It's still the beginning of January. I'm still deciding. I worked for Kumon Tutoring yesturday for the first time and made only a total of $26 dollars. Texas minimum wage is terrible. I didn't really like it so much because it's a corporate based tutoring center that encourages independent learning. So there really wasn't much of me tutoring anybody... except when some of the kids asked me how to do this or that. But then my manager would stop me from helping them saying that they need to do it on their own. I did manage to fit in some one on one help. I gave spelling tests for two kids. I taught another kid how to do complex fractions in his head. And taught a super smart six year old girl past, present, and future tense. I was so amazed at her. She's in kindergarten but knows how to read at a 3rd grade level. She even corrects her own punctuations! I barely knew my alphabet at that age let alone how to speak proper english!
So after that, I researched and applied to more jobs. I'm still waiting on Mad Potter and The Chocolate Bar. But now that I have just woken up at noon, and feeling great with no employment, I asked myself, "Should I just spoil myself rotten and not work?". I really could. Parents don't care, and I haven't spent any money in a week. So I started to figure that I can really just take advantage of these free months and take a buncha art classes. Ya know, relive those art school nyu days for a bit? But that means more tuition money. But this is the only long break I"ll have for the next four years of my life. Should I?
