Finally

Today was my 3rd final. I have one more to go, thank heavens. It is on Tuesday, and couldn’t come at a better time. I need the weekend to rest. Why? Because I had to wake up at 6 a.m. for the finals of classes I don’t take until 9, 10, and 11 a.m. Definitely not the highlight of the semester.

Tutoring is over, and I’m a little sad. It was the closest I’ve come to teaching English in my life. The confidence resulting from getting to genuinely help students thrilled me into submission. Extreme overtime became my calling.

Last night I kicked some butt at Harry Potter Scene It! Chuck E. Cheese had a bad night, since three of their machines were malfunctioning. Over 3000 tickets were tallied for our team. So, we got the game for about $10. I won both rounds. My affection for Scene It! only encourages people to exclaim “she’s cheating!” It’s a DVD/board game. The questions are random. I had never played the Harry Potter version.

Summertime is here and the living is easy, in May at least. I graduate from community college, get a nice little paycheck, and finish the month with a well-deserved vacation. Snaps for May. The only trouble ahead is that June will arrive and the underlying question of a job will rear its ugly head. I’ll see what I can do.

The Office is back! I watch every episode the night of its premiere, then play it back on my fan-tab-u-lous DVR. You don’t realize how much TV you watch until you use a DVR. After the second viewing of Rory and Logan’s breakup, you crawl into a ball and wail for an intelligent hobby. Oh, I should mention that I have two books on stand-by waiting for me to finish school: a Stephen King novel and The Great Gatsby, respectively. I’ve heard enough about the latter to finally pick it up.
