Starting on Monday, I will be working 90 minutes per weekday with a ninth-grade student on Biology and English. He has limited English proficiency and narcolepsy (where he falls asleep without warning). On his test days (for biology) I'll sit in the classroom with him and read the test with him (and I think I get paid extra for that).
Woo Hoo!
This is at the same school where I interviewed last week for the keyboarding position.
Also ... on Monday I'll be meeting with a mom of another 9th grade boy who is Autistic. If we gell, then I may start shadowing her son in his afternoon classes one or two days a week. The mom has been doing the shadowing full time since the woman who'd worked with him before found another job in her field. So, this would mainly be a way for the mom to be able to get some things done during the school day.
If I have all three of these jobs (tutoring 6th grade boy, and the two 9th grade boys) I will not only have enough to pay my bills each month, but have enough to put away for tuition for next year! Meaning, that I may not have to borrow from my dad for my final semester (which is something I was thinking I may have to do, due to all the car expenses).
Best of all, though - No more gym after this Thursday!!!
This will mean that I'll have to be more efficient with my own classwork, but I really think it is quite doable.
Heh, I'm going back to high-school!
I Quit the Gym!!!

Wow, that sounds like a really great arrangement, job-wise. Glad to hear it!

Gamecock,
My mom assures me that once people there at the school know about me, that I'll have more work than I can handle in the summer. This particular school has a good deal of outside reading required during the summer - so parents need someone to work with their kids on completing it.

Yep, that's part of what I like the most about it - these are all jobs that actually contribute something to the world -- rather than handing out keys and towels to people at a gym.
