring teacher what my new arrangement was, and I was told that she arranged it! Apparently the 1P teacher talked to her because she wasn’t sure what a peer tutor was supposed to do, and when my teacher told her, her eyes lit up and was like “they can do that!?”, so of course a peer tutor sounded like a good idea. Teachers given permission to let someone else do their job? Fuck yeah! She also said that the 1P teacher couldn’t believe she’d “turned down a 90% student”. On one of my first days in the 1L class, the teacher helped approached me and introduced herself, so I introduced myself back, even though the teacher had just done so. She said “I know you, you’re one of those good kids”. Nice.

Got into Brock yesterday. Wasn’t quite as happy as I wanted to be, because they’re only giving me $1,000 a year, since my entrance average included English, Data, and Calculus. But, had I put Communications rather than Computer Science as my first choice, I could’ve gotten $2,000 a year, but I wouldn’t be able to do co-op, in which case, Computer Science still is the better choice.

On a semi-related topic, I’ve found a con of being a post grad. I mean, other than the fact that people constantly ask you “why are you still here?”. And other than the fact that I’m still here.

You see, I’m taking two grade 12 courses that count towards university but that are lame and fairly easy and two grade 11 courses that don’t count for anything. Plus the fact that I haven’t had afternoon classes for quite awhile because my teacher never feels the need to show up. Plus the fact that I’m eighteen and can technically cut out whenever I want, it all kind of makes me feel like I’m better than all this and don’t need to be here and don’t need to try. This kind of attitude is not at all good for going into university, and it’s got me worried.

What else, what else? I have a few random musing rolling around in my head, but nothing enough to make much out of it, so I guess I’m done for now.
