I started tutoring a kid in grade five for math this week. I was so excited! I had so much fun thinking of mini "lesson plans" but it's hard to find fun things to do. I mean, I personally enjoy sitting down and doing my multiplication facts or any other math problem really...I'm an exception. But this boy, to my disbelief, was weaker at adding than multiplying! So we spent pretty much all of yesterday's half an hour working on addition. And I did think of a cool game---the card game Pyramid. He seemed to like that and then of course, there's flash cards and the good ol' pen and paper. We started out with half an hour of lessons Tuesday and Wednesday but then the boy's mom thought that it might be better if it was just once a week for an hour. I agree because you just get started in half an hour and don't get a lot done. So now I don't go again until next Tuesday...which I'm realizing is closer than I was thinking. Which also means I should be working on my Career's brochure. Oops.

So I'm editing my novel right now and that is an adventure, let me tell you! Especially because I've already decided that my ending is going to be changed...again. But I think I've learned my lesson. Or am learning it. Anyways, I'll rewrite my ending FIRST and get it (close to) perfect and then go back and add scenes, change them, whatever. This should be more efficient, though there are no guarantees. There never are.

And that's pretty much it for right now, except for dinner which I'm about to go eat!
