Competent?

When I went to take a shower today i realized i had been wearing my underwear inside out all day.

I cannot wait until summer time. True it's a little sad that year one of my college experience is almost over. I'm not TOO depressed though. It's not like I'll never see the people here again and of course the school itself will always be here unless it somehow happens to be in the path of some freak future natural disaster. For a while i feared i would have nothing to do this summer. In mid-April I was caught in a limbo when trying to decide whether or not i should take summer school. Recently i surpassed the "maybe i should take summer school" stage to the "perhaps i will take summer school" stage. However to my surprise/intrigue i discovered enrollment for most classes had closed already. I figured this was probably not meant to be a very productive summer.

Then i was made a very unexpected offer by my mothers friend who happens to be the mother of my friend (notice the cool play on words). I accepted with a long and dull summer ahead of me in mind and i am now hired as George and his sister's math tutor.

I'm not so sure this was a smart decision my mother's friend's part. Although i am a math major and love math (sometimes) i do not feel qualified/competent enough for this job. Was it a smart decision to place the math minds of two innocent (maybe not so innocent in George's case) children into my hands, let alone pay me for it? I think not.

But we will see....Meanwhile i must find another job to occupy myself with for the remaining 5 days in the week and hope that SOMEONE who is not my mother or my mother's friend will hire me.
