tuition

(my post earlier on the play i watched yesterday got eaten up!)

saturday morning was what i believe to be my last tuition lesson for this cycle of the academic year. it's been a new experience for me, the running to people's house, the scheduling and all the little frustrations that can come with trying to teach. i only started in august though, so even now i'm still pretty new to this whole thing.

but the time spent has been enriching. it's a good way to make some money, but apart from this, it brings back memories of all that now irrelevant knowledge that i've slowly acquired through the years. and it has somehow reminded me about how things were like then, the friends, the school and the work.

it's odd that now having it over, i feel the lingering sense of nostalgia. in this in between season there is always the uncertainty of whether i will be required again for the next cycle. there have been positive outcomes and some not so positive ones and i do feel that with greater time i could probably do a lot more than trying to teach one year's syllabus in a few lessons and hoping for that person to do well.

finally now, there is a loosening of my schedule, which is a welcome relief. it's been pretty hectic over the past few months.
