- my tutor kids proofread their papers without me having to ask them: Usually, the kids just hand over their papers to me as soon as they dot the last period. They throw it at me like the paper has some sort of highly contagious disease. I usually have to say, "You wanna read over it before you give it to me?" For the first time on Saturday, they stopped themselves before handing their papers over to me and read over their paragraphs. I couldn't help but smile so big as I watched them correct their spelling and grammatical errors.
- Quanch Squad reassembled: They were uber rad, of course. If only... maybe one day...
Sunday was the day when...
- I attended a meeting to discuss translating and editing dictionaries to send to North Korea. It looks like it's going to be a big project.
- Johny, Dan and I ate dinner and dessert together. Great company, nostalgia, fun conversations... I like.
- I drove back to San Diego with Andrea. Towards the end of the car ride, we were both so delirious. I don't remember driving from Encinitas to San Diego and Andrea was talking about nonsense.
Monday was the day when...
- I interviewed with Big Brothers Big Sisters - the Amachi Program (mentoring program for children of the incarcerated). The interview was an hour long! I guess it makes sense. They want to make sure I don't mess up some kid's life.
- I went to lunch with the bosses. I learned that when you go to lunch with the bosses, everyone ends up paying too much and somehow the person calculating the check ends up with a profit. The Communications Team's lunches were all paid for and we ended up with $20.
Today, Andrea and I are going to enjoy the nighttime zoo festivities. I'm a bit tired, but I think I'll be uber jazzed once I get to the zoo.
I've been thinking a bit about my future these days. I have a three-year plan in mind for staying here in San Diego, then going back to school. But, I wonder if I can last that long in one place. On the other hand, I fear that won't be enough time to take care of my family and take care of my student loans. Hmmm... Plus, what should I study? Law School? International Relations? Photography? Creative Writing? Film School? Really? Eeek! I get excited and scared thinking about it all. I suppose I at least have one more year to not seriously think about it.

"I learned that when you go to lunch with the bosses, everyone ends up paying too much and somehow the person calculating the check ends up with a profit."
When you go to breakfast, lunch, or dinner with high school, church, or college peers, everyone ends up paying too little and somehow the person calculating the check ends up paying however much is short and goes home with a deficit.
Why don't you major in what you're already majoring in in life? "Saving the World (and Africa)"
Oh, I gotz a new blog (click the link)
I meant "study" not "major." I thought you were just entering college there for a second, haha
