Tutoring
I have to go tutor in an hour, and I'm absolutely dreading it. The kid I tutor lives fifteen minutes away, I tutor him for an hour, and his mom can talk for a solid ten minutes straight, so the whole thing is really a two-hour ordeal. It isn't that he's a bad kid; he really isn't. He has a horrible work ethic, he has very low respect for me, and he thinks that school is a joke, but other than that, he's great. I think that part of it is that he has Asperger's, so he only ever wants to be playing games. He is even writing a paper on why children should be allowed to use their phones at school; not for education, but for game-playing. I keep telling him that that is a very hard thing to prove, but he thinks that it'll be funny. He's never seen Harry Potter or Pokemon because his extremely Catholic mother thinks they're bad, but he wants to include a GIF of Umbridge at the end of his paper, as if that were possible. Once, he decided to steal my phone because he thought I was texting, when I was really looking up the answer to something. He wouldn't give it back until I left. The only good thing about this job is I get $40 a week and sometimes he gives me temporary tattoos.
