I Can't Work Even if I Try

Like I have said in a previous post, I had a mock tutoring session scheduled for tonight at 9. Unfortunately, it was canceled a few hours ago. The last time I had this mock session scheduled, the person conducting the session didn't show. Now, they're canceling on me. I need to get this mock session done so that I can start tutoring, but factors outside my control are all aligned against me. So I have to reschedule again and keep my fingers crossed and hope it works out this third time.

Anyway, a friend of my parents called me today and offered me a little tutoring job. Apparently, her son is having a little trouble with his grades in school and she was hoping I could help out a couple of night a week. Considering I am doing nothing at the moment, I welcome the offer.

I might not be so inactive for long. Today, actually, just a few minutes ago, I wrote a resume. It's long overdue. I suggest having a resume as early as possible. If only I was good at taking my own advice. Anyhow, I wanted the give a special thanks to Devin, Dan, and Louisa for sending me their resumes as a template to work from. I also want to thank Louisa for pointing me to a job posting that I'm very excited about, my inspiration to write the resume. Thanks to Devin, Carolina, and Andy. I sent them my resume and will appreciate feedback they can offer or have offered. I'm pretty pumped about this job posting though; it sounds like work right up my alley. Here is the link to the job posting if you're interested in taking a look at the description. You can let me know what you think of it.

I feel like I accomplished quite a bit today with the resume. The night is young though, and I plan on writing a cover letter for the job I mentioned above.

My SEAD buddy, Martenn, asked me to write a post on my first experiences as a Freshman in college. He mentioned it in one of his comments on a previous post. Thank you, Martenn for setting a good example. If there is anything you readers want to hear about, do let me know via comments, as I'm sure I'll start running out of ideas soon. If I don't write, you have less to read; no one wins unless you hate the blog. If this is the case, I suggest you stop reading. Self-inflicted blog reading is a terrible thing.
