So this has been an.. eventful week. As winter break is fast approaching let's just say this will be perhaps the last post I make until then. Next week will be test hell: meaning that we'll have a test day, if not every block. But I can almost taste my winter break so it is very worth it.
The biggest news this week is.. I became an official tutor. Not just finishing the training courses, but getting a tutee!! Coincidentally all my friends got a tutee around that time too lol. This just means another excuse for me to not blog, fuck yeah guys! Blog-crastination! I went home that day with my assignment sheet feeling VERY NERVOUS.
Then the regular thing happens:I rehearsed with myself. I rehearsed with myself. I talked to the wall. I screwed up. I jumped on my bed. I rolled around. Picked up my bass and rage-played. Calmed down. Got tea. Tried to dial number. Undialed. Redialed. Undialed. Repeat this for another hour or so and when I finally called...Turns out the number had a problem with it and all I got was the call error message. So much for 1 hour of shaking and freaking out for that. I did what I was supposed to the next day, talked to the teacher about what happened. Got the right number. Called that night with the same process as above. This time I got an answer from the dad. Thank god! A real human to talk to! Turns out the mom takes care of these affairs so I said I'll call back tomorrow. Which is today! I called today and.. My tutee picked up. Shit this was bad. It went kinda like this:
Me: Hello may I please speak to Mrs.-MOM-?
Tutee: Um.. Who is this?
Me: This is Christa Yeung..I'd like to er.. talk about tutoring -TUTEE-
Me: This is Christa Yeung..I'd like to er.. talk about tutoring -TUTEE-
Yes, I had doubts whether the young girl I was talking to was my tutee.
Tutee: Are you looking for -SELF-?
Me: Oh you're -TUTEE-.. U..M..I..ER..W..Wa.. Wanted to talk to your mother about being your..uh tutor..Do you know when she'll be back?
At this point I felt like the tutee wanted me to just ask her about the details..
Me: Just want to reconfirm and discuss timings and stuff with your mom, yeah.
Tutee: She'll be back around 9.
Me: Ok, I'll call then, thanks
Tutee: Ok, bye.
Me: You're welcome.

OK. WHY DID I SAY YOU'RE WELCOME? THAT SHOULD BE EVERYONE'S MAIN CONCERN. Maybe in the actual conversation along the way, she said thank you. I sat in shame for 5 minutes after that so no need to scold me for my wrong doings now. So 9PM passed not too long ago and I have called and left a message.. Let's hope I get a reply within the next hour because getting a call in around 10AM tomorrow would leave me utterly fucked.
Wish me luck..Guys ._.
See you tomorrow.
