The Beginning of Goodbye
... even more work after actual work, it gives me a nice break from the stress of my regular class. The girls I tutor are so sweet and compliant and their families are wonderful, too. Being gone for nearly 13 hours a day is exhausting but it keeps me occupied so I'm a little less aware of the boredom that might otherwise encompass me.
Despite the downsides and dreariness of day-to-day life, there are, in fact, some benefits to being here... For example, what other ...
Just a little messed up
