reflections on current conselling work...

mum thinks i should save the place from complete destruction. my mum's an aquarius, and my experience (and careful oberservation) of aquarians has taught me this: they love to save the world.

the place where i am working right now (2nd day of work today), was sort of like an ailing tution centre under the cover of a multimedia institute-affiliated with edexel. technically, its not exactly a tuition centre, but they do teach. and provide diploma's and courses etc in multimedia and everything related to it.

the enviornment and the crowd were not what i was normally used to. there was a lack of organisation where the conselling was concerned. the other consellor, a woman with horrible white makeup (bushy eyebrows and the longest arm hair ever seen on a woman) has had previous work experience in a call centre. i know i shouldnt judge people by appearances and that i'm being very bad, but its hard to concentrate on work with her displaying her arms like that (and i noticed for others as well) ick. it grieves me to say, she's actually really really dumb and lacks basic etiquettes. i may have spelt that wrong.

after going through a horrible day at work yesterday, i came home at 6.20pm-ish and took a quick nap. at 7.00pm my cute little student arrived. yes i have begun to home school someone. that was my 3rd class with her. she's in 8th grade and works hard. plus, i am going through a phase when i want to be somewhat of a work-a-holic. i hate sitting idle. i'm having fun teaching her! :)

went to the tailor somewhere near tariq road (i would like to mention here that i am not very much a clothes or shoes person, at my age, i still dont know how to buy either, mum gets me material and i chose which one i like) i think after i get "married" or am an independant woman (according to most of our parents/relatives), i shall hire a person a professional umm dresser.

the only thing i am good at buying is books and cds.

right, while at tariq road i wanted to check out the beatles centre, but it was late and aaahh... the bottom line is i really need a guitar stand.

went to sleep exhausted.

better today. i may have been getting over the shock. i am just... used to more err professional enviornments.

did i mention everyone here is trying really hard to make me feel welcome? i was even offerred free lunch for a week! :)

aaahhh... i'll give it a week.
