I just want to let everyone know that if Clay wins American Idol tonight, I'm going to vomit. I haven't even been watching the show, but I know that he's creepy, and has a voice fit for show tunes, not top 40 radio. Ruben doesn't have a great radio voice either, honestly, but he does have a great voice, and he's way cooler than Clay.
I also see that tonight buddy Firestone from the Bachelor has made his choice and we get to see what's going on now, and meet the next Bachelor. *sigh* What's wrong with people that a top choice for tv is complete strangers meeting other complete strangers and proposing to them? I don't get it.

On a brighter note, I realized what great experience I'm getting at my tutoring job. I have to basically make SEP's for all 8 of my students, and be far more creative and flexible than I would have to be in any regular classroom. I have one student who wants to learn. The rest range from "I'd rather not" to "I would rather shove hot nails into my eyes than do work". It's not very fun sometimes, but there are only 21 school days left, and sometimes it is fun. The student I'm working with in the mornings has made improvements in how much work he gets done. Mainly because he comes for tutoring 3 times a week and I make him do work there, but still, it's better for everyone. He's gone from having to stay in every day for not having work done or assignments handed in, to actually having his homework done one day without having been to tutoring the night before. It's really frustrating because he's more than capable of doing any of the work that's thrown at him, but chooses not to most of the time. How to make 13 year-olds understand that school is just something you have to do to get on with your life?
