School again today, I did a Math Pre Test and got a pitiful 530/800 - Really bad because Math is actually a subject I really enjoy.

There were a couple of reasons I got such a poor score, I missed 5 questions because I ran out of time and while doing my exams I had the lovely D trying to chat to me about nothing in particular during the exam period as he was taking a non time limited test at the same time.

Every question I did do, I got right, so while the score is shitty (I need a 550 in math minim for some college requirements) If I can just learn to speed up a little I should be okay.

As a result I have 15 pages of Algerbra to do before next Thursday. o_O
(heh, I'm secretly loving it, but don't tell anyone I don't wanna look like a swot).

I also spent some time with V helping him with his constitution exam as he missed it last week.

V has a lot of responsibility laying on his huge (he's 6'6 at least and built like a football player) but young shoulders. He's only 18, already has 3 kids and he's from a rough part of town, a dangerous and rough part of town. One could assume he's part of the dangerous part too if you get my drift.

But this kid is so sharp, so very sharp, and such a quick learner.

Before I helped him, he score around 50% for his exam, we spent half an hour together and this time he got 88% - I was so proud of him. I gave him a big hug and cheek kiss, and he blushed so hard *laughs*

It was just so good to see that spark in his eye, of opportunity and options.

Gale, the teacher, has commented that she thinks I'm the "Mommy" of the class, that I look after the other students and so forth. While being called a Mom isn't a compliment I usually like, in this case it feels good.

Over the past couple of weeks, I've been doing testing and teaching outside of what is being taught in class (we recently got a bunch of new students and we are having to repeat a lot of stuff that I don't need), and as I have mentioned before, I really do love the teaching / assisting side of things.

I dont think I could teach kids, especially not teenagers, I'm just not chilled enough for that.

I also don't think I could handle the bureaucracy of working for an educational facility, but I am really into this whole teaching thing.

I got a e-mail from the college councilor who I have been talking to about what path / job I should take, and she says she now has my aptitude test results back and she's ready to talk to me. Typically, I'm now busy until Wens, but I'm gonna call in the morning and see if I can fit her in asap.

I'm really curious as to what the computer thinks I should do. You guys got any guesses?

I'll be sure to let you know (unless its really bad like "dunnycleaner" or something).

Its all so very very exciting time for me right now :)
