Stuff from the school

The tutees didn't show up this week. I see how it is, you little ingrates. Use me for your exam and then dump me. The program cancels sessions if a quorum doesn't show up more than two weeks straight. I have to admit, I almost do hope mine gets canceled because one less thing on my plate--even though I know the experience and the meagre pay are important.

Lately I've been wanting to avoid Reality Land. I have some weird manic/nervous energy going on from all the life changes I think. Having immense difficulty concentrating on tasks.

So, today I came up with an idea to make concentration fun, after doing ridiculously badly on a clothing articles quiz for Beginning French. Apparently I didn't recall being told to study the French words for clothing articles. To address this failing, I melded study with concept art by drawing a ghastly picture of the Ainur for my comic modeling modern western clothing. "ILS PORTENT LES VÊTEMENTS" the image declares matter-of-factly, and all the clothing articles are labeled en français. I think it worked reasonably well to make the words lodge in my brain, and now it hangs as an eyesore by the mirror where I can study the vocab while brushing my teeth.

My hijinks lately are wanting a scanner. And yes, I am very easily amused.
