Boring Real Life Stuff

I'm tired. So. Very. Tired. But I can't sleep, because if I go to sleep now I'll never be up in time for my lesson tomorrow. So I have to stay awake until tonight. I wouldn't be tired if I my migraine hadn't gone up to a ten last night, making it impossible for me to do anything except feel violently ill.

Anyway. I called my friend last night, hopefully she'll call back soon so we can arrange a Dr. Who Marathon. Hopefully. Also, the tutor guy my mom emailed? Hasn't emailed back yet. So she called the principal about it, and the principal was all "six hours in a row like wha?" and so he's gonna get me a different tutor.. He also said that the tutors aren't allowed to work during the winter break, which I don't quite get, but hey, it means I get a holiday. So I'm cool with it.

My cat Pebbles is currently asleep in my dresser drawer. It's unbelievably adorable. Seriously, she's been in there for about an hour, nestled in amongst the clothes. Adorable.

More Lessons

So, apparently the other tutor guy thinks that he should be able to do all six hours a week in one go. I'm sorry, no, if I could handle that, I'd be at school. Three hours is about my limit. So my mom's emailing him about this, and if he can't work with that we'll have to find someone else.

Fun, huh?

So, if I do end up doing three hours, that still leaves me with three days a week free, counting Saturday and Sunday.

Lessons

I had my first lesson with the tutor today. It was nice, low stress, and it was in the library. A dark room in the library, which was good. I like the tutor, though I wish I knew how to tell her that I know what inclusive means. Seriously, does anyone actually get to high school not knowing what "inclusive" means? That's frightening. It actually said, in the book, it had a definition of inclusive. And exclusive. I mean, come on! Anyway, this woman will be teaching me maths and French, only we didn't have any French work yet, so I had two hours of maths. Which works for me. I'm definitely glad we go one problem at a time, rather than a whole page, for two reasons. One, I don't actually need to do a whole page of problems, I've got it down after about five, tops. Two, because I know from experience that I have to wait longer if we do it by the page. Last year my mum was homeschooling me, and when we did the math we would do problems by the page, then go over them. Except I'd end up waiting about five minutes for her to finish. When we do it by the problem, it at least doesn't feel like such a long wait.

Anyway, here's my lesson schedule as it now stands:

Monday: 1:00-3:00
Thursday: 1:00-3:00

See? Very low stress. I'll have more to do once we get things set up with the other tutor, the one who's doing everything that's not maths or French. He was supposed to email my mum today, but he didn't.

I've also finished the Wizard of Oz- now I just have to find the second book.
